The Bible Answers Evolution

THE BIBLE ANSWERS EVOLUTION

1. Evolution allows man to not be responsible to God. So man sets his own rules.

• Judges 17:6 (KJV) 6In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his owneyes.

• 1 Corinthians 8:2 (KJV) 2And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

6. 6 days or 6 geologic periods? God could have created everything is just one day; in just one second, but possibly, He chose to do it is six days to set a precedence for our workweek. God compares the creation to what?

8. Evolution states that through gradual change over millions of years, a single cell organism changes form from one species into another species. The Bible, what does it say regarding multiplication of various species. How does this differ from evolutions ideals?
