To an extent.
Evolution is God's process of creating the diversity of life that we see today.


To attribute any such "process" as being responsible for the diversity of life does not make sense in light of the fact that such potential stems from information/programme. What does a process contain.....??? The wonderous programme of the DNA code is what gives us the potential for such diversity. The only process, if one could use such a term, is simply reproduction and growth from a gene pool of ancestry going back to the first two created parents and the continuation of the same by doing the same. And so it has always been and so it is what we observe to this day.

We can observe the incredible diversity that God placed within created kinds all around us.

In Genesis 1:11,12 God said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was done.
12. And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as yeildeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit, having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.


And this is exactly what we observe and always have. A basic law of biogenesis - like species reproduce ONLY after their own kind. Supported by Observational science and Genesis 1.

Genesis 1:27 And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.
And God blessed them, saying" Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subude it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth

Speaking of Jesus, John 1:3 says, "ALL things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made."

Oh Timothy, keep that which is committed to they trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsey so called.
Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. 1 Timothy 6:20-21


And when you have a creator that has made all creatures to reproduce after their own kind, so his original creation would increase, continue and be preserved, what need would there be for such a senario of an evolutionary process to instead receive the credit? He could have chosen to do it yes, but we see no evidence He did. Instead, we see a fossil record showing spontaneous and abrupt appearance of fully created life forms, not halfway between one and the other (shared traits are not evidence for transitional forms) nor simple life becoming complex.

He could also have done it differently by simply creating a multitude there and then - without commanding His original creation to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. But indeed, it would seem, that we are lucky enough to share a part in the procreation of his glorious beginnings and understand that we were indeed, created in God's image and are in that respect, separate from animals - Jesus did not die for animals, they are not guilty - nor did He die for for an evolved outcome that started with an animal or "half animal". Jesus died for human beings with souls that were tarnished by original sin stemming from our first two created parents who also had souls - the ones made in God's image, not the image of ape-like creatures. Jesus came to reconcile us with God by his sacrifice on the cross, that we could then be "born again" through baptism. To cleanse us from original sin, and all proceeding sins thereafter (should we continue to repent and receive).

The blood line from our origins to the Virgin Mary - through to Jesus, could not have originated from an ape-like ancestor, since were we made in the image of God, not the image of a beast or half beast with only a process to rely upon to make us more....human. For it is not evolution that has made us human (or fully human), but our Creator God.
