Christianity and Evolution are mutually exclusive

I would like to observe that Genesis does refer to 24 hour days. Genesis 1 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night. " And there was evening, and there was morning"the first day. In each of these days it talks about how God made the birds, mammals, etc. So it is clear that the creation of all species and phenomena were within single days. For example, we see God making seed bearing plants, fruit plants, and trees within one day. According to evolution, this took millions of years. In the 4th day, God made the sun and the moon at the same time. According to our current stellar evolution theories, the sun was formed far before the moon was and definitely before the earth. In the 5th day, God makes the fish and the birds in one day. He then makes land animals like livestock on the 6th day. According to evolution, these came about over millions of years, not in the space of one day each. Also, evolution says birds came after land animals, not the other way around. The bible also gives a genealogy from Adam to Noah, to Abraham. So it is clear that this story is literal not allegorical. Noah's Flood ------------------- Evolution discounts global flood and yet it is in the bible. Genesis 6 11 Now the earth was corrupt in God"s sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. It is very clear that God was going to flood the entire earth. Since there is a geneology from Noah it is unlikely that he was a metaphical character. These events are spoken of as actual events, and there is no hint of metaphore. Why would God confuse people by making them metaphore? If these events are metaphore, what else isn't. Making entire parts of the bible metaphore is a cheap way of discounting parts that you don't agree with. Adam and Eve -------------------------- Adam and Eve conflict with evolution because evolution claims that the human population evolved from more ape-like populations. There were never just two humans. We see a progression from humans to apes. The origin of sin and the atonement come from Adam and Eve. The Creation event is referred elsewhere: Exodus 20: 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Exodus 31: 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed. ""
