Hey, I know this has already been done in another thread, but that was like 8 years ago or so.
So, just looking for some bible verses supporting evolution. I know about Genesis 4:13 (Cain's punishment), and the ones in Genesis 1, but what else is there?

Nada one.
The scriptures teach that the earth is full of Sin, has been cleaned once, is under the rein of it's father, Satin, and will be burned up.

Not a thing about weeding out all the misfits and the strong surviving.

Evolution would be a process, not fitting with the others.
You might as well add "melting ice" to the list.
And the freezing of water vapour. Did you ever praise God for the beauty of a snowflake? You could add the evaporation of water to form clouds and the convection currents that cause the winds that bring the rain God sends on the just and on the unjust.

Dear Lach, Genesis 6:4 shows that the sons of God (Prehistoric man) married the daughters of men (Adam) and their offspring evolved from prehistoric to human intelligence.

The same verse shows that this happens "also after that." It happened again when the sons of God, who were present when Noah arrived, married Noah's grandsons and produced intellectual giants (Humans) on our Planet. This is probably the best view you can find in Scripture to show evolution (adaptation) in action.

In Love,
Aman

Only if you avoid quoting scripture.

It would have to counter these in opposition to scientificallusions:

Gen 1:11, 12, 21, 24, 25; 1 Cor15:38, 39 Everything multiplies "after its own kind"
Gen 1:3-19 Light was created before the sun.
Gen 1:2 Oceans were created before land.
Gen 1:7 Atmosphere between two hydrospheres
Gen 1:11 First life was land plants
Gen 1:11, 20, 21 Fruit trees were created before fishes.
Gen 1:11-19 Plant life was created before the sun.
Gen 1:14-19 The sun & stars were created after the earth.
Gen 1:16 Stars were all created at once.

I don't remember the exact chapter and verse but used to debate an atheist who thought Ecclesiastes described evolution.
Just putting that out there...

Grace and peace,

Sky:>>Only if you avoid quoting scripture.

Dear Sky, I see NO contradictions with Science. Let's look at your Scripture.

Sky:>>Gen 1:11, 12, 21, 24, 25; 1 Cor15:38, 39 Everything multiplies "after its own kind"

Evolution is the measurement of the differences in the allele frequency in a population over time. This agrees with "after its own kind" and is referred to as Micro Evolution or Adaptation. It happens everytime a baby is born, since two separate individuals become one. Adam speaks of this happening with his FIRST words: Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Macro evolution is an assumption of Godless evolution, but Evols don't like to even recognize the term, since they teach that all evolution is the same. There is a great difference between the assumptions of some men and the facts of Science.

Sky:>>Gen 1:3-19 Light was created before the sun.

The Light which was before the Sun was the Light of YHWH/Jesus who also provides the Light for New Jerusalem in Heaven. The Glory of Jesus is Brighter than the Noonday Sun. When Saul saw Him on the road to Damascus, he was blinded.

Sky:>>Gen 1:2 Oceans were created before land.

The "deep" or water came from the air or atmosphere which God called "heaven." Water was produced from the gases in the air. NO ancient man could have possibly known this. It proves that God authored the Bible.

Sky:>>Gen 1:7 Atmosphere between two hydrospheres

The firmament or boundary of the first heaven was surrounded by water. When a solid object has water above and below it, it is surrounded by water. God placed the firmament in the "midst" or middle of the water and the water surrounded that world. Later the same water destroyed it.

Sky:>>Gen 1:11 First life was land plants

Genesis 2:4-7 shows that man was the first life formed. It was AFTER the Earth was made but BEFORE the plants were made. Gen. 1:11 does NOT say the plants were first. Genesis 2:8 shows that the man was placed in the Garden and THEN the plants grew. This happened on the 3rd Day, as the verses show.

Sky:>>Gen 1:11, 20, 21 Fruit trees were created before fishes.

This is true on the first earth, on the world of Adam, but NOT on our Planet.

Sky:>>Gen 1:11-19 Plant life was created before the sun.

True. Plants grew on Adam's world BEFORE the the first Suns of our Cosmos were made on the 4th Day. Genesis 1:16

Sky:>>Gen 1:14-19 The sun & stars were created after the earth.
Gen 1:16 Stars were all created at once.

The Stars came forth from the Big Bang which Jesus caused on the 3rd Day, the SAME Day the first Earth was made. Genesis 2:4 Adam's Earth was made the same Day, but the Stars did not appear until Millions of years later. Science agrees and has recently learned that the first Stars appeared long AFTER the Big Bang. Our Solar System did not appear until some 9 Billion years after the BB and came from the destruction of those first Stars.

God's Truth agrees with EVERY discovery of Science and History. The problem with understanding this comes by believing the false notions of pre scientific, ancient men, whose thoughts have been mixed with God's Holy Word, through religious tradition. Studying the Bible, along with the discoveries we have made, shows that Genesis could NOT have been authored by ancient men. It PROOF of God, since only the Supreme Intelligence of Creation could have possibly known, and written this Truth thousands of years ago.

In Love,
Aman

Col 1:16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. That includes evolution too, it was creation by, through and for Christ.

It puzzles me how evolution, which is a existential, philosophic fantasy be a creation through Christ? You'd have to ignore the real-time historical record of the book of Genesis to believe that.

Obviously if evolution is fantasy then it wasn't created by Christ, if it is a real biological process as all the evidence shows, then it is Christ's creation and your assumption of Genesis as a real time historical record is simply a misunderstanding of the text.

It is not a real biological process which real science proves. Bioilogically speaking the parents must have the geness to pass characteristics to their offspring.

The first life form, which cannot be proven scientifically, according to the evolutionists did not hve bones, did not need b ones tso survive and did not have gthe genes for bones. So how did they ever produce a kid with bones, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. When you gete to eyes it is even harder to explain. Leet me change that; it is impossible to explain, scientifically of course.

One of the biggest farces in the ToE is whale evolution. There they must explain how a land animal doing quite well, traded its legs, nose and tail in for fins, a blowhole and a flapper.

It can be done biologically, but it is necessary or the ToE shown to be a non-scientific fantasy.

I don't know if anyone has posted this response yet, but here is something to consider:

[T]hen the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
Genesis 2:7 ESV

Okay, first of all, the Bible clearly says that we are all made from dust like Adam:

All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return.
Ecclesiastes 3:20 KJV

If we are born by a natural process and Adam was really made all at once as a special physical creation of God, then how is it that we are all made of dust just as he was? Science and the Bible agree that man is composed of dust.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, we have Jeremiah 1:5.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations."
Jeremiah 1:5 ESV

The Hebrew word for "form" here is "yatsar". It is the same word that is used in Genesis 2 when it says that the Lord God "formed" the man of the dust. So if the Lord can say that He "formed" Jeremiah and we are all made of dust, then why couldn't He say that He "formed" Adam from the dust even if Adam had natural parents?

I believe that Adam was the first to be conscious of God and that is what made him human, the capacity for God-consciousness.

Eve is a little more difficult to deal with, but we have to remember that Eve is a type of the church and just as the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam and He took Eve from his side, so God was pleased to crush His Son, he was pierced in the side, He "fell asleep" and after His resurrection, God took a Bride for Christ out of His side as it were. Just as God took six figurative days to make the world and rested on the seventh, so Christ had His passion week leading up to the crucifixion and He rested on the seventh day in the ground.
