Evolution is fine for those who believe only in science. But a christian who believes that the grace of God brought forth life on this earth seems like a bit of a bigot when he embraces the man made concept that science cooked up for our existence, don't you think?
The bible talks nothing about an evolutionary chain of events, it does however say that God made a man then he made a woman, and fossils...if you choose to use them, point to only a perfect species existing. Not half breeds.
IF evolution did exist then why did God command Adam to multiply and replenish the earth since man obviously had been doing that from the start through evolution?
IF evolution did exist, then why didn't some of the other forms gain the same intelligence that WE possess?
Are we aliens to this planet?
Why did not ONE SINGLE other species gain intelligence besides US
BECAUSE....
God put us here to rule over this earth and subdue it. We are NOT here by chance.

Only one problem with your theory. Your reference is the bible. A work of fiction. Wanna try again?

I do not think the existence of God, and Evolution, are mutually exclusive. The Bible was written to explain complex ideas to the people of the time, simple people by todays standards. It was written to get a very important message across. If it tried to introduce complex, scientific ideas at the same time, the message would have been lost. I don't think it was meant to be a text book for all things and forever.
Anyway, anybody with any reading knows Humans are third, after dolphins, on the intelligence scale. =42 ; )

actually.. we are not the only intelligent species ..
a few types of birds in the amazon and in africa are just as equally intelligent.. if not more then us. and a few types of dolphins as well. We humans have classified intelligence with what we have accomplished and built ourselves. There is no universally agreed definition of intelligence. but a commonly used definition is the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.
If one had never studies these animales.. then they would never know. Did you know that some types of birds, dolphins and monkeys have Cetacean intelligence ? and abstract ability ? meaning.. they think about thinking... just like us.
have you ever had or knew someone with a pet parrot ? They are amazing.. its like caring for a 2 year old child! They live to be between 60 -80years .. through out their life they are capable of memorizing 5000 words (or sounds).. and actually understand the meaning of half of them !
good luck

What looks like evolution is simply an order that signifies the net relations of infinity where being was separated from non-being in the event that an original being called potential into existence, we call that being God, and to us evolution is room to be in a corrollary to life eternal.

We don't need to know how God created everything, the important thing is that we believe that He did. Personally I believe that when God created all forms of life on earth He created them exactly the way that He intended them to be. There is no proof that ANY specs has ever changed into something else. When God said "It is good", and "it is finished" He meant just that.

I think you have flawed premises in your argument.
Why did not ONE SINGLE other species gain intelligence besides US?
I would say we are not the only intelligent species, but we are the ones who defined what we consider to be intelligent based on what we are. That's like wearing brown pants everyday when you go to work and then saying only people wearing brown pants work. You've limited yourself based on your experience.

I believe you just answered your own question.
Evolution is completely anti-Bible and anti-God (you ever notice how evolution-supporting scientists are atheists and agnostics). It is an alternative for those who do not want to acknowledge God in any way, especially if it would mean that they are answerable to God in everything because He created them. Therefore, evolution is not necessary to have faith and is actually a hindrance to anyone from realizing the awesome might and power and mercy of God.

Intelligence runs a spectrum. Chimps and dolphins are comparable to humans. It is only pure vanity that drives people to ignore the facts and pretend they are special and apart. Evolution has been demonstrated. Lying to defend the Bible is not the path to salvation.

I agree,the Atheists rail and rant against God and what else is this Godless theory of evolution for, if not as a stick to beat God with!
How many scientists actually come on here to spout this gibberish? no it is only the poor lost cretins with nothing else to ramble on about.

No evolution is most definitely not a prerequisite to a Christians salvation..I am trying to understand why you would ask such a thing..Christians know it isn't so what is the point of this?
