i don't see why Christians cant believe in both evolution and Creation is it not posable that god created the first living things and then slowly changed them over time

Peace!
I agree with you. In fact, that is the position of the Catholic Church regarding evolution. That God may have used that process to create life forms on earth.
Have a nice day

First off evolution is still a theory. Nothing is proven. Man evolving from a monkey would be considered macro evolution. Which is still hard to prove. But man from a single cell organism is riduculous. This is micro evolution. Ask any real scientist about all the missing links of transitional life forms. there are so many that if you don't believe in a God you might as well believe that aliens did it. Even then who made the aliens?

Because evolution never existed in the first place. God is the Creator of all things - they didn't 'evolve' as scientists claim. Scientists cannot and will not prove evolution because there is no such thing. If evolution were true, then what did trees evolve from? What did fish evolve from? Why isn't anything today evolving into something else? Why are humans still humans and not some other 'life form', huh? Can scientists answer those questions? Of course not - they can't - because evolution didn't exist - never did! God is the one and only Creator of all things. The bible is true from front to back - evolution is just a stupid theory created in the weak minds of humans - NOT truth, but a deception created by scientists to deviate people away from the REAL truth of how we came about.

The fundamentalists simply don't understand it. They think it means a chimpanzee might spontaneously metamorphose into a human, or a dog might give birth to a rhinoceros. They think we should see speciation in our lifetimes. When they believe the world is only 6000 years old, it's hard for them to understand something that takes millions of years and tens of thousands of generations to occur.

Nothing. Official Catholic Church teaching is that these two ideas are not contradictory. How the world was created does not change Who created it. Also, just for the sake of interest, it was a Catholic priest who first proposed the idea of the Big Bang. At first he was ridiculed by other scientists, but eventually this idea was accepted.

I'm agnostic and wondered the same thing sometimes. Imo,christians don't like the theory of evolution because they think it tries to disprove the existence of their god.

Most christians do. It's the ignorant fundies who have a problem with evolution. They would rather trust one book, written nearly 2000 years ago, with no basis on fact, than a mountain of overwhelming evidence.
