After every mass extinction new species appeared. God or evolution?

    Some species survived every mass extinction and they quickly evolved to fill available ecological niches left vacant by the extinction. New species evolve from old species, they do not just appear by magic.

    Well, I guess since God was done after the first 7 days, and the mass extinction and re-radiation events took place over the subsequent 4.5 BILLION YEARS, it must have been evolution, eh?

    new species appeared because not all species went extinct. The new species evolved from earlier life forms, not from "nothing". So, today's birds are related to dinosaurs.

    if a species goes extinct another rises to prominence......creation

    No, after every mass extinction, some survive, repopulate, and natural selection does its work.

    New ones don't just appear, the ones that survived became the main ones and kept multiplying. Like when dinos died out the small mammals came to be the more dominate ones.

    All of the books attributed divine inspiration by man state that god only created once.

    Evolution has nothing to do with atheism nor does it negate the existence of the divine.
