The animals were made before Adam.

Genesis 2 seems to say otherwise, but whatever.

However, you still have the problem of Eve. If God put Adam to sleep and removed a rib and then closed his flesh to create Eve. Then clearly Eve did not evolve.

Following St. Augustine, I don't take that passage literally. But even if you do take that literally, there's no conflict with evolution. If Adam evolved, and Eve was supernatuarally made from Adam, then ultimately evolution was part of the process by which Eve was formed. And there's no way a scientist could falsify the proposition that Eve was made from Adam's rib.

KJ is not as clear as the NIV version on this. In the NIV version it's clear that in Gen 2 God is bringing the animals that he HAD made before Adam. That's where I made my error. So the animals were formed first.

Gen 1 vs 2
