If evolution is true, what is the point of God?

The first cell isn't evolution, it's abiogenesis.

After that, evolution could go on and on and on without divine intervention and produce humans.

Well, I don't think I am at liberty to start a debate with you :blush: , as I am not educated well enough to understand some of the things you are saying.

100 blessings for you Bushido! :hug:

I have yet to see where God even fits into evolution. God said he created man in his own image. Man is a reference to a human being fully formed not evolved.

I have a question on this.
If we evolved like science said, and as some would say: God started evolution. Why would God hide this? He is a God of truth. I really don't see how or why He would do this. Admitting that we were a product of evolution and the He started it would not have hurt Him one bit. But He did not say that and that's where we are adding to His word. It is the implant of what we want to believe, and not what God said. He said he created, and I believe that.

God didn't hide it. It is plainly obvious by looking at God's creation how God created. God related the spiritual message of this creation in the bible. Understanding the how of creation by studying it first hand does nothing to change the theological reason of why God created giving in the bible.

If God really created through special creation only a few thousand years ago, why did God hide the evidence that we should find in the creation that would show us this?

I don't see any hiding at all. The whole world is testimony to God's methods. The Bible is a testimony to His motives.

God isn't hiding it, that's the whole point.

BTW, remove your webpage please.

There is no doubt that all living things are created from 'dust' although the Bible does not indicate so, except for creation of man. This probably indicates that we were no difference from creation of other creatures. My belief is that it is possible that human has been evolved up to the point before God blew into the nostrils and man was called the "living being". From that point onwards, we were distinctly different from all other creatures -- having many characteristics which are probably not present in other creatures. Of course, we are still continuously being affected by evlution.
