FAQ #Evolution

Do people who believe in Genesis really believe in a fairy story?

We had an inquiry from someone who is reading Genesis for Ordinary People who said, they’d been told that God would not use evolution to create life because it involved mistakes and God doesn’t make any mistakes. There’s no law to evolution, it’s a random chance thing and God doesn’t use random chance. God, they were told, can make things in a flash. Ping, and there’s a pig etc."

So Genesis chapter 1 actually supports what science has been telling us for a long time - Humans came at the end of a long line of living creatures! If that is so why do some people still say that science is wrong and that God made man instantly?

I believe the Bible but I’m struggling with the order of creation. At college we’re told about the Cambrian explosion and how plant life seemed to emerge at a similar time, what’s up?
