I am simply making the point that, for evangelical Christians, the Bible is numero uno, and God included Creation, not evolution, in the Bible. What is the reason for this, other than he wanted us to reflect upon it?

Actually God did include evolution in the Bible. We've just lost the reference in the translation from Hebrew to English.

Genesis 2:7:
Then God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The Hebrew translated as "formed" has its root in the term for a potter's work. A potter does not throw down his clay and have in instantly take the form he wants. He molds it through various intermediate forms, shaping it and reshaping it, until it reaches the shape he wants.

Therefore God, did not create man in an instant, but shaped and reshaped "the dust of the ground" until He had created man.

Which is a remarkably on-target analogy for evolution.

Um...this is quite a leap, don't you think? Shaped from dust vs. shaped from something living are two different things.....

Therefore God, did not create man in an instant

That's according to your mere mortal understanding - not according to The Almighty! Why is it man feels he knows more than His Creator?
