TOE is heaped with preconceived beliefs that have been used to establish what is called the scientific method. And that system is fenced off like others religious holy sites or relics.
Genesis says kind after kind, DNA this day demonstrates that is the case. Now somewhere out there in the realm of a preconceived belief the scientific method decided that time is the missing link to devolve or evolve into the literal living breathing evidence this day. NOT even the literal word of Genesis says there was only one fully grown male and one fully grown adult female human formed.
Any fair reading of Genesis is consistent with the general state of knowledge of the world at the time it was written. Thus it assumed that the world’s creatures were created in the final form, which is clearly not the case.
In order to narrow the debate, I find it helpful to ask the following questions:
Do you believe that the earth is around 4,500,000,000 years old? If not, how old is it? Do you believe that the universe came into being about 12 to 14 billion years ago? If not, how old is the universe?
Do you believe that the first life forms on earth were primitive one celled organisms? If not, what were the first organisms? How long after the earth was populated by one cell organisms did the first mutlicellular organisms arise? What sort of organisms were these?
Thanks for your indulgence.
