Bible Question: 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. |
Bible Answer: Hey Hank, I totally agree! It does totally contradict. Nowhere in scripture does it say we descended from apes. Gen 1:26-27 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. KJV So if we were made in God's image, then God was an ape and we are now humans? And man was an ape and evolved into a human. SERENETIME |
