Unlike many people, i believe there being two or two parts of the creation because the Bible appears to be describing that
I realize that lots of Church denominations are now going along with science because science is of the world, not because they read it in the bible.
And the more i read from people who are pretending to be scientists the less stock i put in it.
I think you could go back even before the Age of Enlightenment -- i.e., our Founding Fathers -- to theological philosophers like St. Aquinas, St. Augustine, and even the pagan Aristotle and there you will see distinctions drawn between scientific "materialism" and religious spiritualism.
They are two separate realms, the truths of one not necessarily relating to those of the other.
I mentioned before, Genesis is all about the spiritual relationship between imperfect, sinful mankind and Almighty God.
That same idea could be told any number of different ways, metaphorically, historically, even scientifically, and it still comes out meaning the same thing.
So no scientific theory, no archaeological discovery, no historical revisionism can ever possibly change that idea, because the idea is not about those things -- instead it's about God's love and promise, mankind's sin and downfall, and eventually His offer of salvation.
Nothing science theorizes or hypothesizes can change that, FRiend.
And that's why most Christian churches don't get all worked up and excited by every new scientific discovery or theory.

All the people "pretending to be scientists" on these threads are anti-evolutionists pretending they have some "scientifically" based ideas to discredit evolution theory.
In fact, their bottom line is always that evolution does not fit into their particular interpretations of Genesis and other biblical verses, and that's why anti-evolutionists consider it wrong.
If God wanted us to live in Bible World, we could still breed ringstraked, speckled, and spotted sheep with nothing more than peeled sticks.
Try it and report back to us, 'mkay?
