How do I explain my evolutionary faith to my conservative family?

Yeah, I don’t really get this. You’re a Young Earth Creationist I’m guessing, but the evidence clearly shows the earth is billions of years old and that the theory of evolution is true. This is what the evidence shows, full stop. You don’t like the evidence, it doesn’t fit with your really 20th century interpretation of Genesis (studying Genesis in it’s context reveals it to be a theological polemic against Mesopotamian religion showing that the theology is primary in the text) so you reinterpret the evidence using fringe scientific theories not accepted by any scientist worth their salt and then claim through your reinterpretation of the evidence, which is a false one, that the evidence supports your position. The evidence doesn’t support your position, that’s why you had to reinterpret it and claim there’s some kind of atheistic conspiracy among scientists to hide the truth. If you were actually consistent with your worldview you’d believe the earth is flat with a solid dome sky that holds back a heavenly ocean. That’s what Genesis 1:6-7 says. There are many people who unironically claim the world is flat based on Biblical descriptions and that there’s an atheistic conspiracy to push forth that the earth is round. You probably don’t go that far but there’s a very small distance between your beliefs and theirs. They would say, the evidence supports Biblical cosmology when the atheistic scientist conspiracy is gone because they present false evidence that has been reinterpreted also and their reinterpretation of evidence (go figure) supports their point of view.
