God could have created the world and life any way he wanted. He chose evolution. Why? We don't know, but the Bible tells us God's ways are not our ways.
Plus what kind of a loving God uses principles like survival of the fittest?
Why not?
What makes this pastor or any other so-called "christian evolutionist" think a God who gives us evolution and an untruthful/unreliable book of "poetry" and myths is therefore, interested in or capable of helping us in our lives? I would say their version of God's "word" is nothing more than a rusty bucket full of holes, incapable of watering anything but the ground.
There's nothing unreliable about the Bible, nor does it contain any holes, so long as it is used as intend: as a source of spiritual and moral truth. It is not intended to be a science textbook.
Why not?
Becaus it keeps you on your toes.
