There is no reason for the belief that humans evolved slowly from animal or vegetable life. Evolution teaches that humans developed from lower forms of life, but this "lowers the great work of the Creator to the level of man's narrow, earthly conceptions" and it degrades man. The Bible says that even though Adam was formed from dust, he was "the son of God".
From the book of Genesis:
5:1 This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the
day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name
Adam, in the day when they were created.
5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat [a son] in his own
likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years:
and he begat sons and daughters:
5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he
died.
