Origin of Man: The good and the better account.
Scientist believe that man originated as a result of evolution from simple organisms some billions of years ago, that evolution started as the needs arises for organisms to adapt to their enviroments. So man evovled from the stage of simple organisms to the stage of amphibians through to the stage of homosapiens sapiens, and along the evolution line brachiating from the reptilian to the amphibian and aves stages.From fossils in record, millions of years ago the homo stage appeared(evovled). Looking at the homo evolutionary history and not forgetting thier forebearers the australopithecines, we could infer that taking into account the vivd changes from homo habilis to the stage of homo sapiens; "man has indeed envolved(grown). With specific information given about dates from radiocarbon datings and explicit explanations given about it's cranial growth, not eliminating his obvious changing physic (i.e changes in the tooth cups patterning and even his hip joint) ability to stand erect( homo erectal age).

it is my opinion that no account of man's origin or evolution should be counted as irrelivant or useless as each account almost give the same explanation except in a different ways.
According to the bible God created man in his own image according to his likeness, but it was not stated that man was God's first creation, infact man was the last he created and that was after he has made every other thing. First God created light and seperated it from darkness thereby initiating seasons, which explains the scientific opinion about changes in the atmosphere, then the combinations of different atoms to form life on the sea(in water) the bible also says that God created sea animals and plants and all this existed before man came into being. Now considering these two accounts we can draw inferences that will make us understand that one account is just a better explanation of the other. In the begining both accounts being considered agree that the earth was without form and void (misty and dark), and that there was a change as a result of which life sprung up on earth. According to the bible, God initiated a change and to the scientist some things happened which cost the change in the earth temperature and made the air spirals to conjure then forming the present different features that the earth possesses i.e the land, sea, atmosphere and sky.
According to "Genesis chapter one vere six" God made air to seperate
