You can still believe evolution happened and be a Christian. God could've created the fish first and intended evolution to happen. The Hebrew word that we translate as "day" in the bible can also mean any amount of time. So in the beginning, what we consider the first week of creation could've actually lasted millions of years
Amen. The Bible says the just shall live by faith, not by waiting for science to catch up to the holy inspired Word of God.
Why isn't "because God says so" a good enough reason for a man who professes to be a follower of Christ and His Word.
I like science to. If We would just be willing to build on what the Bible already tells us, then our true science would be miles ahead of their sandy science-so-called.

Stars (our sun included) were created in the verse one - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Later they were only made visible from the surface of the earth, because the atmosphere of the planet was not transparent before.
Hebrew words in the verse 16 (God made two big lights...etc) mean the action made some time ago in the past, not an actual creation. And science confirms that.

hey yea I agree about stars being in verse one and in my view our sun is one of billions of suns or more though the billions or more where in the beginning and the sun in our solar system was Created complete in its form as we know it today in the fourth day verse. Yes it was later when man could look to the heavens and view them. One of the great lights mentioned is the sun close to earth I assume pretty much agreed on by most people. the other light I know a few answers from scripture to other answers.

We all came from a common ancestor. I wouldn't necessarily call them "lower" animals. They were just as evolved as anything else living along with them. It's a misunderstanding to think that evolution works in a sort of upward ladder process. That's not the case. A turtle is no more evolved than a rabbit which is no more evolved than a tulip. That's why it's the "tree" of life not the ladder of life. So it's not as if monkeys are wishing to become human and they are well on their way as if humanity is the final step of evolution. Doesn't work that way. We humans might cease to be humans as we know them in another million years. We could speciate and there could be different intelligent apes living around the globe again. Especially this will happen if we start colonizing other planets and moons. Isolated gene pools are basically breeding grounds for allopatric speciation events.
