Some Christians think that God used evolution to create man. But Jesus said that every man will be raised to life and given an eternal body when he returns in his glory. So will we evolved a second time or how will we get this new body? Will our dead bodys turn into ooze and over millions of years reproduce us just as we are?
Revelations :
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

My question is this: Why if God can give us a body does every one think that God used evolution to create us. It doesn't make sense. Evolution denies the power of God to make us and relies on science instead to explain how we were made. The bible however states that God will raise us. No room for science to explain that...

He could just create for us a new body the way he created the first one!

When Jesus comes again, everyone will have a renewed body (no one knows exactly what that means/how it's going to happen, or else they would be God). The quotes you have are about when God judges those who have died. God has already created the world, when he wants it to end, well, I'm pretty sure we'll know about it! And as for evolution again, that would be reincarnation which Christians do NOT believe in! We believe our new, purified bodies will be suitable for heaven but as for a whole new world, God's the only one who can decide if he wants to make another one!

The Bible says that at His coming that the dead in Christ shall rise first and then we which are alive and remain (on this earth) shall be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. God doesn't need evolution. That is from the devil to mess up people's minds about creation.

God who is Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent is in need of nothing. Evolution is the unfolding of nature and the natural things He created. Yet, remember He has no need of what He created. Out of Love for us He reveals Himself and redeems us.
As far as evolution and the Second Coming of Christ....We do not know when, but we do know how. He will return again in full glory. We (no matter what stage of our human development may be) will be fulfilled in Him and evolution is canceled out for all of humanity will be fully developed or fulfilled as we ascend into His glory. So, have no worry about God. He is in full control. May the Lord bless and keep you. May the light of His face shine upon you.
God's and your beast of burden

If you read 1 Corinthians 15, you would know that the resurrection body, as far as Paul is concerned, is of a fundamentally different sort than our present bodies. But feel free to continue with your irrational selective literalism - just don't pretend you are being Biblical or are giving THE Christian perspective, because it gives Christians a bad name.

Never been any evolution forward anyway.., only evolving downward to the lowest common form. NO evidence, ONLY theory anyway.
One life..., Adam was a man with plenty of sense and plenty of ability.., more than us..., He LITERALLY walked with God and named everything God created. He certainly wasn't a caveman. Mankind is LESS smart and even with that, we get one life and then the judgment and if we follow Jesus, we get a NEW body..., don't you think it's like the one HE resurrected in? Like he was NOT unable to walk through walls. WoW!
The "new Earth" will accommodate us very well with our new bodies!
That is when we will be wearing IMMORTALITY!

Your argument is nonsensical because you have to believe literally in the bible to contradict evolution. It becomes a circle argument.
A full blown follower of communism can very well use the writing of Karl Marx to contradict religion: "But Marx says..."
Try arguing against evolution without the bible.

My first thought is evolution is really used on earth, to help man and animals, and plants as well, change and adapt according to their environment and what they need to live.
Our bodies in Heaven will be perfect and we won't need to learn to adapt to new foods, temperatures, or situations.
