I would say no because where in the Bible does it explain that evolution occurred over a period of time? It does not say anything about evolution. Evolution is something humanity created to try to fill in the missing gaps in the past so we feel like we accomplished something. If we evolved, where did we evolve from? A combination of atoms? Liquid? How flawed and impossible that is.

I think you misunderstand what evolution is.
The theory of evolution states just this: Species change over time.
I think we can all agree that this is, in fact, true.
In addition, Soren, the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs, are we to assume that they didn't exist? It doesn't mention asteroids, are they figments of our imagination? It doesn't mention nuclear fusion, is it just a hoax?

For God to tell people something and expect them to believe it, it's either true or a lie, and God doesn't lie, so it's true. That's how I see it anyway.

But God didn't write the Bible.
