Can Christians Believe in Evolution?

Biological evolution possesses variation in types, although the common thought of evolution being the so-called “macroevolution.” Macroevolution is not to be confused with microevolution (i.e., adaptation). Macroevolution is an evolutionary change of one kind of living thing to another kind, while microevolution, most commonly known as adaptation, is the evolutionary change of some living thing, but the living thing shall retain its kind. Macroevolution has at no time been observed. This fact is excused by evolutionists with “millions of years are needed for macroevolution to occur.” Macroevolution is not possible considering Genesis i:

“And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done [Gen. i. 11].” 

“And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done [Gen. i. 24].”

Every living thing is to bear its kind; there is no possibility of a creature or a plant or any living thing to bear something that is not of its kind, regardless of the time which is to pass. A kind is a family when considering the classification of living things (the biological classification of life). Example: The lion, whose family is felidae, can reproduce with another member of felidae, but with no creature outside of the family can it bring forth a child. 

A further contradiction is a claim that birds are evolutionary descendants of reptiles. "But several features link the two and make it clear that birds are indeed descendants of reptiles [THE SCIENCE OF BIRDS, The Evolution of Birds: Their Origin and Diversification by Ivan Phillipsen]." This is not possible, for Genesis states the contrary: "He blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth. And the evening and morning were the fifth day [Gen. i. 22-23]," and "God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds [Gen. i. 24]." Biblically, the birds actually came before the land creatures, whereof reptiles belong.

The final, simplist argument is, "And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done." God speaks something which is subsequentaly done when spoken. There is no gradual process whereby something evolves, rather, it is simple words. 

"Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats; which have not profited those that walk in them."
