Evolution, is it blasphemy, or can Christians believe it?

So many people say that evolution can't be true becuase the bible says that Adam was created by god. But I personally interpret much of Genesis and the entire bible in a less literal sense than believing that Adam was actually constructed from dirt. If you want to interpret the bible as saying that Adam was made from a ball of dirt then you also have to believe that everything on the Earth was created in seven days, and that there were no dinosaurs. Also, look at Jesus' teachings, humans are not literally salt as he says in his sermon on the mount.

So I think that maybe accepting evolution as a valid theory isn't so sacreligous as we have thought it to be for so long. Can I get a witness?

The radio often does not play anything I consider musical.

Maybe I've just heard one too many rap hits by "gangstas" or I'm tired of hearing the same power chords strummed on Gibson Les Pauls in boring eight note rythms. All I know is that most music I hear on any popular radio station does not give me the feeling music is supposed to. I find I'm much more moved by rythms that catch me off guard and guitar riffs ive never heard before led by socially off-beat lyrics. I don't have an explanation for it but often times I wonder if the radio DJ's are hearing what they're playing.

A thought on healthcare.

I'm not sure how logical this is but I thought I'd get it out there. I came up with a way that we could save money on government healthcare and also promote following the law. Maybe we could set some qualifications for healthcare support and other benefits. Like say if you are convicted of multiple felonies after the age of eighteen you are no longer eligable for government aid. It's another way to punish crminals without being to harsh and also we wouldnt have to give money to so many people, especially those who may have already been supported in prison for years or even decades.

Now maybe this is already a part of the system that I don't know about and you will laugh at me or maybe this idea is completely illogical, but please let me know that, its just something I want to talk about.
