Human evolution

I was just meditating on the theories of evolution and what it entails when our own kids are being taught about these things at school. The theorists believe that human beings have undergone an evolutionary process whereby they continuously develop from one stage to the other. And that human is still evolving from stage to stage. How true is this statement that they have failed to prove? If it is true then, how comes we have stagnated at the present level. We are born upright men and women and we leave this world upright people despite the aging effect on some. Then how can there be a reality in evolution? I really don’t understand.

Let’s consider the following two theories one for Zoologists and the other from the living word of God (Bible);

Zoologists have it on records that humans are homo sapiens, a culture-bearing upright walking species that lives on planet earth. They believe that the primary resource for detailing the path of human evolution is the fossil specimens. But questions of how these species lived and why they might either have died out or evolved into other species can only be addressed by formulating scenarios. It is believed that the original changes toward an upright posture were related more to standing, reaching, and squatting than for extended periods of walking and running. Human beings stand with fully extended hip and knee joints. The question is where did the process start and end? We can’t see the continuity in the evolution process in our present world yet this subject has remained on curriculum for long in some countries.

Biblical point of view which I believe is the truth has it on record that God created human beings in His own image. His creation was complete and that there was no evolution to bring forth generations. Each creature was commanded to bring forth offspring of its kind. The Bible says “God said, “Let us make human beings in our own image, in our own likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created human beings in His own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them. “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground,” (Genesis 1:26-28).”
