Subject: Infallibility of the Bible questioned. |
Bible Note: Greetings Steve! I agree that the lenght of time of creation is not all that significant. Other than the fact Genesis says that the "evening and the morning were the first day, ect...." So, a natural reading would be 7 days. However, the usual approach is to first deny that Genesis is real history, then to deny that Adam and Eve were real people, then to promote evolution. Evolution simply isn't compatible with the doctrines of the Bible. Obviously, Genesis doesn't tell us every detail of creation. I mean, which cell did God cause to split first! :-) But, it is a huge jump to go from that fact to saying that nothing in the creation account is historical. No history or biography gives us every detail. I sat under a philosophy professor in college who believed in Theistic evolution. We had a great debate one day, but when it came right down to it, he was forced to admit that he did not believe that Adam and Eve were real people. He believed that they were simply symbols of God's creative act, which was accomplished through evolution. It is interesting to note that this same professor is part of the openness of God movement and denies just about everything the Bible says about God. Well, I've got to get back to bed so I can go to work! I'll chat with you later Steve! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
