There are many discrepancies between the first creation story (derived from the Bible)
and evolutionary theory (derived from astronomical observations, the fossil records,
radiometric dating of rocks, etc.):
Item |
According to Genesis |
According to Evolution Theory |
Source |
Genesis 1:1 to 2:3 |
Paleontologists, Biologists, Astronomers, Geologists, etc. |
Sun |
Created after the world |
Present before world coalesces |
Grass, land plants, trees |
Created before the sun |
Evolved after the sun |
First forms of life |
Land plants |
Marine organisms |
Birds |
Created before land animals |
Evolved from land animals |
Fruit Trees |
Created before fish |
Evolved after fish |
Initial diet of animals |
Restricted to plants |
Animals evolved as meat, plant eaters, and omnivores. |
Age of the universe |
Less than 10,000 years |
About 14 billion years |
Age of the Earth |
Less than 10,000 years |
About 4.5 billion years |
Age of earliest life forms |
Less than 10,000 years |
About 3.5 billion years |
Where humans came from |
From Adam who was created by God(s). Genesis 1:27 does not
explain the method. Genesis 2:7 explains that Adam was made from dust, the
ground, or soil (translations differ). |
Evolved; higher apes and Homo Sapiens share a common ancestor.
Actually, any two species of life have a common ancestor, even humans and
cabbages, or dogs and sharks. |
So...NO. Theory of Evolution is NOT described in the Bible, it is not compatible, not compliant...you get the message...
