Did God Use Evolution to Create the Different Types of Life?

No. The Bible clearly stated that God created humans as well as different “kinds” of animal and plant life. (Genesis 1:12, 21, 25, 27; Revelation 4:11)

It says that the entire human family descended from Adam and Eve, our first parents. (Genesis 3:20; 4:1)

The Bible account does not support the theory that God used evolution to bring about the different kinds of life, sometimes called theistic evolution.

The fact is, though, that nothing in the Bible conflicts with scientific observations that variations occur within each kind of life.


Did God use evolution?

The term “theistic evolution” refers to a broad variety of ideas. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, the term promotes the idea that “natural selection is one of the mechanisms with which God directs the natural world.”

Theistic evolution can also include the following ideas:

All living organisms descended from common ancestors in the distant past.

One kind of life-form can evolve into a completely different kind of life-form, a concept that is sometimes referred to as macroevolution.

God is somehow ultimately responsible for these processes.

Is evolution compatible with the Bible?

Theistic evolution implies that the Bible’s account of creation in Genesis is not completely accurate.

However, Jesus referred to the Genesis account as historical fact. (Genesis 1:26, 27; 2:18-24; Matthew 19:4-6)

The Bible says that before coming to earth, Jesus lived in heaven with God and was involved in helping God to bring “all things” into existence. (John 1:3) Therefore, the idea that God used evolution to bring about different life-forms is incompatible with Bible teachings.

What about the ability of plants and animals to adapt?

The Bible does not explain how much variation can occur within a kind. Neither does it contradict the fact that the different kinds of animals and plants created by God can vary as they breed or adapt to new environments. Although some view such adaptations as a form of evolution, no new kind of life is produced.

The Bible uses the word “kind,” which is much broader in meaning than the word “species” as used by scientists. Often, what scientists choose to call the evolution of a new species is simply a matter of variation within a kind, as the word is used in the Genesis account.

God created the world, life, etc. with his WORD.


Case closed.

So according to this creation are dogs descended from wolves or they were created separately?

Why not though? Why do you think a universe 13billion years old means your god is weak?

LordReed:


Why not though? Why do you think a universe 13billion years old means your god is weak?

your question is not clear,

Ever8090:
your question is not clear,

You said: "you can't use time factor to access his abilities" so I am asking if you think the fact that the universe is at least 13 billion years old makes it seem like we are saying you your god is weak. Does that length of time interfere with the way you think of your god's capabilities?

the universe is 13 billion years😁..that is a theory not a fact, secondly, no length of time can interfere with the way I think about my God,." He is the " I AM THAT I AM", your little knowledge can not make you know nothing about him except his given knowledge trough the holy spirit,..

You can deploy all technics of learning, discovere all your claims which still only pass for " academic relevance".

Your educational knowledge, trough since will draw you closer to the knowledge of his existence and powers, but you foolishness through deceit by the Evil one will make you ignore it and focus on your foolishness.

The things of the spirit are foolish to the mi d of the flesh..

Not sure why you getting flustered over a simple question but OK.

Meanwhile I know you don't really understand what a theory means in scientific terms but be rest assured the universe being at least 13billion years old is fact as evidenced by the speed of light and the gravitational forces of celestial bodies.

If no length of time would change how you think about your god then why does it matter what the age of the universe is?

Who cares?

But evidently our favorite bingo looks different from wolves as gorrillas are different from baboons. And none evolved from each other and they dont need to.
