Yes, I do believe Christianity does this. But so does the
Baha'i Faith. Here's what one Baha'i wrote.
The Baha’i teachings say that we absolutely need to feed our souls on a daily basis, and rely on the spiritual resources within our reach. In fact, the Baha’i teachings suggest that the need is urgent, that we can’t afford to wait, that this is the time for us to turn our attention to the spiritual part of our being.
To delve deeper into those questions, I want to introduce you to Baha’u’llah (1817-1892), the prophet and founder of the
Baha’i Faith, a Persian nobleman who sacrificed his comfort and safety for the promotion of humanity’s spiritual life. When Baha’u’llah revealed the Baha’i teachings, he established a global blueprint to turn this Earth into a healthy, secure, safe, and peaceful home for humanity.
Christians say it's "urgent" to get saved to prevent a person from being sent to hell. Baha'is say it's "urgent" to follow their teachings to save the world from being a living hell.
I don't know that Baha'is believe in
evolution.
Thirdly, let us suppose that there was a time when some animals, or even man, possessed some members which have now disappeared; this is not a sufficient proof of the change and evolution of the species. For man, from the beginning of the embryonic period till he reaches the degree of maturity, goes through different forms and appearances. His aspect, his form, his appearance, and color change; he passes from one form to another, and from one appearance to another. Nevertheless, from the beginning of the embryonic period he is of the species of man; that is to say, an embryo of a man, and not of an animal; but this is not at first apparent, but later it becomes visible and evident. For example, let us suppose that man once resembled the animal, and that now he has progressed and changed; supposing this to be true, it is still not a proof of the change of species; no, as before mentioned, it is merely like the change and alteration of the embryo of man until it reaches the degree of reason and perfection. We will state it more clearly: let us suppose that there was a time when man walked on his hands and feet, or had a tail; this change and alteration is like that of the foetus in the womb of the mother; although it changes in all ways, and grows and develops until it reaches the perfect form, from the beginning it is a special species. We also see in the vegetable kingdom that the original species of the genus do not change and alter, but the form, color, and bulk will change and alter, or even progress.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 309
Maybe TB can clarify this, but it sounds like humans looked like a fish, or a reptile, or some mammal, but they were always human. The problem I have with this is, when they looked like, let's say a monkey, did they have sex with non-human monkeys?
Then when they transformed into a higher species, did all the humans change at the same time?
And, when humans reached the mammal stage of their development, how many different animals did they resemble? Mice? Raccoons? Zebras? Elephants? And then Apes?
But anyway, is this still evolution?
Then about
"manifestations" being infallible...
The purpose of the Manifestation of God, according to Baháʼí belief, is to educate humanity.
[4] The Manifestations of God are seen as divine educators, who are raised up by God with the purpose of uplifting mankind and expressing his will.
[4] In expressing God's intent, the Manifestations of God are seen to establish
religion in the world.
[4] Each brings a book and
reveals teachings and laws according to the time and place which they appear.
[1] Baháʼu'lláh used the term
revelation to describe the phenomena that occurs each time a Manifestation of God appears; he stated that the writings of the Manifestation of God represent the infallible word of God, and because the writings remain after the earthly life of the Manifestation they are a very important part of revelation.
It's easy for people to say that Jesus was infallible, but Baha'is believe that Adam, Noah and Abraham were also manifestations. None of them, especially Adam, come any where near being "infallible"... that is if we go by the Bible story.
So, what's up with religion? Even a modern religion like the skinBaha'i Faith? They all have some teachings that help some people live better, more spiritual lives, but they all expect people to believe in things that don't make sense and turn out to be false.
