You’re confusing Christianity with a fundamentalist, literal reading of the Bible. It is entirely consistent with Christianity that God chose evolution, or something similar, as his creation method. Did God create man? Sure. How did he do it? We don’t know, but He gave us the brains to figure it out. He’d be disappointed if we didn’t try.

Oh, and there is absolutely no physical evidence of young-earth creation, but the evidence for the alternative abounds.

Variation within species is entirely consistent with God's creation and method of propagation of the species.

The problem is when the natural variation we see is extrapolated into species to species evolution, whether you call it speciation, or macro-evolution.

God goes to the trouble of explaining to us that the different groups of animals were created in different creation events, that man was created from the dust of the earth and that woman was created from man's rib. He makes the effort to tell us as much as possible, (and reasonable) so that we can be sure that not only did He do the creating, but that he did NOT evolve us from another creature.

Show your NON-verses to prove it.
