Organic evolution is the theory that the first living organism developed from lifeless matter. Then, as it reproduced, it is said, it changed into different kinds of living things, ultimately producing all forms of plant and animal life that have ever existed on this earth. All of this is said to have been accomplished without the supernatural intervention of a Creator. Some persons endeavor to blend belief in God with evolution, saying that God created by means of evolution, that he brought into existence the first primitive life forms and that then higher life forms, including man, were produced by means of evolution. Not a Bible teaching
The introduction to the centennial edition of Darwin’s Origin of Species (London, 1956) says: “As we know, there is a great divergence of opinion among biologists, not only about the causes of evolution but even about the actual process. This divergence exists because the evidence is unsatisfactory and does not permit any certain conclusion. It is therefore right and proper to draw the attention of the non-scientific public to the disagreements about evolution.”—By W. R. Thompson, then director of the Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control, Ottawa, Canada.
Genesis 1:3-31 tells how God prepared the already existing earth for human habitation.

There are a few explanations as to what evolution is.
1. The process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
2. Another is, the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex forms.
And then there is this thought, that some people say that life evolved. Others contend that God merely started creation off and then let the process of evolution take over.
However there are others who consider what the Bible says,“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1).
It does not comment on exactly how God created everything. So even if a cosmic explosion produced our universe, that would not contradict what is stated in the Bible. Rather, Genesis 1:1 would answer the question, Who caused the big bang?
Many scientists believe that the big bang was a spontaneous, undirected event that led to the self-arranging of particles of matter into stars and planets over a period of time.
The Bible does not support that view but states that the formation of the universe was a direct act of God, whether he employed some sort of cosmic explosion or some other method of creation.

Evolution is when you are commanded to pretend to believe the theory by some person who claims to be an authority. Satan is the god of authority. (Luke 4:6) God is the God of freedom. He allows everybody to believe whatever they think they should according to the available evidence. Evolutionists don't offer evidence, they only change the definition every twenty years or so. You don't have to actually believe it, it's ok to lie and pretend to believe it.
