The Creation of Days
Another reason evolution can not fit with the Bible is because of the creation of days. The Hebrew word for day used in genesis is "yom," which means a literal 24 hour time period, a small time, and a distant time. We can use the context to interpret what sense the word 'yom' is. If there is a number before the word day, the word day will mean a literal 24 hour period. In Genesis 1, it says "that was the first day... that was the 2nd day... that was the 3rd day..." We see that evolution has a different view on this. Another big thing about creation is that genealogies show that the earth is only 6000 years old. Evolution, on the other hand, tells us that the earth is billions of years old. You read the genealogies, and you question is God left multiple generations out, and that our calculations may be wrong. Maybe the earth is actually millions of years old. A non-christian Hebrew scholar said that there would not be enough missing genealogies to account for billions of years. The MOST it would get us would be to 7000. Another non-christian scholar said that if you took the Bible as it is without any human ideas, you could see that the earth is 6000 years old and that day meant 24 hours in Genesis. A third (non-christian) said that the bible proves the earth is 6000 years old, even though it denies the cosmos. How come non-christians can believe this, but we can't? There is enough evidence in the Bible for this, and yet we still believe man's ideas. What are you going to believe?
