Some verses to consider....

God clearly says that He created man and animals from dust (the dust of the earth). If He had used evolutioin, He certainly didn't indicate that.

Gen 2:7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

Gen 2:19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

Jesus taught that Adam and Eve were created. He even quotes the Scripture in Genesis, verifying that it is true.

Mat 19:3-5 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"

"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

Peter, which many see as the first pope, speaks of the Flood as a fact.

I Peter 3: 18-20 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water.

II Peter 2:5 ...if he did not spare the ancient world, but(L) preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

II Peter 3:5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.

Peter also speaks on the inspiration of Scripture.

II Peter 1:21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

In order for evolution to occur and the Flood to not be true, Scripture has to be declared a lie.

The issue most creationists have with the evolutionists is just that. And it then does raise the legitimate question about whether one can really be a Christian and not believe God's Word.

Ultimately, like I stated in my article that is the choice we as Christians have. Do we believe He is who He says He is. If He is the Creator of the universe then we cannot disbelieve His word, for if we disbelieve His Word we disbelieve in Him. He Is The Word.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.John 1:103
Who are we to say He is wrong? By doing so we question His power and authority, thus like I said we then would be on the cusp of committing blasphemy.

Ooops!, I am not sure how I did that, but it was supposed to have a quote from what you wrote like this.
