...does the Bible allow evolution?
...Even Darwin made the claim that the fossil record should be full of transitional fossils. There are none to be found.
Also, the theory of evolution states that life began from spontaneous generation. In other words, life just sprouted, spontaneously, from non-life. This is impossible...Spontaneous generation has been disproven time and again...Who made you an expert on biochemistry? Look up Tektaalik, a clear transitional fossil. We've found hundreds upon hundreds of transitional fossils, but people who are ignorant of the elegance of evolution look at every transitional fossil as creating another gap on each side for other fossils to be found.
As for spontaneous generation, a.k.a. "Abiogenesis," it's technical term (look it up), there have been a number of experiments proving it is possible. It's been done: taking two chemicals (cyanide and amonia) which are inorganic and freezing them. The drop in temperature increases the rate of reaction (some reactions are sped up by low temperatures while others are nearly stopped completely), the cyaniide and ammonia began creating base structures and RNA chains. It took 20 years to reach that stage but organic life from inorganic life has been done, it's not that hard. That said, evolution is free to run it's course.
We don't need the fossil record to prove evolution, tracing back DNA to it's roots gives us proof that everything organic came from a single ancestor. Not just animals, but plants as well. We don't just share a common ancestor with apes (we didn't evolve FROM monkeys and apes), we share a common ancestor with venus fly traps and the common cold. In fact, around 10% of our DNA is carried through retroviruses much like the flu and without them we couldn't pass on our DNA to our children. If you want to throw out evolution then you can forget about the new discoveries of recently evolved proteins in humans that are beginning to combat the HIV virus. If you don't believe in the science behind medical progress then you shouldn't get to enjoy it's benefits.
I can't be nice about this. I swear if you pull out Micheal Behe I'm going to shoot myself in the face.
