Evolution and adaption are two entirely different things. Evolution involves multiple genetic mutations that produce a new species spontaneously. The odds of this occuring are ludicrous in the extreme. Ask any real GM scientist what he thinks of actual evolution if you want an eye opener. They just laugh. Its old debunked science. But people are prone to believing the world is flat.
Adaption, on the other hand, involves environmental encouragement to make existing genes dominant and recessive and occurs daily though its results are usually slow. Breeding progams for plants and animals exploit this constantly. You create new breeds and varieties by manipulating selection to alter the dominant and recessive traits. None are removed, added, or mutated (until recently w/artificial means and dubious success).
This begs the question of "where did it all come from?" So men must still consider an omnipotent source. Omnipotence means there can be only one and nothing occurs that it does not allow by choice. The fact that we can choose means that if an omnipotent being exists then we share in some small part his nature simply because we have choice.
At this point you get to start arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin if you like.

God did not make evolution, god made progression of the mind.
This fact was taken from a book called the fraud of evolution!
A computer was programmed in an attempt to arrive at the simple 26 letter alphabet. After 35,000,000,000,000 (35 trillion) attempts it has only arrived at 14 letters correctly. What are the odds that a simple single cell organism could evolve with the complexity of more than 60,000 proteins of 100 different configurations all in the correct places? Never in eternity. Time does not make impossible things possible.
There is no way that one cell can make two.
Think about that.
Cells don't mix to make two the split apart.
Every single animal has its own biological structure, not just DNA!
DNA is blood, not skin.
WE have five toes five fingers. EQUAL, we have five senses and five joints for each ligament.
Is that not made perfect rather then by chance.
You can say a ball fo light was but to the human race is balderdash!
If you believe in god i highly doubt that it is the right one!

That's a good question to have answered in final perfect unity with God, (heaven). But until we have that access we can take what we know from God's word and science.
Together those cause me to believe God created biology, and included away for biological organizms to adapt to environment. For me its not important to know what type of organizm lived at what time. sometimes I think instead of everything evolving from one cell, that maybe God had a limited small types of cells and living things, and then evolution took care of the rest. So when he created everything, he created the basic building blocks, mammals 10 or 12 , fish 10 or 12, birds 10 or 12. etc.
God doesn't really need tools, instead I think he is creative and permits variety so that we will interact with him in a more worshipful manner.

Absolutely not! Evolution is contrary to biblical teaching. Let me explain, Evolution theorizes that the universe occurred accidently via an explosion of some grapefruit sized matter. From there chance and random processes over several billion years brought order out of chaos. Once the earh was capable of sustaining life, living things developed again through chance and random processes. Through many millenia of death and destruction man appeared on the scene. However, the Bible teaches that death didn't preceed Adam, death came as a result of Adam's sin. This is why Jesus came to die, to redeem man from his sin and reconcile him to God. But if death preceeded Adam , then Jesus didn't die for Adam's sin, because death was already in the world. Romans 5:12 states, "for by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin, so death passed upon all men, because all have sinned." God would not use something so destructive and wasteful as evolution. Besides, evolution in its most fundamental expression is ATHEISTIC. Just ask, Isaac Asimov, Stephen J. Gould, G. Gaylord Simpson, Thomas Huxley(Darwin's Bulldog) or Carl Sagan, they were all self proclaimed atheists. Unfortunately they are deceased, but read their works.

To teach us based upon studying and deducing that everything is based upon evolution, we can understand that the Source of Everything (That people call God/Allah, etc) indicates to us that we were meant to evolve as well.
As we have already to this degree evolved physically the only thing left to evolve, of course is our consciousness.
One can 'see' the process of De-evolution very easily as when a person is reduced to barbaric acts. We can see evolution of consciousness when we read about the prophets, Christ, Buddha, Confucius, Gandhi, etc etc. We see a spectrum levels of consciousness between these extremes.
Religion is an indication, as is philosophy of the knowledge that ascension of awareness is a device between both isms.
I believe we were put here to not only evolve, but to realize that all 'this' is an illusion and only so many atoms expressing energy. Thought is energy, energy is matter and matter cannot be destroyed.
Actually the Matrix was not far off. We are 'unconscious' to the reality that none of this is real and that we are all part of the same energy, just as lamps run off electricity we run off of consciousness. When we can realize this we can awaken simultaneously and do a mass convergence off this rickety but delightful old world and see what 'else' is in store for us.

i imagine your question makes more effective experience in case you get rid of old recommendations of God from the equation. If God is in trouble-free terms the activating concept of existence, then evolution is the technique by using which it truly is perfected. even as looking on the topic matters in evolution: "Human backbones, however equivalent to those of animals that walk on 4 legs, are vertical, ensuing in herniated discs and different issues" i do not see a performed product yet quite an ungoing procedure finest in route of more effective and better stages of evolvement. In different words, in case you get rid of tribal supersitions and seem for God on a more effective element of being.. you get a experience of a a lot more effective plan at artwork.

I don't mean to answer your question with another question, but as anything doing with God been easily explained. I think he did, he has got to throw us humans off the correct path a couple of times.

everyone will answer this question based on their personal beliefs, thats why I, being an agnostic, say that this is a question that simply cannot be answered, and I would prefer not to assume.

Who is this God you speak of? May I shake his hand? Where does he live? OH, wait, you mean he isn't real? Such a pitty. I guess I'll have to live my own life believing in myself.
