How do you explain skeletal remains of prehistoric animals and man that clearly points to evolution?

When the Bible explained the creation, it never had time limits. It never said how long the first day and night were. I could have taken years for the first day to be done. And when it says God created in seven days, well, who knows how long that really was back in the day. The scientific calender was created by man. God made all things, animals and such. Let's not forget the flood that wiped out everything before, and this was not some 3-10 years ago. Sure it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, but how long was that back then. Enoch Lived 365 years. Do u know anyone that old these days? Back then who knows how long that was. Evolution has all things growing to what it is from something smaller. And I get that it happens with babies like that. Tiny egg, sperm, bigger, bigger bigger. But where did that tiny Lil thing start from? where did the Gases that collided come from? It is harder to think that something came from nothing Vs. Everything came from something BIGGER than everything.

Here are some things to think about:
Darwin acknowledged: “If numerous species . . . have really started into life at once, the fact would be fatal to the theory of evolution.” (The Origin of Species, New York, 1902, Part Two, p. 83) Does the evidence indicate that “numerous species” came into existence at the same time, or does it point to gradual development, as evolution holds?

Have sufficient fossils been found to draw a sound conclusion?

Smithsonian Institution scientist Porter Kier says: “There are a hundred million fossils, all catalogued and identified, in museums around the world.” (New Scientist, January 15, 1981, p. 129) A Guide to Earth History adds: “By the aid of fossils palaeontologists can now give us an excellent picture of the life of past ages.”—(New York, 1956), Richard Carrington, Mentor edition, p. 48.

What does the fossil record actually show?

The Bulletin of Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History pointed out: “Darwin’s theory of [evolution] has always been closely linked to evidence from fossils, and probably most people assume that fossils provide a very important part of the general argument that is made in favor of darwinian interpretations of the history of life. Unfortunately, this is not strictly true. . . . the geologic record did not then and still does not yield a finely graduated chain of slow and progressive evolution.”—January 1979, Vol. 50, No. 1, pp. 22, 23.

A View of Life states: “Beginning at the base of the Cambrian period and extending for about 10 million years, all the major groups of skeletonized invertebrates made their first appearance in the most spectacular rise in diversity ever recorded on our planet.”—(California, 1981), Salvador E. Luria, Stephen Jay Gould, Sam Singer, p. 649.

Paleontologist Alfred Romer wrote: “Below this [Cambrian period], there are vast thicknesses of sediments in which the progenitors of the Cambrian forms would be expected. But we do not find them; these older beds are almost barren of evidence of life, and the general picture could reasonably be said to be consistent with the idea of a special creation at the beginning of Cambrian times.”—Natural History, October 1959, p. 467.

Zoologist Harold Coffin states: “If progressive evolution from simple to complex is correct, the ancestors of these full-blown living creatures in the Cambrian should be found; but they have not been found and scientists admit there is little prospect of their ever being found. On the basis of the facts alone, on the basis of what is actually found in the earth, the theory of a sudden creative act in which the major forms of life were established fits best.”—Liberty, September/October 1975, p. 12.

Carl Sagan, in his book Cosmos, candidly acknowledged: “The fossil evidence could be consistent with the idea of a Great Designer.”—(New York, 1980), p. 29.

You want the real truth here it is, science did not prove evolution darwin only discovered some animals adapted (evolved) over time and he is the poster child for inbreeding since he married his cousin and 2 out of 5 children died.
What does dinosours have to do with evolution? its just proof that they lived on earth and have died off with all other life on earth thus bringing us to , How could the earth be re populated so fast after all life vanished.
Well the vatican is keeping a secret well many but one is how man was restored on earth god works in conjuction with aliens and they have been moving people on and off this planet for many thousands of years and still ubduct people til this day

I think it's perfectly logical that God created us WITH evolution. I mean, I don't believe in the garden of Eden as a real place as much as a concept. It makes sense, who was the garden focused at? People that lived in a desert! What could be more beautiful than a lush Garden? So something as complex as evolution (that could not be explained back then) was said to be a garden. I also believe that Adam and Eve being thrown out of the garden is symbolic of consciousness. The bible also said that God did much more than is put in the bible, so much that our brains could not comprehend it. Could not some of this be evolution? I believe that God is a God of science, if he wasn't he wouldn't have created it. One does not need to through away logic and science to believe in God or vice versa. I love both.

Actually there's absolutely NO REASON to think God didn't use evolution at all. It would make perfect sense, ie, making one species on one day and a "more complex" one for the next that could have evolved from the one before. The Bible never says anything to encourage or discourage this, and actually ITS NOT IMPORTANT. God created them all, even the bones found preserved, the animals that died and fossillized were His creation so its just not important if it evolved, which I BELIEVE IT DID. Why not? It makes perfect sense.

Science has not pr oven evolution. The concept is referred to as the "theory of evolution." Skeletal remains do not "clearly point to evolution."
There are so many holes in the theory, it would not be possible to list them all.
For example, if man evolved from apes, why are there still apes? If Neanderthals evolved from earlier forms of primates, why are there no Neanderthals, but there are earlier forms of primates?
At most we have about 10,000 years of recorded history. In that time man has gotten healthier and has lived longer, but what are signs of evolution in man, during that time?
If evolution is the only valid theory, who started it, when did it start, how did it start, why did it start, why did it continue?
Even Darwin, himself, lost interest in his theory.

There is no scientific evidence and even scientists will say that the theory of evolution has not been proven. Therefore its still called a theory. Thats like saying that there is such a thing a a gay gene. BLahahahhahahahaha.

So how do you explain the amazingly well thought out process of pregancy? Or our digestive system. Or automated eyeblinks, tastebuds on the tongue, automated breathing?

Honestly, when I first found out about evolution and fossils, I found myself more overcome with awe for the Creator than I ever was in church! To me, it seems like something that a being infinitely more patient, creative, and intelligent than any human I've ever met might come up with. Artists go through "periods"--think of Picasso with his "blue period" or Matisse's cut-outs or Sinead O'Connor's reggae and big band CDs. Why can't a God, the ultimate artist, do the same thing?

Well, the idea of being put here by God and the fact of evolution don't necessarily have to contradict one another. This is a highly philosophical question and in my humble opinion God and evolution go hand in hand.

The answer may be that God works through evolution. God is the Creator, and his work is (therefore) Creation. Evolution, and associated processes, work inside Creation, modifying living creation. This is not a precise argument (it doesn't work well concerning the problem of evil), but I think it illustrates.
