Do atheists realize that evolution was part of God's plan of Creation?

Why do atheists try to separate the Science of God into a separate branch, and call it Evolution. The Bible states:

Genesis: Chapter 1; Verses 11-13

11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day."

Examine the statement: "Let the land produce vegetation". This means that earth itself was designed to do exactly what the statement says: produce vegetation. This would mean that the "seed" was planted to bring forth such. It doesn't say "boom, there's an apple, boom, there's a watermelon, etc.." It clearly states that these thing were meant to EVOLVE from the land!

Why do atheists want to separate the truth and create their own definition of what Evolution means?

Update:

Did anybody notice this was on day 3!? Meaning there was already sunlight? ???

    Why did he create plants before he created the light (aka, the sun) they needed to photosynthesize then?

    11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

    16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

    Source(s): I can quote the Bible too.

    Do you understand what "natural selection" actually implies..?

    It makes the entire concept of a deity completely superfluous!

    ..If evolution could have happened without adding an extra entity, like a god, to it, and if this entity has NO function whatsoever if one DOES decide to add it, adding it makes no sense! Look up Occam's Razor for more information. Also, read more about evolution and actually try to comprehend what is going on.

    This is one of those rare occassions where the fundamentalist, bible believing, born-again Christians agree with the fundamentalist, bible hating, dead-in-their-sins atheists.

    God did NOT use evolution. The atheists say because there is no God - the Christians say because there is no evolution. However, whichever side you ask, if they are being honest, both will say God does not mention evolution in the bible.

    Because science is science, and religion is religion. It's OK to have both in your life. When you try to use one to do the job of the other, things get messy.

    If YOU want to attach a personal spiritual significance and philosophical view to evolution, fine. But that belief and philosophical part are not science. Evolution, in and of itself, simply does not address the concept of God one way or another. And nor should it, because theism is subjective stuff that goes beyond the category of science.

    Ummm, how does a plant producing seeds = evolution? I mean, I'm not the quickest study ever, but those 2 things don't seem to fill any gaps...

    You only described seeds for vegetation... no where in that quote does it state complex life forms of any kind. We sure didn't come from plants...

    Not only did you allude to evolution, but there are no external sources other than your opinion.

    It doesn't say "evolve". It doesn't even hint that this took over a large period of time, or that these "kinds" came as the result of change from the original.

    You're reinterpreting evidence to match your prejudged conclusion. That's entirely the opposite of science.

    so in a day or two those seeds, without sunlight, grew into plants for the animals to eat. A day in genesis is defined from evening to morning.

    Oh wonderful how the christians keep trying to find proof when all it does is show just how weak their faith is!!!!

    It is not atheists that do what you claim but the Christians who seem to eschew education, science, evolution works of fiction and so much more!

    But thank you for giving us something to laugh at!!!

    Where does it say "and let 99% of this vegetation die out in extinction"?

    Besides all that, WE didn't separate anything. We just said "science is science". We just left out the religion part because religion is not what science does.
