I'm fairly sure that this topic has been on the website before, but I didn't see it so here I go. For some reason people cannot seem to accept both God and evolution, I suppose it is a sense of pride for their beliefs. In fact, evolution and God makes fairly good sense. In Genesis, people argue that God does not live in time. I'm not sure if this argument was created many years ago, but if this idea wasn't created out of sheer protection for God, then people somehow knew to grasp the concept of time being non-existent. Anyways, if this concept of God not living in time is true, it could have taken possibly billion of years to create man. Man was molded into God's image, not neccessarily was automatically there, it may have been a process. Also note how in Genesis water creatures were created before land (though it also says the creatures in the air were created, but gives no specifics). Genesis follows evolution decently, so perhaps all that time period God was molding his simpler creatures into what he wished them to be. Just a thought .
