The introduction to Genesis and to the whole Bible ascribes everything to the living God, creating, making, acting, moving, and speaking. There is no room for evolution without a flat denial of Divine revelation. One must be true the other false. All of God’s works are good, great, wondrous, and perfect.
Man starts from nothing. He begins in helplessness, ignorance, and inexperience. All his works, therefore, proceed on the principle of evolution. This principle is only seen in human affairs: from the hut to the palace; from the canoe to the ocean liner; from the spade to the plowshare to machines. But the birds build their nests today as at the beginning. There is growth and development within man, but no passing, change, or evolution out from one into another.
For this theory or fallacy of evolution to be true there would be evident stages of evolution today. You would be able to find species in many stages of evolution in nature right now. For this theory or fallacy of evolution to be true there would be no God. And that’s exactly what evolutionists believe and are trying prove. The evolutionist bases his or her conclusions on human assumptions and reasoning, instead of on the documentary evidence of the manuscripts.

Dear Mr Mainworry,
If what you are saying is true, why don't all people on this planet look basically the same? Why do the Bushmen of the Kalahari not look like the inhabitants of China? Or the Australian Aboriginies not look like the Northern European people?
The truth is, evolution does exist, but that does not take away from creation either. Most of what is written in the Bible is still open to conjector, as much of it is more symbolic than literal. Remember it is stated that God made man in his image, but it does not state that man was made human at the time, I believe that we were just the most evolved species at the time.
You should be more happy about our similarities than our differences, don't bother yourself with philosophical differences of opinion.
I hope that gives you some food for thought, and please don't think of this as an attack on your beliefs. I was just trying to broaden your perspective.
I wish you well Mr Mainworry.

Personally, I agree that Christianity and Evolution do not coincide; nevertheless, evolution is making no claims about any god or your god. In fact, many Christians disagree with you and I in that point. For example the catholic church disagrees and believes both can live hand in hand.
Of course there is no "evolution of man" because none of it is happening in humans. If you understood evolution and its principles, you'd know why human evolution is no longer happening. However, there are hundreds of other species that are evolving. The Theory of Evolution DOES have "evident stages of Evolution today" as you like to describe it. Just because you are in denial and want to think your bible is infallible doesn't mean evolution is wrong or your bible is right.

I tire of these ceaseless arguments. The bible and the theory of evolution, much like the theory of a round earth, are completely compatible. Genesis is not a scientific account, it does not say how Adam's atoms were formed, merely that they were by the willl of God. The will of the Lord is supreme and his divine plan is a great mystery, but the means by which the universe he made operates are not so mysterious.
Understanding the means by which God has made us only serves to help us appreciate how very special we are, how wonderous that life is in all its forms. God operates through evolution, in the same way that the winds work their way to shape the rocks into more specific forms. By this method, he has brought about his creation, his perfection.
Whether scientists would also use the theory of evolution to try and disprove God is debatable, and irrelevant in either case. Science and religion are completely separate entities.

You said that if evolution is true, you would find species in many stages of evolution right now... The fact is that we do have species in many stages of evolution right now! You really do not know anything about evolution theory. Instead, you prefer to believe that all species that exist today, and all that have ever existed in the past, simply popped up from nothing because the bible say so. Open your mind, the thruth is not in an ancient scripture, brought by "miraculous" revelation.

Yes, your argument is poor. Especially against a "theory" proven by a heap of physical evidence. Evolution, maybe because of skepticism has much more proof behind it than the theory of gravity. You would know this if you actually did your homework. And this may blow your mind but a person who believes in evolution can also believe in god. Lets evolve a bit please.

the bottom line? evolutionist know that the theory of evolution undermines the foundation of Biblical thought, since the Bible leads off with a creation story which is not compatiable with macro evolution
it is unwise of Christians to uncritically accept macro evolution, which rests strongly on philosphical assumption contrarely to BIblical thought plus data, not merely data. It claims to be unbiased and objective while the prior assumptions it takes already discount God working in history from the getgo

Again, many religious people accept that evolution is a fact. Just because you and others like you are resistant to the idea does not make evolution a "fallacy." If you choose to believe what comforts you over what can be proven, that's fine with most of us. Your choice.

Now, do you mind if I call your attention to the idea that you are operating on the conviction that the Bible is the final authority on such subjects.
There are people who don't believe that.
If you wish to convince those people, you will have to argue without reference to the Bible, relying only upon verifiable fact.

Men are not separate from the natural Universe. You weren't beamed onto the planet by a supernatural force its just not a reasonable assumption.

The belief in creationism is purely theological. Evolution is historical. You cannot argue the two without committing to a circle argument or the creationist going down in flames.
