First, for every reader of Bible it should be clear that there was no "independent" evolution, but that the creation was guided by the Creator. It is clear from [[Exegesis:Genesis 1:1|Gen 1:1]] saying that the Spirit of God was hovering over the Earth. His purpose was clearly to guide the creation.
== Biblical arguments ==
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.
== On creation of man ==
It looks like that [[Exegesis:Genesis 2:7|Gen. 2:7]] proves that people were specifically created not just descended from monkeys.
However there is probably no reason to assume that [[Exegesis:Genesis 2:7|Gen. 2:7]] is short-time event. We can consider that it is a millions years long story: God created Adam from atoms of soil using oxygen of the air to active it.
So, does anything in Bible contradict to the theory that people are monkeys' descendents?
Well, probably some biotechnology of God (or an advanced civilization used by God) was used to transform monkeys into people.
Bible disagrees with modern science about the time period (as investigated by radiocarbon dating) of existence of man. But this can be easily explained by the fact that before the Flood the atmosphere of the Earth was different and thus radiocarbon dating produces wrong results when analyzing events before the Flood.
