Hi maybe I am wrong but evolution is actually we all came from a ape. What kind of hope can we have in God if we see we are an evolved species. So God then did not create evolution nor did he create mutation of man. We took it upon our selves to do that.
There are many mysteries before us and little by little they are being revealed when we are ready to receive the answers. So our faith is not tested through evolution but it is tested by what is happening around us, death in the family,our jobs,schools we go to.Decision making these can challenge our faith and we need to stand in God's Word to be strong even when it contradicts what we have been taught.

I think that you need to be more clear in your query, I will attempt to answer the first part of the question since it is all that is clear.
God, in my opinion did cause evolution, the bible states that "a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day" this is not literal it simply means that God is an infinite being thus cannot be put into human time constraints. Therefore, the 6 days in which everything was created could very well be 60 billion years. Evolution is scientific fact and to deny it is to deny one of God's greatest miracles.

God did not create us to evolve that started with Darwin, who renounced that. Let me ask you a question. OK I am a fish and I decide i want to evolve into something else, so i just come up out of the water and decide to lay there for thousands of years with no food, water or even breath, and then i decide well i need lungs to breath, while I'm at it i will grow legs to walk around, might as well while I'm at it grow some arms so i can grab things. I don't believe in evolution because there is billions of missing links, and it makes no since to me. The first and second law of Therodynamics contradicts each other any way, showing a flaw in that thought...

Not at all...People do not understand, but the theory of evolution is not anti-faith, at all. Even SOME of Darwin's theories about animals adapting is not against the Book.
Read Scriptures:
Gen 1:11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, ACCORDING TO THEIR VARIOUS KINDS.” And it was so.
Gen 1:12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according TO THEIR KINDS and trees bearing fruit with seed in it ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS. And God saw that it was good.
and...
Gen 1:24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, EACH ACCORDING TO ITS KIND.” And it was so.
Gen 1:25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
So, evolution is not anti-faith, anti-religious. But the belief that a single-celled animal, the amoeba, which defies the Law of the Survival of the Fittest because it still exists and that reproduces through cellular division would evolve into the homo sapien species, or that reptiles would become mammals is asking one to extend the imagination as much as anything else...
Besides it leaves several questions still unanswered:
1) Suppose the amoeba did somehow evolve with the countless DNA changes that would be required to evolve into reptilia them into mammalia then into man--HOW DID THE FIRST AMOEBA GET THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE? Where did it come from? Same with the Big Bang theory--suppose things did collide, where did they come from in the first place to collide?
2) Why is it that when it comes to plant life, which also has environmental issues, and needs for adaptation, but cannot move--the same type of situation occurs as in the animal kingdom--out of nowhere, these plants existed before mankind, they are different according to their climate, they are able to fluorish according to where they are except, for the most part, if other forces---primarily man and nature--interfere...The same diversity exists among flora as they do among fauna.
3) But, as I said before--Amoeba still exist--and in some cases, thrive...so do other creatures with lew cells.
I do believe that man has developed---the way we walk, our thinking capacity, other issues--show that we have evolved if evolution in this case means develop slowly over time to adapt. We have seen proof that man has evolved, as have other animals...
but man was created with the ability to think, to make choices, that other animals did not have...and that does beg questions that Darwin's theory truly did not answer. Darwin's theory remains just that, so there truly is no reason to not have Creationism as a theory...Because if you can believe we came from the amoeba, there is no reason I cannot believe we came from G-D--the difference is only 1 cell.

The Creator didn't stop creating on the 7th Day. Just took a break. Creation is a continuing process. Evolving, or evolution.

Do you think God made it appear that the earth was the center of the universe to those living a thousand years ago to test their faith, or was it just that man didn't actually have things figured out like he thought?

If he did for that purpose, it would be stupid if you thought that not believing evolution would save your faith, because if God did it, it would be part of his creation.

No, I can't say that I believe some deity created the earth and all organisms a certain way, only to go completely out of his way to make it look like he didn't, and for the purpose of seeing who he could trick.
Can't said that I'd want to worship somebody who was deceiving like that, either.

God created evolution to populate the planet.

No, humans created God in an attempt to explain the universe. We've moved on since then (well, some of us.)
