That is one silly argument for God and evolution.. if your thinking was true.. ..if because we are made in God’ image, we do not evolve because God does not evolve. We got big problems

God does not evolve because God is perfect..infinitely perfect.. there is no room for improvement.

So if your reasoning was true..man would be like God perfect without sin.. incapable of sin.. because we are in the image of God...

You make God that is infinite and perfection equals to the finite imperfect man based on we are created in his image?.....

You seen to miss the simple fact that God is not Created.. but we are created..

So no equally between us and God... we have room to grow and improve..or fail. It called evolving.

Not by Darwin and natural selection but by acts of God selection....

To be created in God image in to be created self aware as is God and not a blind animal or a dead inert thing.

But is does not makes us perfect in our self awareness like God is..

Because we are created and finite .we can never be not created and infinite as is God...

So ours is a journey of perpetual improvement needed for we shall remain imperfect in are relation to God and the reason that God' grace is required else we have no hope

We do not evolve, we have continually devolved.

Let me clarify....which I believe will address the remainder of your questions. We do not evolve in the sense of Darwin's evolution. When God created man, which means He was the Creator, we were created in the form we have today. We did not climb out of some primordial soup or evolve from an amoeba or any such nonsense.

God did create us with the capacity to reason, think, have emotions, and most importantly have a soul. None of which are found in the animal kingdom.

Initially Adam and Eve were without sin. However, we did have choice and sadly sin was chosen creating the need for God to make a way for us to have a restored relationship with Him

That has been realized through the death, burial and resurrection of Christ for those who believe in Him.

God's Word makes it clear He has always existed and will always exist.
