1 | Bible and evolution both? | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 2752 | ||
Can a Christian believe in the theory of evolution? To recast the question, is it possible to believe in evolution and the Bible at the same time? Does not one patently contradict the other? Please clothe your comments and answers in scriptural references. | ||||||

All in Genesis Ch. 1(Creation Story). I believed in both for a long time Hank. Evolution seems to mirror the story of Creation in a general fashion, but it only works at first glance or from a distance. The more specifically you study either, the more they cancel each other out and eventually become mutually exclusive (at least in my experience). Creation: if you study the hebrew words in the creation story and review the exact definitions (created, and notice where, when, and how often the word is used) there is simply no way these words can allow a slow gradual evolution form one form of existance to all the others, this would allow for only one 'created' being, a single cell! Evolution: evolution theory would reject water animals and BIRDS before land animals. Evolution says birds came after reptiles, which came after ?amphibians? (frogs!!), so not only were there water/land animals but also the most pimitive land/water animals (my terminology). The Bible discusses NO land animals until after birds. Evolution is also based upon random mutations in beings that, when the mutations are positive, continue on through the process of natural selection. This completely rejects the idea of design and/or purpose which is a primary force in the Creation story. This is a difficult area Hank, all I can tell you is that at some point all christians are forced to separate themselves from the world. For me, this question was a difficult time in my walk with Christ, I hope you're not having the trouble I was having. I am naturally an analytical person, and it seems like, when a was at this point I was asking Christ to prove Himself to me daily on an analytical basis. I can joyfully say He did, at least He did for me. If you are going through what I went through I will be praying for GOD speed and blessing to you, Hank! Let me know if you need these prayers, or just the general kind!:-) |

Additional note, Hank. God created man from the DUST of the earth, completely unacceptable in evolutionary theory, we all came from the pond! (so they say) | ||||||
