Macro-evolution & the Bible are not reconcilable

It seems my opponent will procede in giving us a case with normal Biblical age, while also, giving us a marco-evolution senario. This is acceptable because my case goes much further than that. What are the two concepts we are dealing with here? The Bible - a doctrine that matter and all things were created, substantially as they now exist, by an omnipotent Creator, and not gradually evolved or developed. As opposed to:Macro-evolution - that is the continuous genetic adaptation of organisms or species to the environment by the integrating agencies of selection, hybridization, inbreeding, and mutation. Some believe that evolution and the Bible can be united but really that is not the case. I've often wondered how could anyone possibly say that these two concepts can be reconciled. People need to be told up front that the Bible and evolution do not agree. The theory of evolution is matter of fact anti-biblical. This goes to show that by accepting evolution, christians are not allowing the Holy Spirit to interpret Scripture for them, but science. One of the problems with evolution is that it gives the impression that man is really no different than any animal, planet or any living thing on earth. All scripture is giving by inspiration by God. If we are to trust God for our future then we should trust Him for our past. This means trusting in Him and His word for the earth's history, our history and His creation of them. How can someone who believes in evolution overcome phrases like, "The evening and morning were the first day, the second day, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day and the sixth day. " Here it is clear that these are 24 hour days. Though some will have you believe that this could mean long ages. Well if this is the case then how can we believe in God for our future? If we can believe in Him for our future then we should also believe in Him for our past. What we should look at that when God said it, then it comes to pass. When God established the Ten Commandments, He commanded the Jews to keep the Sabbath day holy (Ex. 20: 8-11). God's creation took six days and then He rested on the seventh, so the Jews were to work for six days and rest on the seventh day. This commandment wouldn't make any sense unless the days were literal. Evolutionists believe that man has come from "simple" one-celled organisms which evolved into more and more "complex" organisms, from which evolved certain ape-like creatures who after many thousands of years finally evolved into men! Of course, this evolutionary process is said to have taken millions and millions of years! Creation was made already mature and not over long ages. In Genesis, all the creations that were made, were made mature. We see this specifically with Adam & Eve. Adam was not made as a baby or child, needing to mature but was already created fully grown. Eve also was made fully grown when she was made from Adam's rib. It is natural to assume that all creation was made mature when it was made. All creation was fully developed in its specific function when God created it. If there is reason not to believe this then evidence needs be supplied. Day 1 begins with the creation of light. God creates by spoken command and names the elements of the world as he creates them. Day 2 creates the firmament, created on the second day of creation and populated by sun, moon and stars on the fourth day, it is a solid dome which separates the earth below from the heavens and their waters above. In day 3 the waters withdraw, creating a ring of ocean surrounding a single circular continent. After this, the last of three acts of separation. Darkness from light, water from water, seas from land and the third day continues with preparations for populating the now orderly world. God does not create or make trees and plants, but instead commands the earth to produce them. At the end of the third day God has created a foundational environment of light, heavens, seas and earth. As said before, in the fourth day, God creates the lights in the firmament. He creates the Sun, moon and stars. In the fifth day God creates the moving creatures. These next passages are very important to this debate. The passage say's God brought forth the creatures of the sea and fowls of the air. The term brought forth means to 'birth or to produce'. In no way does this suggest that God allowed evolution to create them and evolve them. In day six we have the creation of land creatures, all the lot of them. In these passages it say's the earth brought forth them. The same language as in the fifth day, meaning that the earth birthed them or produced them by God's command. Then God creates man in His image. The Bible is specific that man was created in God's image, of the dust of the ground (Gen. 1:26, Gen. 2:7), and the woman from man's rib (Gen. 2:21). Are these are not supposed to be literal? God says that they were created that way, they were not evolved. Why would it not give a description like that of man & woman evolving? Genesis tells us that the creation was created in six days. If the days mentioned were anything other than literal, then that could be viewed as a deception by God. The Hebrew word used for "day" in Genesis 1 is yom, the word yom, coupled with a number, appears 359 times and is always a literal day. There are also other words in Hebrew which are suitable for long periods of time (ex. olam or qedem), but none of these words are used. As we see my opponent has a up hill battle to claim that the Bible can be reconciled with evolution. Evolution requires much time to produce the life we have on this planet but creationism does not. We all seen that in no way does the Bible suggest that evolution was a tool of God or that the Bible mentions long ages of time.
