Hello again Tim, No offense taken. Regarding your concerns: 1. Yes I do. Again many of the details of this process are left out. I don't claim to know the supernatural abilities God used. I would say this however. Take away the water from a human's body, take what is left over, and you basically have minerals...aka....dust. The rib bone, I believe contains all the DNA and RNA needed would be found in the marrow, not that God couldn't create without it, but the processes that occur in the body at the micro-cellular level are still vastly unexplored. Rib periosteum has a remarkable ability to regenerate bone, perhaps more so than any other bone. Add to that the complexity of things like reproduction, it is amazing. One thing is dislike about science is reductionism, meaning how we tend to discount how amazing life is and how everything (almost) perfectly meshes together. I see God written all over it. 2. Yes. Why not? Some things I'm not sure about to be honest. The question of hominid fossils etc. I believe Adam, at the very least, was the first human with a spirit and a soul. 3. I would not disagree with scripture in any case regarding location because it is remarkably accurate in its historical and archealogical descriptions. Again I would revert back to my earlier post. Ultimately all truth is God's truth. Any apparent conflict between true science and scripture is human error. You say: "Current scientific thought would make Genesis a total lie. God did not create in order He says. God did not create where He says. God did not create how He says. Regardless of the time issue, it makes Genesis dishonest. I trust Scripture, but I don't trust, at least to the same extent, the changing views of man." We agree on much more than we disagree on. God is unchanging. Man has constantly tried to usurp God's authority, it started when we became aware-- when man's mind became like that of God, aware of good and evil. As for the chronology of Genesis and the fossil record. I'd say it is open to one's interpretation. It is known that events like the "Cambrian Explosion" of life and the "Burgess Shale" harmonize because it clearly indicates life exploded on to the scene. If you look at Genesis chapter one, the fifth day seems to read very much like the fossil record we see now because it talks about all the creatures teeming in the oceans. Now, to me that sounds like the Cambrian explosion. But I don't recommend you try to use scientific findings as evidence to support Biblical creation. All science does is begin to tell us what happened, the little tantalizing bits and pieces. I agree man's beliefs about the world around us change all the time, we ought not let it interfer with our faith. |

Greetings Doug! You are right! It does sound like we agree more than we disagree. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
