I have a view that they can co-exist. Yes I believe we were created by God. And I don't have a problem with the notion that creatures have evolved (I don't agree that humans have done so, or ever will)
to a point.
The environment changes and I believe God has adapted situations to fit. First question from you guys would be "if God is all-knowing why does He have to change things?" - my answer is the world has been in decay since the Eden incident (read Genesis to find out why) and the environment is constantly changing as a result and to give everyone a chance, He adapts things.
Another way I look at it is the example of the common household cat. Small, fast, silent, vicious (usually...), nature's perfect hunter. They don't have big cumbersome paws which slow them down, they don't have long heavy tails to throw them off-balance, they are perfectly adapted to hunt and kill. Agaian this is just an example but someone/something created them that way and is in control of them not evolving in to something which compromises their position as a natural hunter.
That someone/something (which obviously in my view is God) has a law in place which makes them stay in that physical form to fulfil their role in nature.
Obviously I don't base my whole view on the example of the cat - that's why it's an example - sorry for stating the obvious but I sense the sharks are circling....(incidentaly, sharks are also perfectly adapted for hunting in their environment...!
)
