I think maybe He did. Sure would help explain all those dinosaur bones that keep getting dug up. And I don't think the idea that evolution was part of God's intelligent design in any way diminishes what He did.

The answers you're getting really crack me up.
The level of ignorance displayed about religion and science here is laughable.
Biologists (as in the serious professionals) explain the fact of evolution with the theory of Natural Selection. This is not a cosmological theory; it merely attempts to explain the observable world around us. The theory is completely silent on the origins of life. Science is patently ignorant of the supernatural (by definition). Religion, by definition requires faith in a higher order that is outside the physical world that science is studying.
If Faith can't withstand science then there is something lacking in the faith. Never try to explain God with science (it makes god testy). Likewise, do not deny science with religion (that's just freakishly fundamentalist).
Thanks for the entertainment.

In Genesis it says that God told the water to create fish and all marine life, and that the land animals (including dinosaurs) came from the ground, not that God made sludge and life came out of that. It also talks about days, LITERAL days not "a day is as a thousand years" days. Genesis also says that God told all life to reproduce its self, not reproduce something different. There is not as much support for evolution as we are being led to believe.
For instance, it might take 10 million years for light to get from a certain star to the earth, BUT God told the light to shine down upon the earth. When you're the Creator of the Universe, you get to make the rules - so the light had no choice but to shine down on the earth. So...it didn't take the light 10 million years to get here in the first place.
I think that all the dino bones help to explain Noah's flood. So do all the fully formed fish fossils. With all that water, there had to be a lot of mud. It would have covered the dinos and the fish and whatever else was in its way!

I disagree. Evolution says the strong kill or even eat the weak, and that is just. Evolution says that stupid people deserve to die. Evolution says some races are more advanced than others. What God advocates that? Evolution is a spiritual lie!
I think the dinosaur bones are from the dragons. I admit that I have strange beliefs, but consider this: many ancient cultures that had no knowledge of each other shared depictions of dragons in ancient art and legend, etc. And the dragons seemed to co-exist with humans.

In the original language the Bible was written in day, week, year, and period of time were all the same or similar words.
I think that evolution=creationism, just people are dumb for not knowing that God did it...
There are like 4-5 eras in evolution... 6 days in the Bible. The first and 2nd days creating 'days' (aka, day and night) and making the heavens and the earth. Then come animals, then humans...
So, why can't both be seen together?
Really, it doesn't matter, as long as you know that God created everything in His own time!

if so, who created God?
if this planet and the life on it does have a "creator" that we could consider God, then sure i would say God used evolution.
that whole intelligent design crap is garbage. it suggests that God is constantly shaping and molding our existence. the problem is, evolution is a constant changing and improving of our species. if what God makes is perfect, then what's there to change and improve?

I kind of agree with that, and I had a discussion with a friend the other day about it. What if the 7 days where each like, a million years long in our time, and that would explain both theories.

That's my view; I'm really happy to see that I'm not the only one! These people who insist that evolution and creation must be mutually exclusive puzzle me.

I do believe in the bible 1000 human years is in equivalence to 1 God year. (excuse my choice of words)
Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'd like to know if it isn't true.

According to the bible he created everything in 7 days. So hmm..fact or fiction.

If you can figure out a way to test your theory, you're a better investigator than anyone who has yet to live.
