Bible Question:
What if a day for God is like a thousand years for men. What if God started the processus of terraforming and then the processus of life and every so often He would step in and redirect all of that in any direction He'd choose. What if the "dust of the earth" means the elements that at the moment of the dawning of man where (by then) already created. What if God went through some work before He was satisfied with the results. What if apes, for exemple, and then hominids and then Neanderthals where just that, a stage before the final result of Man. What if apes where allowed to remain in their state because far enough from the final result, but hominids and others where removed because too close to but not perfect for God desires. Could this include evolution into the Creation? I sure don't mean to sound heretic. It's just that some things about evolution seem to make sense but not on their own only. Somewhere in the Scriptures i've read that the lengt of time is not the same for God and man. Does anything in the Bible confirms or deny the possibility of some of my "what if". Please do not feel outraged at my questions I'm sincerely trying to make sense of what I see. I'm a newcomer as a believer. Does anything in the Scriptures forbid to question Them for clarification? Do we have to take everything that is written as it is? I have the impression that our Creator gave us intelligence to inquire on things but maybe somethings need to remain unquestioned. Please be kind in your reply and keep it simple as english is not my language. If this is not the right forum for me, please let me know. God bless you all |
Bible Answer: It is good to question, but not jump to early conclusions. I think that one of the clues to understanding how God created things is in Genesis Ch 1v21 everything was made according to its own kind. Within that framework everything was given the ability to adapt to the enviroment around it. That is often confused with evolution, what it should be called is the process of adaptation. You will notice that dogs that have adapted to all sorts of enviroments and tasks but they can still interbreed. The reason for this is that they all come from the same original species or kind. I hope this gives you a new way to observe what could appear to be evolution. God bless John D |
