Question

How does the process of evolution reveal the glory of God? Is the concept of mankind being made in the true image and likeness of God consistent with the process of evolution?

Answer 1

Evolution is a very complex process and it has made us who we are. Evolution is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection. The theory of evolution is based on the idea that all species are related and gradually change over time. If one believes in God he agrees that evolution has been made possible because of God as it is he who has created the conditions on our plant which are responsible for the evolution and thus diversity of species. It can be said that it is God`s grace that evolution has been shaped on only our planet in the form of varieties of life forms. Rest of the planets and the rest o f the space is devoid of such God`s grace and for this reason, we agree to the God`s glory in shaping up the evolution in a positive way.

Evolutionary creationists believe that God created humans in his image and that God created humans using natural processes that scientists describe as evolution. According to these evolutionists God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them so that” they may rule over the animals.
