The belief that God is interested in us doesn't mean that we are important but that God is aware of everything, even those things which aren't important.
How well would you relate to an entity that lives its live in a picosecond(0.000 000 000 001 seconds)?
You wouldn't even register its existence.
Do you seriously think that an entity that(hypothetically) has existed for the 13-15 billion years that the universe is aged and congruent with the volume of space that it occupies has any idea that an insignificant, microscopic speck of carbon such as yourself even exists?
Don't be so bloody arrogant.
And that is why evolution and religion cannot co-exist, because religion would have us believe that on the cosmic scale of things we are important.

Actually Augustine himself proposed that there were just "kinds" in the beginning and suggested evolution himself. I can't prove it but recent genetic evidence shows there was an Adam and Eve, traceable genetically back to about 8-12 K years ago in Africa.There are two kinds of evolution, microevolution and macroevolution. When God created life he created beings with the genetic ability to produce variations among their descendants. One example of that is the different races of humans. This is called microevolution and we know it is true because we can actually see it happening. Macroevolution is the belief that organisms can develop completely new characteristics that are not found in their ancestors. We don't have proof that this actually happened. This article explains the difference between them:

Quote:Their was already a creation in my view, which explains where Cain and/or Able got their wives.Genesis 5:4 says that Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters, so Cain married one of his sisters.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
