Actually, when you read and study the Hebrew version of Genesis, you find so many aspects of the Bible that you could fit evolution, preexistent earth and this find in without a major problem.

Genesis is lean as a text and what it DOESN'T say is larger than what is written. As Luther says, don't try to figure out what the Bible does not tell us - that is for God to answer.

However, so much of the Bible has been proven true, that I have no problem with finds such as this - we just don't have all the answers yet. Yeah, yeah some may flame away - but they do so only in their ignorance :)

I got caned as a 13 year old when I visited my Uncle's "Christian school" at an abandoned Nike missle base in New Jersey (kinda sets the tone, doesn't it? He was kicked out of Bob Jones for being too extreme a fundamentalist!) because I dared to suggest that I saw no conflict between Genesis and evolution. It never affected my opinion of God, Christ or the Bible in any way.

The problem is not God or the reality of God's creation. the problem is always with our understanding.

We all struggle with understanding. Right now I'm overwhelmed with the feeling that we are facing a supreme test and the ultimate enemy. We (human civilazation) haven't faced this big a threat in at least 60 plus years, and maybe not for over a thousand.

We are now facing our trial.We do have the right person leading us. Do we have what it takes to back him up?
