What Does The Bible Say About Evolution?

First, from a scientific point of view, evolution is a theory, not a proven or accepted fact.
Second, evolution is the theory that:
Billions of years ago some water molecules; some carbon dioxide molecules; some nitrate molecules; some phosphorus, calcium, and iron salts; and some miscellaneous other minor elements got together and spontaneously formed a molecule which was capable of reproducing itself, AND
These molecules were able to form living reproducing cells, AND
These living cells eventually evolved into higher and higher forms of life all by random chance without outside direction or purpose!
Believe that? Well then, consider this. You are doing some archeological digging in an ancient cave and as you split open a piece of promising rock you find a digital wristwatch. Would you believe that the scientific explanation for this would be that sometime in the past some silicon, carbon, hydrogen, arsenic, phosphorus, aluminum, and iron atoms got together and formed a digital watch?
Or, would you believe that someone made the watch and put it there?
The probability of the digital watch occurring randomly is billions of times bigger than the probability of even simple life occurring accidentally. How many watches have you found lately?
There are only two choices. You can believe that man came to exist by some random accident, or you can believe that man was created, the product of intelligent design.The Bible says that God created all living things purposely. It was not due to random chance, but it was deliberate and premeditated. Whether you believe that God did his creation in six, literal, twenty-four hour days, or whether you believe He did it in six ages is not the issue here. The issue is that the Bible says that things didn't come into being by chance, they came into being at the will and act of an Almighty Creator.
Now what does science itself say about evolution? Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, said that his theory would succeed or fail depending on the fossil record. Darwin believed that although there was no fossil evidence in his time to support his conjecture, there would be someday. He thought that future generations would find this very evidence upon which he speculated. Now, well over a hundred years later, with museums filled with thousands upon thousands of fossils, we still haven’t found the evidence that Darwin needed for his theory. What are we missing in the fossil record? We are missing the transition species. See, if one specie gradually evolved from another there should be fossils of the intermediate steps, in fact, lots of them. BUT, we have never found a single one, not one! We do not have a single fossil of any species evolving to another species. But what about man? Don’t we have specimens that show man evolved from an ape? No. We have fragments of skeletons from ape-man type creatures found in Africa and Australia, but current research is showing that they were more ape than man. In all probability they were never ancestors of man. Then what about all those wonderful cavemen, Neanderthal, et. al. which populate our movies? In the last few years science has conclusively shown that Neanderthal was never in the family tree of man. As time goes on, and we acquire more and more scientific data, we find that there are no ancestors of man. There is just man, who appeared on this planet a few thousand years ago and worshipped. That was one of the first signs of man, Homo Sapiens. Not only did he use tools, but more important he worshipped, worshipped something or someone.
To pass off the existence of life as a set of random occurrences, or chance, is not science, it is pseudo-science or it is superstition. Science is not the muttering of platitudes like "it was just an accident, a freak occurrence." Science is sitting down and determining what occurrences needed to happen in order for life to form, assigning a probability to each of these events, and finally determining the overall probability of life occurring by chance. That's science, and that's how you find out if it really is a possible chance occurrence. If that seems too hard you could also calculate the probability that this planet has come into existence by chance and is just perfect for supporting and maintaining life. This calculation has already been done. If you are interested in the details you should consult Prince Michael, an astrophysicist. His calculations show that there can be no planets in the entire universe such as our earth that came about by random chance. The fact that the earth is here at all shows that something other than chance is involved. There is a creator. Evolution didn't happen. Today, even scientists are against evolution. Not only is evolution contrary to the teachings of the Bible, but it is bad science.
