Undoubtedly, God created life in stages, most of which, if not all, pre-dates mankind. The question revolves around whether or not man is the eventual offspring of single-celled life or whether or not life forms are more limited in their range of evolutionary possibilities.

I agree with what Archae said. The purpose of scripture is to bring us to Christ. Period. There is no other purpose. None. Ever. No exceptions.

How does this bring anyone closer to Christ?
I don't really care how we got here. God seems to use nature to do things and it's pretty clear that nature chose evolution. The more interesting question is "why".
