→Biblical arguments against evolution
Accordingly Bible, birds were created later than fruit trees, but accordingly to evolution theory, fruits of the trees and birds which eat them co-evolved at the same time. Counter-argument: First fruit trees may have not edible (not suitable for birds) fruits. They may co-evolve with birds afterward.
If Geology developed as described by the mainstream science, how kangaroos reached Australia after the Flood? Counterargument: Maybe the Flood happened only in Eurasia? (It seems that what is commonly translated "Earth" in Bible about the Flood may mean a territory, such as Eurasia.) For this to happen, the altitude of Eurasia would need to be below altitude of other continents before the Flood. Is it possible? However, Bible teaches that the land was divided [[Tanakh:1 Chronicles 1:19]] (and it agrees with mainstream science), but disagrees with the mainstream science on when and how quickly or slowly this happened.
=== Biblical arguments pro evolution ===
[[User:Victor Porton|Victor Porton]] translated the following verses in a way supporting evolution:
* [[Exegesis:Genesis 1:11|Gen. 1:11]] "Earth will sprout green plants producing descendant, fruit tree making fruit for its kind making progress of his offspring in it on the Earth".(It can be interpreted as fruit tree being descendants of grass.)
* [[Exegesis:Genesis 1:25|Gen. 1:25]] "God has made relatives on the Earth by their kind" (if it is translated correctly, different kind of species are called relatives by Bible).
* [[Exegesis:Genesis 1:29|Gen. 1:29]] "grass offspring bearing seed making progress on the surface of the entire Earth, and all trees making progress in their seed of the tree, offspring bearing seed".
Jesus says that serpents and scorpions are created by Devil: (Luk. 10:19) "Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you." Thus it is a liable theory that the evolution on the Earth was going under effect of both God and Devil.
[[Exegesis:Isaiah 64:2|Isaiah 64:2-3]] says that "mountains flowed since antiquity". This implies a very long ago creation of mountains of the Earth.
