Any possibilities? There's so much evidence for evolution. The evolution of animals seems to fit in with religion. God may have created these animals and they must have evolved. But what about humans? God created humans in human form. Can anyone help?

Absolutely. The Hebrew word used for day in the first chapter of Genesis can be translated to mean a finite period of time. Not necessarily a day. God could have taken millions of years to create fish or to create man and he could have used whatever method He chose. The point is not when or how living things came to be what matters is that it was controlled by God.

There are 5 types of evolution, 4 of them are only theories, the 5th one is called micro-evolution which shows how one kind of animal (like a dog) can produce a new breed of dog.
But they always produce the same kind, not a new kind of animal or plant (it should be called diversification and not micro-evolution).
There is much evidence against evolution also.
For one, evolution says that man came millions of years after the dinosaurs, but there are several places around the world where there are human and dinosaur footprints in the same rock (Glenn Rose Texas is the best example). The Bible tells us that man and dinosaurs lived together (they are called dragons in the Bible because the word dinosaur was not made until 1884).
Also woolly mammoths have been found with the contents of their stomachs undigested. Even at -100F a mammoth would not freeze fast enough to keep the stomach from digesting the food in it, in fact the stomach would have time to start to rot. But the Bible tells us that there was an (Ice) water canopy over our atmosphere (God separated the water beneath from the water above). At the time of the flood this canopy collapsed, and at -300F it would freeze the mammoths fast enough. By the way, ice at -300F has a magnetic property, that is why it collected around the magnetic poles of the earth and not its axis, and that is the pattern that is left from the "ice age".

No, they can not fit together. There is too much evidence of human evolution as well, with over 18 human ancestors identified from fossil remains, and the molecular link of humans to the other primates.
The order of appearance of the various life forms in the Quran and Bible are all wrong, and neither account mentions the development of life from simpler forms.

the main suitable argument a staunch Christian ever gave me and it made my merely medical strategies supply up and think of, woah! "something had to reason the super Bang, that something grow to be God." So, Genesis is in user-friendly terms a poetic version of the super Bang and Evolution might nicely be defined by God's plan. or you ought to continually bypass with family individuals guy's version of events and God farted out the universe....

Theists have been "re interpreting" their various holy books almost from inception, trying desperately to keep up with the changing times and the facts of life and reality.
When something is so vague and contradictory, is is relatively easy to alter it enough to make it fit whatever theory you wish it to.

Actually "creation" as in Genesis is Hebrew, with Babylonian origins. and no, there is no common ground between science and myths on this issue.

No, they cannot fit together. Those who try to make it fit together only do so by grossly twisting the words of their holy book.

Never in 6000 years can they co-exist (sarcastic hyperbole)
Evolution is man's excuse to deny God......period.
It's either one or the other but it CANNOT be both.
