Subject: Bible and evolution both? |
Bible Note: Greetings Steve! Thanks for the response! 1) God and Evolution: This was just an interesting thought I shared with my professor in college. 2) Adam and Eve: To me, this is the most crucial problem with Theistic Evolution. I can accept to a degree that "day" may mean more than 24 hours, but Scripture is very clear about the personal creation of Adam and Eve. Theistic evolution has to ignore this and say that Adam and Eve were simply the first apes who evolved to the point they could be called man. It is at this point that I believe Theistic evolution fails. All of Scripture affirms that there was a man, Adam, who was directly created by God. It was his sin that brought sin upon us all. A second problem with Theistic evolution is that those who tend to make the first couple of chapters of Genesis into a parable also tend to go on and say all of Genesis is a parable, not history. 3) BTW: Concerning the grape juice or wine issue, grape juice is an acceptable translation when we see throughout Scripture that "wine" can refer to everything from the grape to the juice. But, that is another thread. If you interested, search for "Morant61 and wine". :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
