Holding off on asserting it as true or false, the thing about evolution is that applying it to humans refutes the special creation of humankind.No, it really doesnt. First of all evolution is a moving target that locked in on modern man
IOW, even if God did use evolution for plants/animals, once you apply evolution to make the jump from non-human to human you assert that mankind is not made in God's image and that leads to bad things.
What does that even mean?
second of all (from my personal point of view) I wonder how much of that Image has to do with the passage of time making it possible to be a child, adult, and spirit. God is all of these at once but He let us take baby steps.
Er, you do realize that ascribing to that view means that the successive steps means there's beings with less of an Image of God, and implies that there is/are people today with more (or less) of an Image of God than others. — It asserts the attribute Image of God
is a non-quantum/non-boolean (possibly non-discrete) value.
When you think of yourself through life stages, do you think of infinite children (for example), or is it more like, “oh yeah, I went camping there as a kid?”
