Evolution is simply how we describe the change of things in the passage of time.

And this includes one species "evolving" into another eh? But the Word of God says that God created Adam from the dust of the earth. He did not evolve from a beast.

Jesus showed us that God is able to make something from nothing (a healthy eye "created" from spittle and dirt). Why not believe the Bible?

All preexisting bodies are dust. That doesn’t exclude the dust being another form before it was made into us.

“Jesus showed us that God is able to make something from nothing (a healthy eye “created” from spittle and dirt”

Dirt and spittle aren’t nothing and that’s kinda the point. The fact that a healthy eye was made from pre-existing material doesn’t mean that this wasn’t a miracle, that this wasn’t from devine origin.

The fact that I don’t read the Bible the way you do, doesn’t mean I don’t
believe it. I think it has the be approached with respect for the sacred authors and the ideas they were trying to illustrate.
