Lets look at this this way. God created the whole universe and its a pretty big place and very complex. Our Galaxy alone is over 100,000 light years across. Not to mention the billions of galaxies beyond ours.
Darwin came up with a theory which by no means was to suggest that God does not exist. While others may not adhere to that conclusion, we must ask ourselves how did we come to exist in the first place.
Everything has a creator, the world and all the life that inhabits it are very unique.
Darwin suggests that man and all species evolved from a lower form of life to what we are today. If that is so, then would it not seem likely that God planned it that way? Would he not have developed or engineered life so it can adapt to its surroundings? And as the surroundings changed, so would life in order to survive in that environment. Personally I don't believe that man evolved directly from the ape, but there was a lower or other form of species of man that did exist at one time. Did we evolve from that? Maybe so. Everything that is made evolves into something better or more complex. Just look at the advancements in technology over the past three decades. This is a different analogy because such things are man made. But since we were created by God, would it not make sense for mankind to evolve into something better as I stated before.
If you read the Bible, it says that God created the heavens and earth in seven days. For the religious sector they take that verbatim. But how long is a day to God? A day for God could be 10,000 millennium or more. 10,000 millennium to God, could be compared to a day for us. According the the book of Genesis, God created the animals first and man last. Who is not to say that man was not created until millions of years after he created the animals? Adam being the first man and Eve being the first women, could have been Gods creation of modern man from the lower species. This is all conjecture, but from a practical standpoint it could be the way things began. I don't think Darwinism is evil, but to suggest that its the whole truth is in my opinion wrong. According to hardcore Darwinians, life began in some primordial soup.
And according to Creationist's God created the earth in seven days. The latter is more true.
But we can look at it from God created evolution as a means of our survival and adaption.
The earth and all of the universe had to be created or engineered and by the greatest engineer which is God.
