What is evolution?

Answer:

So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good ( Genesis 1:21 ).

Romans 1:22; Psalm 8:3–9; Genesis 1:20–25

Calista, the word evolution actually just means “change.” Of course, we all know in our world today it usually means something else. When most people hear the word evolution today, they think of Charles Darwin. Darwin believed that one kind of animal evolved into a totally different kind and that eventually ape-like creatures evolved into human beings over millions of years.

This is totally against God’s Word, which clearly records that God created all living things according to their kinds (that dogs would only produce dogs, cats only produce cats, and so on). God’s Word also states that the first man was made from dust and the first woman from his side (they didn’t come from ape-like creatures)! There has never been any scientific evidence to show that one kind of animal (any animal) has ever turned into another totally different kind of animal! God’s Word is true.
