There is no other interpretation of evolution except "anti-theistic".

I disagree. Most of what passes for evolution today is colored by the anti-theistic attitudes of Darwin's supporters. I don't have any problem with the idea of God creating the building blocks of life and putting it on its course, since He would be the One to define what each stage of the Creation would be. Just because it doesn't conform to the Six Day Creation idea, doesn't make it any less possible. After all, who are we to say how long God's days were during this time of Creation? Man was created last, and wasn't around to write down the events as they happened anyway.

I understand that you and others don't have a problem with it, but some of us do, because it diminishes God's words. These are our thoughts just like you have your thoughts, and I wish people on these threads (I'm not talking about you SuziQ) would realize that. To us, evolution is not compatible with what the Bible says, because we believe in the literal interpretation. I think the reason Creationist get so passionate about it is because it (creation, sin, death, restoration) is the very foundation for the rest of the Bible. That's why we think there is no opening for evolution. That's my take anyway.

Moses penned Genesis and IF I am required to believe other parts of Genesis as being Biblical then I am certainly not going to ignore what he begins with.

Our whole foreign policy is based upon one scripture out of Genesis. "...............And I will bless then that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

"After all, who are we to say how long God's days were during this time of Creation?"

Do you think that's why the Bible says "and there was evening and morning" for each of the 6 days of Creation?

So you would know that they're 24-hour days?

I don't have any problem with the idea of God creating the building blocks of life and putting it on its course...

But what would be the purpose of employing a transitional system. Philosophically speaking, the only benefit I can see is for man to understand the causality of nature. But this can be accomplished without the existence of evolution.

Tell, me, what, in your opinion, do you think would be beneficial for both God and man:

1)understanding the causality of nature through evolution
2)understanding the causality of God through creation
