God and evolution can go hand in hand. If you believe that God created all life, then you must believe that same God created the bacteria from which all life has been scientifically suggested to have evolved from. So when you say "Life" I assume you are specifically referring to human life. Genesis tells us that God created Adam and Eve. It also says that they gave birth to 2 sons, Cain and Abel. Therefore, if you indeed believe every word in the new testament, you have to believe that incest is okay, because no other children they had are documented yet here we are today. Eve was only one female that God created. If they had more undocumented kids, which they must have under the circumstances, then a crucial part of the story was left out, but incest was still involved in order to populate the planet. I prefer to believe that I evolved from bacteria than from incestuous biblical characters, but that's just me. Many creatures in this world survive without any organs at all. They are called single cell organisms and it has been scientifically proven that they indeed have evolved over millions of years to create higher forms of life. If your religion requires you to follow every documented word blindly, then do so, but not if it means sacrificing common sense or intelligence in the process of believing what you have been programmed to believe.

Evolution is AFTER God created. God is smarter than you think or make God out to be. Evolution is HOW God made us. It is amazing. Learn more about evolution, really take the chance and learn about it. God is amazing. Just because we do not understand how God interconnected all life does not mean that God did not. God is the beginning and the end... yep made it all... if you look at how everything has evolved you would thank God for the many many things that people do and do not understand about GOD's creation. When God created man, there is no place, NONE AT ALL, that said that was a 24 hour period, there is no reason to think that our omnipotent God did not creat that first cell and it evolved to the people we are today. Perhaps God is still not done with us, and to assume that you know God's every plan is to push God away.

I can't answer that question specifically, but the difference between me and the non-evolutionists, is the evolutionist keeps trying to research it to understand it.
I don't stop and say God created me so I don't need to understand the evolution of lung or heart or eye,
If I put my faith in God and then science has the explanation for the evolution of the eye and lung and heart, what happens to my faith?
Faith in God for me must be seperate that of any religious text that has scientific explanations, unless every single word stands to scientific reasoning.
Such a book doesn't exist.

There are no believers in evolution. Only believers of evolution.
How did lungs evolve without blood? They didn't. Fish have blood. Lungs evolved after blood.

The answer is partially give by "Johan F"s link. It actually explains a lot more than just this one question. But heed Johan's advice. YOU MUST PRETEND, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY EVALUATE WHAT IT SAYS.
(On the other hand, how likely is that for a person who starts a question with a conclusion.)
PS In the spirit of another answer. If you want to play biology hardball with your "theories," stop grandstanding and post them in the appropriate science section. (Hmmmm, I wonder why you didn't do that in the first place? .... hmmmm)

Even the best of Scientists have not been able to fully explain evolution. Perhaps thats where God (Nature) came to be. And we tend to use the word God when we cannot explain or understand things in an earthly way

Evolution is a only a theory (or a working of idea of what might be) therefore there are still many holes in it. but, that is why science is always learning and studying new things. Science works one way, while religion goes another. I believe they compliment eachother with ethics and understanding.peace.

If you were honestly interested in an answer, you would have posted this question in Biology, not religion.
But you don't want to learn, you prefer to remain ignorant.
