Thank you for sharing your insights, dear sister in Christ!

The very ancient notion that man descended over long periods of time from a common lifeform belongs to the realm of monist superstious fantasy called metempsychosis and reincarnation. This is where we find man as dung beetle or female dog in a past life.

I suspect some Christians who accept common descent haven't really thought it through very well.

We Christians believe that God become enfleshed in the body of a virgin, was born, made water into wine, the blind to see, healed the sick, raised the dead, etc. - died as the propitiation for our sins, resurrected on the third day, awaits in heaven and will come again. We believe that every thing that was made, was made by Him and for Him.

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: - Col 1:16

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. - Revelation 4:11

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. - John 1:1-3

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. - Hebrews 11:3

Since we believe Him about all of this, why would we think He did not specially create man as He said He did?

And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. - Genesis 2:7

God's Name is I AM.
