Could God have used evolution to create?

Well, let’s think about what evolution is. Evolution involves death over millions of years as creatures who are less fit die out and those that are more fit live on to reproduce. It’s a very wasteful process of death, death, and, well, more death!

But God describes his creation at the end of creation week as “very good.” Would God call a world full of death, suffering, disease, and bloodshed “very good”? No! To say he did is an attack on his very character. It makes God into an ogre, instead of an all-good, kind, and gracious Creator.

God couldn’t have used evolution!
