Yes they are mutually exclusive, sorry.

Macro-evolution and god aren't incompatible.

Macro-evolution and God are.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Larry Witham in his capacity as one of the Religion writers for the Washington Times. I'd be inclined to pick up his book and have a look.

That God created "all things visible and invisible" is an iron-clad Biblical truth; how He did it doesn't meet the same standard, IMHO.

One thing seems to be forgotten in all this debate. The Scripture states that "death entered into the world through one man." That man was Adam. Now is death did not begin until Adam sinned, then evolution can't stand. Evolution needs "billions and billions" of years to work and all the while death is occurring as the strong survive. Death cannot exist before Adam, the Scripture says so.

If we are all to believe in creation, the real battle is to determine which creation. Is this the one?

Tsimshian Creation Story

At the beginning of the world it was covered in darkness. A chief, a chieftianess and son lived at Kungalas. Although the child was greatly loved, he died without cause. The whole tribe mourned each day beside the boy's lifeless body. One morning instead of her dead son the chieftainess witnessed the rising of a boy out of her son's body which burned brightly. She was overjoyed to see her son come back to life. This glowing boy grew large until his father began to call him a giant. Giant boy ate most of the tribe's food, so his father sent him over the sea to find more to eat. Giant boy flew inland and took with him a stone, a raven blanket and a dried bladder full of berries. He dropped the stone in the ocean and rested upon it. Each time he dropped a stone and rested he created a new rocky island. Giant Boy scattered the berries across the land and created a forest filled with fruit. He scattered the salmon roe and trout roe into the rivers to create an abundance of fish. From this day Giant Boy never lacked food in the new world.

Evolution implies that there was an extraordinary amount of time between the creation days.

Using the Bible as a guide makes this impossible.

The Lord created all plant life on the third day and then our sun and moon on the fourth day.

Being that the Lord cause all things to reproduce after their own kind, there could not have been a long period of time between those days. The plants needed the sun to survive then, just like they do now.

Some try to state that the creation days were 1,000 years long, based on misinterpretation of other scriptures. If that were true, then there had to have been 500 years of darkness immediately after the plant life was created, followed by 500 years of light. The plant life would not have survived that.

I'll repeat what transpired in out local discussion.

"You're the MORON! The important thing is that evolution is science, creationism, or ID is superstition. When was the last time you heard of teaching Astrology in a science class."

So we might as well teach astrology.

Evolution and God Aren't Mutually Exclusive

This guy misses it. . .that's not the issue. The issue is the protectionism that evols display in not wanting any questions about the theory of evolution raised.

My question to all 'Christians' who believe in evolution is:
At what point along the evolutionary line did man acquire a soul?

Science and religion can co-exist.
