Did God use Evolution?

In order to answer this question, let's compare some basic points between the Evolution model and the Creation model:

Evolution Model

1. The stars evolved and light came from the stars.
2. Galaxies, solar systems, planets, stars, the sun, and the moon all evolved before any biological life began on planet Earth.
3. Earth started out extremely hot on the surface and was probably covered with molten rock.
4. Reptiles evolved first and then mllions of years later reptiles evolved into birds.
5. The enviroment caused different species to arise by means of genetic mutations.
6. Life evolved in water, then moved to land and eventually evolved into apes. These apes evolved into ape-like creatures who evolved into man.

Creation Model

1. God created the light first on day one, separating it from the darkness, and later attached the light to the stars. (Genesis 1: 3-5)
2. God made the land, plants, trees, etc. on day 3 and the sun, moon, etc. on day 4 (Gen. 1:9-19).
3. The Earth started as water. (Genesis 1:2,6,7).
4. Sea life and birds were created on day 5. Reptiles were created on day 6 (Gen. 1:20-25).
5. God created all plant and animal species, independently from one another, according to their kind (Genesis 1:11,12,21,24,25).
6. Man was created from the dust of the ground, in the image of God, and is given dominion over all creation (Genesis 1:26-30).

THE EVOLUTION MODEL AND THE CREATION MODEL ARE NOT COMPATIBLE AND CANNOT BE RECONCILED! THEY ARE COMPLETE OPPOSITES AND CANNOT BOTH BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME. ONLY ONE CAN BE RIGHT AND THE OTHER WRONG.

Further points to consider:

• Evolution requires billions of years. Each individual day of Creation can either be a) a 24 hour period or b) 1,000 years according to the Bible (Psalms 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8). Six thousand years is not enough time for evoltuion so why not call it a 24-hour period? Neither would work with evolution.
• Each day must be equal to each other. The phrase "evening and morning" and the word "day" is used consistantly for each day.
• Each case in the Old Testament where the phrase "evening and morning" is used it ALWAYS means a 24-hour day. Why would it be different here?
• There are many words in the Hebrew language to convey a long period of time. If God used evolution why did He use the word "yome" which specifically is a word that means "a day" or to "be hot" (like the heat of the day from sunrise to sunset)? He could have used any other word than a word that means day.
• The Ten Commandments given through Moses were written on tablets of stone on Mount Sinai. God wrote these with His very own finger (Exodus 31:18 ). Right in the middle God Himself wrote, "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day..." (Exodus 20:11 KJV). And then speaks this again to Moses (Exodus 31:12-17).
• Did God need the rotation of the Earth and its orbit in order to know how long a 24 hour day is? Didn't God know this before He created our solar system and fine tuned it, being Omnipotent and Omniscient?
• Man was created from the dust of the earth. This is scientifically observable in that man turns back into dust when he dies just as the LORD said (Genesis 3: 19). Man can not come from dust if life evolved in water and gradually walked up on land.
• Not one single example exists today that we can physically observe that shows mutations as being benificial to life. All mutations today are either neutral or detrimental to life.

OUR FINAL COMMENTS......

For any one to make the claim that God used evolution not only shows how ignorant they are of the Bible but also shows that they are ignorant about the Theory of Evolution. And, yes, this definitely includes the Roman Catholic Church! (A link to why the Roman Catholic Church is ignorant can be found HERE)

There's only two possiblities to how we got here; either Evolution or Creation. There cannot be a answer that tries to avoid taking a stand by believing both are right . Any answer in-between these two theories is a lazy and ignorant answer.

If you want to believe evolution, that's fine, but please make up your mind. Stop compromising the Word of God and take a stand for TRUTH .......or believe in Evolution and stop thinking that you even have a clue of what the Bible says.
