Evolution and Abrahamic religions are absurdly incompatible. One day, having just watched the development of organisms for millions of years, God finally gets bored, selects a random species of particularly successful land fish, and gives them a soul.
(Subsequently, he hyperfixates on them for a couple of thousand years, giving them rules and intervening on behalf of a small subset of them, then finds that tedious and disappears again. He pops back to impregnate one land fish, and introduces the idea of eternal life, then when his fish son dies, he gives up on the whole thing and is never heard from again.)
Honestly evolution is absurd, just look at religion: as a species, our large brain seems to exclusively function as a kind of concept incubator, and so we have people who latch onto all kinds of crazy ideas. Sometimes its something like hey what if we messed around with metals in an organized way, and bam we got the bronze age. Other times its like no, no, no the sky voice is very powerful indeed, which is why you have to cut off part of your dick.
Sometimes I think Douglas Adams had it right about the nature of the earth.
