Curt, please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the distinction you are making is between micro-evolution and macro-evolution, the former being compatible with Scripture, the latter not so. --Hank | ||||||

Absolutely... and I believe this is where both scientists and believers get confused. Some scientists try to take micro evolution and turn it into creation. Some Christians try to disavow all evolution as a communist plot. This is, I believe, a serious mistake... for it is untrue, and leads unbelievers to think we are goofy... not very helpful in evangelism. I don't think we have to commit intellectual suicide to be Christians, and further believe that God gives us wisdom to understand the knowledge we collect. To the extent that we can explain the consistencies of Scripture and scientific knowledge (which we know must jive), we gain credibility, in evangelistic service to our risen Savior. We are called to be winsome witnesses. The beauty of our faith is that we don't have to be ostriches. We can examine truth from every angle and know that God makes it all work together. To the world, we can be like Daniel interpreting the dream... piecing together scientific truth and theological truth in one glorious story. Cheers Curt |
