How the Bible Supports Evolution
It says that God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures.."(Genesis 1.20)...
"So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded." (Genesis 1.21).
My point here is that God delegated the work of creating all the sea creatures to whom??
To "the waters" of the seas -- rather than to Himself.
In other words, to Nature.
This is similar to what evolutionists say when they use the term "natural selection," selection by Nature.
In both cases Nature does the work.
Likewise, in regard to the land animals it's the same thing.
God says, "Let the earth bring forth the living creatures according to its kind:
Cattle, and creeping thing and beast of the earth, according to its kind." (Genesis 1.24).
Again, my point here is that God doesn't do the creating directly, He works thru the middle man, so to speak, of "the earth."
The earth is synonymous with Nature.
It is the earth or Nature that "brings forth" lifeforms.
Evolution is how "the earth" brought forth the various kinds of animals.
I mean simply that it doesn't say that the earth brought forth each lifeform separately, totally disconnected from the other lifeforms.
In short, Genesis allows for one lifeform to give rise to a second, a third and so on.
Genesis 1.20-24 says each kind of life produces "after its own kind."
Evolution says the same thing.
The only difference is that anti-evolutionists claim this is true 100% of the time.
Whereas evolutionists say it is true 99.999% of the time.
Since the Bible doesn't actually say this truth is absolutely true 100% of the time, it seems to me the Young Earth Creation cultists (as opposed to Christians which they are not) are presumptuous to claim the Bible is on their side.
PS: Just because evolutionists claim one lifeform will give birth to a different lifeform, a mutant form, once every 10,000 births (I'm guessing),
this doesn't mean that evolution denies the general principle of reproduction "after its own kind."
PS: this poem isn't anywhere near comprehensive.
I'm just scratching the surface so far.
So I might add to it in the future.
