Subject: Bible and evolution both? |
Bible Note: Steve: Welcome aboard. 1. While theistic evolution is a MORE accurate way of looking at the origin of biological life in comparison to purely naturalistic evolution, that is not to say that theistic evolution is the correct view. I do agree with Behe's "irreducible complexity" scholarship, but that fits both theistic evolution and special creation of species. 2. Again, this is not how the Bible tells it. Why would God inspire Moses to write a make-believe story? We get into dangerous waters when we start talking about reconciling the Bible with the natural order. Perhaps our interpretation of Scripture is incorrect on this point or that one (such as the idea of a geocentric universe, which is never directly stated in Scripture), but to take a whole, detailed account and say, "This isn't the way it REALLY happened" is to deny the authenticity of Scripture, not its interpretation. --Joe! |
