Lets try logic

For the theory of gravity to be true there has to be a reason why it started.
For atomic theory to be true...
For auto mechanics to be true...
For the English language...

Of course they all started for a reason. But see, English, mechanics and evolution are just the same, just as "true"
whether god gave them to adam and eve, or they were invented by the man in the moon.

Horses today are a lot different to how they were thousands of years ago, and trust me, I know horses.

Of course, but did you know horses have bones of three toes? Odd..

Did you know earlier horses walked on three toes, each with, yes, hooves?

There are skeletons of every stage from a little 5 toed forest animal up
thru bigger ones with fewer toes and teeth better suited to grass eating,
to today's horse, who still carries a bit of its ancestors' 3 toed feet.

Its so plain a child can see it. Its pretty cool, really, I hope you get interested.
Best wishes..!

That is one place where the bible account is superior to evolution it explains who and why it started. Evolution we have no idea.

But if it was God then why didn't he let us know it was evolution instead he lead us to believe he created everything.

If God caused/created evolution He still did create everything, He created the blueprint so to speak.

God isn't the only one that can talk to us in our dreams so it may not have been God.

In the bible he told us how and when he created every thing. in the bible he said he made birds and fish first then he made the other animals. In evolution they were being made at the same time.

No, I'm sure it was God. He distinctly said, "I am God". Why would God lie?

No, I know it was God because in my vision, He was wearing a white robe, not a red suit with a pitchfork. It was definitely God.
