Biblical proof that Evolution is true

"Biblical proof" is an oxymoron.

The bible says the Earth is flat, that someone lived inside a whale, that every single person on earth came from two people that were created from dust.

Its not a science book, don't treat it as one.

The bible says the world is a sphere, it is the Catholics who said the world is flat.
I see that your understanding of science and religion is faulty.

Where did Jesus stand with the devil to be able to see "the four corners" of the "sphere"?
 
I'll take established science over a bronze age book of fables.
I've always liked the part where after God created the Earth, "He also created the Stars"
I guess the other 763,000,000,000,000,000 objects was an afterthought. :)

You got it wrong. The heavens contained the stars. Translating from one language to another can be a problem.
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens then the earth.

Genesis 1:8
And God called the (Earth / firmament) Heaven.

Genesis 1:14
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament-s of the heaven-s to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
 
Why should anyone care what the bibel says? Apart, of course, from the dwindling number of Jewish and Christian religious obsessives.
I am a Swede and you are? Illogical.

No it doesn’t. The Hebrew word used is very specifically the word “circle”, even though a word meaning “ball or sphere” also existed in Hebrew at the time.

The Bible very specifically refers to the earth as a flat circle covered in a solid dome and orbited by the sun.

The four corners of the Earth are the four quadrants of Earth, corresponding approximately to the four points of the compass.

Indeed. The Bible makes many claims, but offers no real proof of anything.

Let us see the scriptures where it says the world is flat.

No it isn’t. It is translated as “circle”. Ancient Hebrew had an entirely different word for “ball/sphere”.

And besides, the Bible also posits other things like a mountain so tall it can see the entire earth that only work if it’s claiming the earth is flat.

There are many places in the bible that explains what certain parables mean. The bible was not written for Atheist, it was written for people of faith.

Acts 1:3
After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

“Circle of the Earth”

A circle is a flat, 2D shape.

Modern Hebrew and Ancient Hebrew are NOT the same.
 
There are many places in the bible that explains what certain parables mean. The bible was not written for Atheist, it was written for people of faith.

Acts 1:3
After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
Faith does not equal fact.
 
The bible says the world is a sphere, it is the Catholics who said the world is flat.
I see that your understanding of science and religion is faulty.
Easy to recognise the earth is a sphere / circle. Anyone with eyes and an ability to imagine can do that. But that is not science. Science requires rigorous examination, not a view and imagination. Same with saying the earth is flat. A quick observation and no research at all will tell you that the earth must be flat. But again, that is not science. It is just an observation.

A circle is a flat, 2D shape.

They could have used the word meaning “Ball/Sphere of the Earth” but they didn’t.
The people who do the translating do not always translate correctly.
 
The people who do the translating do not always translate correctly.

They used the meaning of the Ancient Hebrew word that has been consistently used in the Bible that way for more than 2,000 years.
 
Faith does not equal falsehood also.
It equals wishful thinking. There's nothing to establish or support it as fact. Without empirical evidence, there is no reason to accept or think it's not false.
