>>No, God is clear about His attributes, including the fact that he is omniscient, is not bound by time, and is not bound by our physical laws. He raises the dead, for one thing. He appeared to Moses in a burning bush, but the bush was not burnt. Etc.<<
I believe I covered miracles upthread. Whether God used Evolution as His method to create us or zapped it all into existence it makes no difference to His Powers. But why would He then create billions of interrelated and correlated pieces of evidence to something that never happened?
>>You posit God the Liar. Why would He lie to His people?<<
He never lied to his children. He spoke in the only terms they could understand and made it clear He created this Earth for the benefit of His Children.
Well, I guess you and I agree that He never lied. You are assuming he wrote Genesis as some sort of easily digested allegorical tale, because men at that time couldn’t have understood it. I think men at the time of creation were just as intelligent as we are now, and could have accepted evolution, if God told them that’s what he did.
It could have read like:
“In the beginning, God made matter. He began to create life using the energy of lightning and heat and pressure. Small creatures, smaller than your eye can see, began to appear. Slowly over millions of year, He caused these creatures to adapt and grow and change. Leaving some as they were, He caused others to grow into small plants, then animals and birds. Some of they changed over millions of years into animals. Finally, God caused the apes to evolve in mankind. He named the first man Adam”. . . etc.
That’s just as understandable as Genesis 1 is now.
