(a chapter from the section, Foundations, of my book, Heaven on Earth)
God’s account of Creation is found in Genesis 1 in The Holy Bible. Charles Darwin wrote the Theory of Evolution in 1859 in a book called The Origin of Species.
I believe God. Yet Charles Darwin proposed his theory based on the process he called natural selection. In order for Charles Darwin’s theory to work, a male and a female of one species can mate and produce offspring of another species. If this happened today, both parents and children would find it pretty distressing and unpredictable, and children would not inherit the attributes and likeness of their parents. This observation is like a teapot pouring tea into a teacup without taking into account and acknowledging the involvement of the human hand. How did the tea get from the teapot into the teacup? The parallel to the theory of evolution would say that the teapot poured itself into the teacup. Charles Darwin proposed his theory without considering the possibility of God’s hand interjecting Creation into time and space. In fact, time and space is part of Creation.
Creation unfolded when God created sea animals first, then birds of the air, then land animals, then human beings. Creation took six days for God according to the Bible, and God lives outside of time and space in eternity. Based on archeological evidence alone, I can see how a scientist like Charles Darwin is able to derive a conclusion that land animals came from sea animals, and that humans came from land animals. The sequence of the archeological evidence (first fish bones, then bird bones, then land animals’ bones, then human bones) is compelling without considering the unseen hand of God guiding Creation into being and the mouth of God speaking Creation into being.
Based on the Hebrew Bible, Adam was 5000+ years old. God called Adam the first man. Adam was created with a relationship with God.
