Except that there is no evidence for evolution. You go there after you reject God.

Yes, there’s the apparent remains of many animals and plants of different kinds no longer seen alive, but no evidence of change from one kind, let’s say, simpler and less functional, to another more complex or well-adapted kind. The absence of the latter in the fossil record at this point is fairly screaming: Darwin’s Theory of Evolution has zero evidentiary support (i.e., is wrong!).

That’s a very weird argument.

There’s as much evidence for evolution as there is for Creation.

The Bible explained the “what”. Science explains “how”.

What cracks me up, as a born again Christian, why anyone would think there’s a conflict between them.

It’s like saying, all medical and scientific observation over the last 300 years around the “evolution” from unfertilised egg and a sperm all the way to the arrival of a newborn baby is heresy.

Without it, claiming to be “pro life” as regards the unborn child would be a nonsense. Before we understood how it worked, maybe 80% of all pregnancies failed in the first trimester, the only way to save a premature baby had an 80% chance of killing the mother, and a fifth of all babies born live didn’t live long enough to walk. Infant and fetal mortality was an occupational hazard.

We can only be Pro Life because we understand the science. And the science is God’s Majesty. Read Psalm 139. AFTER you’ve figured that babies aren’t delivered fully formed by storks, or left under a gooseberry bush, and what sounded poetic suddenly becomes epic.

13 You formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mother’s womb.e

14 I praise you,
because I am wonderfully made;
wonderful are your works!
My very self you know.

15 My bones are not hidden from you,
When I was being made in secret,
fashioned in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw me unformed;
in your book all are written down;
my days were shaped, before one came to be.

The same happens when you have a comprehension of the scale of the cosmos.

He made the earth in a week by our measurement of time? Like a sandcastle? Meh. So what.

He made the UNIVERSE in what He thinks of as a week, and in human chronology that was 13 billion years. But it wasn’t a sandcastle, it was an ever expanding super sized quantum computer that He can direct. It self organises, rearranges, combines, divides, renews and destroys, ALL THE TIME. And He wrote the program.

Mind. Blown.

ERVs conclusively demonstrate that humans and chimps had a common ancestor that was neither human nor chimp.

Unless you’ve got a way to completely deny genetics as it’s been developed over the past 75 years.

There most certainly is evidence for evolution. Nothing for one species slowly becoming another, however.

I have no evidence that you breathe yet it’s a logical conclusion.

The Bible is utterly silent about gravity yet it exists anyway.

All that matters to me is that God created everything. How He did it is His business.
