How can you justify such Naturalistic thinking, since this is the very thinking that produces sciences such as evolution?

Hmm...I think I'm going to star this question. It should be interesting to see the answers.
Is the Bible the same every day? Yes and no. Yes, the printed words are the same, but the meaning I take from them and even the parts I choose to read will change day by day based on what my immediate needs, desires, and emotions are.
Your second part confuses me a bit. Aren't sciences, such as evolution, about changes? I always thought the nature of Nature was entropy. That is, by definition, change. If something is stagnant (non-changing), then it cannot "evolve." Or, at least, that's my understanding.
Very interesting what happens when you subject scientific inquiry to philosophical debate, isn't it? It should be interesting to see what other answers you get.

Your question makes no sense. Evolution is a very slow process and is not going to happen to an inert inanimate object. Yes the language evolves over time and a bible may change its wording as a new version is printed, but an object will not change drastically on its own.
I suppose if you want to nitpick you could say that yes the document changes because it fades with light slightly and it may have more or less dust and the fibers that make up the pages may be looser, but on the whole you seem very confused about what you are talking about.

Evolution is not a science, it is a theory and a cannot be proven.
As for The Word, God speaks to true believes through it. When one has his/her quiet time in the morning, which includes reading, prayer, and meditation focused towards communicating with The Father, The Holy Spirit will lead us to what we need to know by guiding us to various passages within The Bible. These passages are relevant to many of lives issues and (believe it or not) give us strength, guidance, understanding, patience to endure, compassion, and so much more that once a Child of God gets into it, they can't imagine ever being without it again.

it's always new, each time i open it. as my mind and heart unfolds, more things are revealed to me.
i justify this because it is the way we all grow. what i knew as a child is very small compared to what i know now. when i was 2, i didn't understand things like driving a car or balancing a checkbook. when i was 16, i knew how to drive a car, but didn't have much sense when it came to how i drove the car. i also knew how to balance a checkbook, but often didn't care to...
we grow and are transformed daily if we can keep an open mind. when i read my bible - each day it's a new conversation with God. what i know today is added on to what i knew yesterday...

when you open the bible and just scam through pages your not gonna understand anything and think its probably bouring but when you actually take the time to read it a verse or a chapter you'll always find something new,, the cool thing about the bible is that every chapter is different talks about differents things and u can always find advice on anything, the bible talks about from the Very begganing to the Very end,, so to me God wouldnt write something that would make you feel that its always gonna be the same when you open it. and its not. try it read a chapter and you'll see,.

No. Atheists came up with evolution. And guessed times in. Modern scientist are trying to be more specific, but keep changing their length of times/dates.
As the thought ever accrued to you, that since GOD created the whole earth and all beyond it that God could also put these older looking things to the earth that scientists are claiming; to see if they would believe themselves or God?

I believe that the words stay the same. As a person grows in spiritual knowledge they will see and learn new things each time they study.

I believe the Bible never changes, but each time you read the same chapter, verse, etc..., you might get something different out of it.

Yes, it's the same. It's me that changes according to God's will. I know more about God when I look deeper into it.
