Consider the following. 1. God created by establishing the law of evolution. (Theistic evolution) 2. God has revealed himself to his people through the Holy Bible. (Surely the Lord God will do nothing unless He reveals it to His servants the prophets.) 3. God clearly discusses origins of life and of species in the Bible. 4. Therefore, God has placed clear indicators of His law of evolution in the Holy Bible. Unfortunately, #4 is not true. It is not there. Even though the subject is discussed, there is no revelation of the Law of Evolution in the Holy Bible. It makes me suspicious of theistic evolution.

The Bible talks about the sun rising and setting, but never mentions that the earth revolves around the sun. It talks about God creating the land and sea, but never mentions plate techtonics. It speaks of matter, without discussing atomic theory. It talks about people getting sick, but never mentions the germ theory of disease.

Do you think maybe the Bible had a purpose other than a science book?

You did not consider point #3 in your above comment.

God doesn’t enter into a discussion on geology in the bible at all that I know of, nor one of meteorology, or of astronomy.

He does on origins of life and species. Origins was a subject clearly addressed. In fact, one book is called “genesis.”
