It's truly fascinating to me that some would actually deny the possibility that God 'created' evolution. It's almost as if some honestly believe it's beyond God's power to do so, yet they go on to talk about how God's power is infinite.

It's really quite simple. God cannot lie.

Ok, so I can do something that God can't (huh?) and my original statement continues to remain unanswered. Ok.

Who exactly is saying that God lied? There are many interpretations of the Scriptures that are held by many people. Are you saying that yours in the only one that could possibly be correct? Is it impossible that you have misunderstood something in the Bible? There are interpretations of the Scriptures that are perfectly compatible with evolution, so if you believe that evolution implies that God lied, you must believe that your interpretation is the only one that could possibly be valid. I have even shown how, with the proper understanding of the nature of time as explained by the general theory of relativity, a literal interpretation of the creation story in Genesis is compatible with modern science.

So how was it that Noah got all those animals into the Ark? And how was it that all those dry land plants survived that Noah didn't bring with him?

If you're going to have some hyper-litteral interpretation of the early parts of Genesis, then you're going to have to explain some things.

On the other hand, if you can say that these were merely parables, like the ones that Jesus told, then Evolution fits into Genesis just fine.

> God cannot lie.

Izzat so? Hmm.
2 Thessalonians, Chapter 2: "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie"
