Life and modern questions
What does the Bible say about evolution?
The Bible is not a science textbook, and Christians hold different views on how God created. What Scripture insists on is that God is the Creator and people bear His image.
What Scripture says
Genesis 1:1
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
Genesis 1:27
“God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.”
Psalm 139:13-14
“For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.”
Colossians 1:16-17
“For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.”
