Even generous estimates of the earth's age do not include enough time for life to evolve. Too many things had to happen in too precise a manner. Although many scientists propose naturalistic evolution, they do so because of their assumption that no supernatural being was involved. Christianity, however, tells us that human beings are similar yet very different from the animals. People possess personality, self-consciousness, a spirit, and the ability to relate to God on a personal level.
Human beings are qualitatively different from animals, plants, and rocks.
Some religious faiths describe a type of god who possesses both good and evil elements. Christianity, however, sees evil as an intruder in a good God's good creation. Evil came into the world through Adam and Eve's willing choice to rebel against God. According to Christianity, the choice for evil had a far-reaching and devastating impact on our relationship with God, our relationship with each other, and our relationship with the world. Instead of close fellowship with God, there has been estrangement.
