Subject: quick response on creation vs evolution |
Bible Note: hvnscry: Along with user "following him" I recommend the icr.org web site to anyone who is interested in the creationism/evolution issue from biblical and scientific perspectives. I see many problems with the "guided evolution" idea that are inconsistenct with the creation account in Genesis. To name but two: [1] It is inconsistent with the six days of creation. In order to subscribe to the "guided evolution" theory, one must read into "day" in Genesis a meaning other than a 24-hour day. Thus we begin the interpretation of Genesis by saying that the words used in the text don't really mean what they say. One is immediately faced with the task of trying to explain away the narrative by ascribing to it allegorical or symbolical meanings. Yes, Scripture does contain symbolical language, but when it does, it is generally quite obvious from the context. [2] The largest problem with "guided evolution" lies in the story of the fall of man in Eden. This event is absolutely foundational to all of Scripture. If man (Adam) evolved from lower forms of life, at what point did this evolving creature become fully a man capable of disobedience and accountable to God? ....... I've studied this issue a great deal and have come to a firm conviction that what God says plainly in Genesis about creation is the way it was. For me at least, it takes less faith and less explaining to believe the biblical account of creation than the theory of evolution, whether Darwin's theory or the hybrid "guided evolution" theory. ...... Please do visit the icr.org web site. I believe you will really enjoy exploring it. ....... Evolution is a theory, nothing more. In all the years since "Origin of Species" was published, the theory has never "evolved" into scientific fact. What bothers me most about the evolutionists is not so much their espousal of the theory but their insistence on teaching it as scientific fact. Now I'm not indicating that you are doing this. ....... A word about Bible geneologies. In view of the great number of geneologies that God's word contains, including two of our Lord in the New Testament, in Matthew and Luke, I would not at all second the statement that "the geneologies argument means nothing." I don't believe the Bible contains anything that means nothing. 2 Timothy 3:16. --Hank |
