Oh, look, a modern day Matthew Harrison Brady! Maybe we need to bring back Henry Drummond to explain why evolution and God are not mutually exclusive and that theory of evolution is or can be completely consistent with the theory of God.

I don't know who this guy is but he is wrong to claim there is no evidence of evolution. There is tons of evidence if you are willing to see it. For example, we know that before homo sapiens, there were several other human like variations of "people", and each variation evolved in some way to be "better" in terms of survival than the variation that came before. Of course there are gaps in what can can observe. Its not like someone was keeping records for millions of years before man evolved.

What there is no evidence of is hat man was just created out of nothing. There is no evidence that Adam and Eve were created according to the bible, and in fact this make no sense at all. If we started with just Adam and Eve, there would be some serious problems with our genetic makeup. It had to be more than that.

He is also over-simplifying the argument about genetics. In 2005 a study showed that chimps and humans shared about 96% of our DNA. But since then we are finding it is more complicated than that. So 96% may not be accurate. But what is indisputable is the basic construction of all life begins with DNA, we know it can mutate from generation to generation, and everything shares the same building blocks regardless of whether or not the actual DNA structure is the same or different. No one can speak for God and say why things are like they are, but the structure of DNA and life itself is similar enough among all species that it is evidence that all living things started from the same thing. Or else, why not some carbon based life and some silicon or some other substance?

The universe is government by the laws of physics. Why is it no possible that God created those laws, or put them in place and then allowed them to produce everything we observe today? Is that any less godly?

I disagree. Evolution cannot be consistent with the Christian God. If you remove any concept stated in the brief Genesis account, then the entire thing (Judeo-Christianity) falls apart.

God distinctly created man different from all creation. He made the planet, the fish, and everything else. After which He made man in his image, - God did not evolve. In his image means fully formed triune beings with a mind/soul, a body and the spirit of life. Primates don’t have this. Neither do rodents, amphibians or anything else that was created. Not even angels.

The idea of evolution stands in stark contrast to being made in the image of Yahova and our dominion/stewardship of the planet.

The source material is the same - plant earth - which explains similar DNA markers, but humans share over 90% with mice and pigs as well. This is not the image of God/Yahova/Yeshua.

But God did not create man distinctly different than all creations. In fact, all of us share DNA with Neanderthals, as much as 3%. And we have discovered remains of man-like people who exhibited human-like intelligence.

Of course, if you accept the bible literally, then there is a lot in there that needs explaining and is contradicted by modern science. Some people in the bible for example, lived to be hundreds of year old. This is contradicted not only by science but also by records kept by the people of the time.

But I do take the bible literally :)
The theory of 'A' God is fine, but the Judeo-Christian understanding of God conflicts entirely with evolution.

If there's a design...then there's a Designer. Who I Believe is God, and some Alien Engineer...

That's what I was trying to state...
