Your thoughts and your bible verses...Don't take this wrongly...It is just a challenge to see how many Christians may answer differently from one another.......
Why do Christian's truly not believe in evolution? Couldn't God have been the creater of Evolution? Are there bible verses that prove evolution is false?
Just a cquestion my friends nothing more My belief is the creator is just that, the creator.

The wages of sin is death. Death came into the world when Adam and Eve sinned. God killed an animal (shed blood) to cover their sin (nakedness). Until they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they did not know they were naked, but when they ate their eyes were opened. Two sets of eyes here. Eyes to their soul was opened. Before the eating of the fruit there was no death. And their sin brought death into the world. God commanded Adam, "thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Genesis 2:17
God had already created the angels because Satan was the serpent in the Garden as the Bible explains, but death came at the point when man sinned against God. No where in the Bible have I read that God's angels or the fallen angels or the demons die. They go into pits or they are chained, etc. They have lived a long time.
Before creation there was no death. So dinosaurs lived with man and not millions and billions of years before man. Fossils, my friend, are dead things. To me, only Noah's flood explains fossils because "death" came in the Garden of Eden. Remember, that Tree of Life was in that Garden and God ushered Adam and Eve out before they ate of it and lived forever as sinners. God let them live almost a thousand years before the flood anyway.
I take God at His Word and I trust the Lord and not man. I'll be honest with you, millions and billions of years makes me sick to my stomach when I hear it for the lie that it is.
If you've ever studied the Bible with the Holy Spirit as your teacher, you can't believe evolution. Do you know what "faith" is . . . "taking God at His Word."
Have a blessed day, my friend.

Hi Angelica =]
I am not that sure. However, many Christians do believe in evolution...
The problem with evolution is that there has never been any conclusive evidence linking primordial animal life with present day animal/human life
Plus, if evolution were a fact then how are we still finding animals that have supposedly been extinct for over 5million years? Shouldn't they have evolved into another animal by now?
Every Christian has a different mind, and a different way of thinking.
Some feel that the Big Bang Theory and the Theory of Evolution discredit their entire belief system. Because they believe God created everything, and made everything holy.
I hope that helped a little, Angelica
Much Love

Wellll......I'm not a Christian, but I'd say that it's because evolution contradicts a literal interpretation of Genesis. Unless you believe that Adam and Eve evolved, and that God created everything after its kind through evolution. That would contradict a literal reading of Genesis by almost any stretch of the imagination.
There is also a lot of ignorance about evolution. Some of it is a result of faulty schooling (which may be partly deliberate) and some of it is intentionally spread misinformation by creationists.
Some of the answers here illustrate that:
tom4bucs:"Why do we still have monkeys?" We didn't evolve from monkeys. We share a common ancestor with monkeys. They have evolved just as we have, just in a different direction.
Jason R:"Scientists treat evolution as their God" Well, actually no. No one prays to evolution, or worships it. It's just a scientific explanation, like Newton's laws. "It's a theory, not a fact." The word "theory" is used differently in science. Evolution is both a theory and a fact. Oh, and believe me, evolution has stood up to the burden of proof quite well, which is more than I can say for your "book". Withstanding criticism just means that its adherents are too dense to see reason.
damarcus:"DNA cannot change." Ever heard of mutation? "Evolution is about random chance." Natural selection is the exact OPPOSITE of chance and randomness.
Olivia:"Darwin renounced evolution before he died." Actually, that's a myth that's been discounted by the Darwin family, and it isn't relevant anyway. It's the evidence that matters, not Darwin's alleged deathbed conversion.

Christians don't believe in evolution because the Bible says that God created man. Since Christians belief that the Bible is the flawless Word of God, you're not going to be able to convince them that an unproven scientific theory pre-empts the Bible.
I know a lot of scientists treat evolution as their God, and that evolution is taught as though it is a fact. Even if you believe in it, it is a theory, and not a fact.
Also, if scientists believe that we should disregard the one book that has withstood thousands of years of literary and historical criticism (the Bible) and adopt evolution as a proven fact, then lets put the burden of proving evolution is true ON THEM and not the other way around.

Well , I am a Christian and we do not believe in evolution because matter was never always around and we do not come from animals . In the book of Jeremiah it says God knows us before we were created in are mother's womb this is amazing. Praise God. In Genesis 1:1 It said in the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. God was always around even before the world existed . Evolution is just a myth .. Charles Darwin started the Evolution and besides a couple of weeks before he died he said evolution was not true. There is only one God.

Christians do not believe in evolution because DNA does not change species and there has never been a fossil found in transition from one species to another. Bottomline is this, you do not need a bible to know that a species DNA will never change. Gorillas have gorilla DNA, alligators have alligator DNA. It is impossible for DNA to jump species because it is design exclusively for that particular person only. All this fossils that have been discovered not one of them were found in the process of evolving. If earth is so old, we would have a found a fossil in transition from a monkey into a human. Creation has a purpose behind its existence and evolution is random. Everything created solves a problem: eyes for sight, ears for hearing, cars for traveling, planes for traveling faster, and stop lights to stop traffic. Random is just a matter of chance and luck like a lottery ticket.

I do believe in evolution. I just don't believe that it adequately describes how man came into existence.
To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing in the bible that says evolution is false. But, I guess that depends on interpretation.
This, for me, falls into the "when I get to heaven, I'll ask" category.

Evolution could have happened however, at one point in this chain, God infused an immortal soul in mankind that makes him higher than the animals and he also is in the image and likeness of God.
