What is proof of God creating man and not evolution?

The evidence that God created man in his current form is limited to the Bible, in two distinct creation accounts at Genesis verses 1:1 to 2:4a and 2:4b to 2:22.

  • In the first account, light [day] was created on day 1; then the firmament, which was believed to separate the waters of the heavens from the lower waters; then by gathering the lower waters in one place the land appeared. Grasses and trees were created; sun; moon and stars - the lights in the firmament; fish, land creatures and fowl; finally man, both male and female. Of importance here is that both man and woman were said to have been created after all the other creation.
  • In the second account, there was pre-existing dry land, but God had yet to make it rain for plants to grow. A spring arose and God took some moist clay and made Adam. After Adam, he made the creatures of earth, one by one, then finally Eve. This account has man (Adam) as God's very first creation, while woman (Eve) was his last.

Proof of the evolution of man is extensive and growing, with new evidence found almost every year. Primitive humans evolved from earlier hominids around two million years ago in Africa and our early ancestors gradually migrated to Europe, Asia and elsewhere. There is ample evidence of this process and a large number of primitive skeletons have been found and dated scientifically.

An option that supports both faith and science and is accepted by many Jews and Christians, is that God used evolution to create man.
