If God is God, He doesn't need evolution.

God doesn't need gravity to move the earth around the sun or the moon around the earth, but He does use gravity to do just that. (I believe that, BTW, even though gravity isn't in the Bible.) Just as He did use evolution to bring forth you and I from the "dust" of pre-existing living things and raise us to a level where we can worship Him.

Yeah, except that evolution contradicts His word. He "formed Man from His own image", and gave man special authority and dominion over the rest of creation. So Evolution contradicts the basic "special" and "Godlike" attributes of man - -a soul, a conscience, a spirit and a capacity for prayer, moral choice, and -- in a post Pentecost world -- the capacity to "do the miracles Jesus Himself did". Animals don't have this capacity and unless there is some evolution of the spirit that the Bible has complete ignored, Evolution contradicts the Bible. The Bible does say that we are not mere animals or "brute beasts" enslaved to our appetites and instincts. And since God doesn't contradict Himself as He is the Word Made Flesh. (And He said "My words will never pass away, though heaven and earth shall pass away!)

As for gravity, still an unexplained and inexplicable phenomena for even Einstein, God says that He "holds the heavens in place".

Can't argue with that. But I would like to see some Christian scientist work out a formula for it -- past what Einstein said that "the more he studies the universe, the more he is convinced there is a God".
