I have significant issue with theistic evolution...
Reason 1
Genesis 1:1
1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
Genesis 1:
31And
God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 2:
21So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs
f and closed up the area with flesh.
22And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
Genesis 2:
1Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.
Genesis 2:
19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one.
And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
It seems to me that in order for theistic evolution to work, God would have needed to set things in motion and then evoution runs its course. The problem is, Genesis speaks very clearly of exact days, events that happened on those days, and of forming Adam out of the dust of the ground. The mere fact that Adam named all of the animals means that they were on the scene within the very earliest part of Adams lifetime. We know Adam lived for 930 years because Moses tells us through inspiration from God that is how long Adam lived for. The timeline of all of this taking place within Adam's lifetime leaves no room for the evolution of 1 cell organisms over millions of years into to Humans, fish, birds, bats, insects, apes, or camels!
BTW if one was to google the definition of "forming" in the context of how the word is used in Genesis...
"bring together parts or combine to create (something)."
Reason 2
Theistic evolutionists accept the scientific consensus on the
age of the Earth, the
Big Bang and
evolution.
Theistic evolution - Wikipedia
One cannot accept the big bang within the context of the book of Genesis. The description of events in Genesis is far too coordinated, timetabled, logical, and specific! Evolution works on the premise of chaos...this is in direct contrast with Creation and Christianity. God is not chaos and i challenge anyone to prove using the Bible that he is! (note that is a pointless initiative because the Bible says, God is love and his laws are laws of Love. This means love is order, stability, and harmony)
There are oil deposits found all over the world. They are not region specific. These oil wells range in depth up to "The world’s deepest oil well, known as Z-44 Chayvo, goes over 40,000 ft (12 km) into the ground – equal to 15 Burj Khalifas"

Origins of Crude Oil (refined for use in Ships, Trucks, Cars, Aircraft)
"Crude oil originates from ancient
fossilized organic materials,"
Oil - Wikipedia
Fossilized organic materials were once living organisms that have been buried under sedimentary rock with enormous pressure over time, thus forming oil and coal.
A 2 part question with regard to sedimentation and the wiping out of the dinasoars...
If a meteorite struck the earth and killed the dinosaurs and wiped out other living things, how is it possible that anything survived a "world-wide" meteor strike large enough to deposit such vast quantities of sedimentary soil on top of all living things thus creating oil fields that are at similar sedimentary deposit depths and therefore likely the same age?
In order to form oil and coal fields around the entire globe, the meteorite would have needed to be large enough to cover the whole earth under immeasurable quantities of sedimentry rock. How is this possible without destroying the earth completely, and/or knocking it off course in its pathway around the sun thus making our proximity to the sun such that life isnt even possible?
Another problem...the definition of sedimentry rock...
"Sedimentary rocks are types of
rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of
mineral or
organic particles at the
Earth's surface, followed by
cementation."
Sedimentary rock - Wikipedia
There are two types of deposition of sedimentary rocks. These are:
1. Biological - marine animal deposits settling on the floors of oceans for example
2. Geological - the weathering and erosion of existing particles that are then carried along by water (such as in the case of a flood) and settling.
If water is the means by which our currently accepted method of sedmentary deposit occurs, how did a massive meteorite large enough to cause the entire globe to be deposited with sediment not also break the planet into pieces and/or knock it off course in space thus upsetting the balance of life supporting distance from the sun?
Finally
The deepest man made bore hole on earth is Kola Superdeep in Russia (near border with Norway).
"To scientists, one of the more fascinating findings to emerge from this well is that no transition from
granite to
basalt was found at the depth of about 7 km (4.3 mi), where the velocity of seismic waves has a discontinuity. Instead the change in the seismic wave velocity is caused by a
metamorphic transition in the granite rock. In addition,
the rock at that depth had been thoroughly fractured and was saturated with water, which was surprising...and had been unable to reach the surface because of a layer of impermeable rock.
Microscopic plankton fossils were found 6 kilometers (4 mi) below the surface." Kola Superdeep Borehole - Wikipedia
The most logical answer to the above references (particularly the Kola Superdeep Bore Hole in Russia) is the Biblical Flood.
The story of the flood says the following about deep underground water...
Genesis 7":
11In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the
fountains of the great deep burst forth,
then when the flood event was at the point of completion...
Genesis8:
1 But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.
2The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens
were closed,
