Furthermore, a flood lasting several months would have destroyed most forms of plant life. Micro-evolution is consistent with the Bible and also explains both the existence of the fossil record and the observed emergence of new species. Note that new species are not necessarily new kinds , i.e., trees don't become birds. Macro-evolution , on the other hand, is a theory based on a series of hypotheses and assumptions. It is the theory that a molecule developed the ability to copy itself and over time the chemical became more complex, developed into a virus, developed into a simple cell without a nucleus, then a cell with a nucleus, then a multi-cell creature, and ultimately, humans.
Theistic evolution says that a god controls any evolution that occurs.
Atheistic evolution says that it's all a matter of chance. Atheistic evolution says that even if a god exists, he isn't causing or controlling evolution. Although atheistic evolution is the generally accepted view both in the scientific community and among the general public, it is totally unscientific . It gains no advantage by evolving eyes until it has a visual cortex and connecting nerves. It gains no advantage by evolving an optic nerve if there is nothing to connect to on either end.
