The bible doesnt discuss the subject of evolution. Rather, its worldview assumes God created the world. The biblical view of creation isnt conflict with science; rather, its in conflict with any world view that start without creator.
Equally commited and sincere Christians have struggled with the subject of beginnings and come to differing conclusions. This, of course, is to be expected because the evidence is very old and due to the ravages of the ages, quite fragmented. Student of the bible and of science should avoid polarizations and black / white thinking. Student of the bible must be careful not to make the bible say what it doesnt say, and student of science must not make science say what it doesnt say.
The most important aspect of the continuing discussion isnt the process of creation, but the origin of creation. The world isnt a product of blind chance and probability; God created it.
The bible not only tells us that the world was created by God; more impotant, it tells us who this God is. It reveals God's personality, His character, and His plan for His creation. It also reveals God's deepest desire; to relate to and fellowship with the people He created. God took the ultimate step toward fellowship with us through His historic visit to this planet in the person of His Son Jesus Christ. We can know in a very personal way this God who created the universe.
The heavens and the earth are here. We are here. God created all that we see and experience. The book of Genesis begins, " God created the heavens and the earth."
