Is evolution compatible with the Bible?
Theistic evolution implies that the Bible's account in Genesis is not completely accurate. However, Jesus referred to the Genesis account as historical fact. (Genesis 1:26, 27;2:18-24; Matthew 19:4-6) The Bible says that before coming to earth, Jesus lived in heaven with God and was involved in helping God to bring "all things" into existence. (John 1:3) Therefore, the idea that God used evolution to bring about different life-forms is incompatible with Bible/God's teachings.
What about the ability of plants and animals to adapt?
The Bible does not explain how variation can occur within a kind. Neither does it contradict the fact that different kinds of animals and plants created by God can vary as they breed or adapt to new environments. Although some view such adaptations as a form of evolution, no new kind of life is produced.
