Look; the one thing I have to say about your view (and I don’t doubt your sincerity as a Christian, or that God has renewed you through The Holy Spirit, through belief in His son, as your savior), but I HAVE TO SINCERELY ASK:
Question: How can you claim to believe in Christ’s miracles in the Gospels, the power of God (Through the H.S.) to conduct miracles with NT Believers, OT Prophetic miracles (AND even Propocies Fulfilled!), and then Deny God’s power in Genesis..?
At least how don’t you believe these other examples are “allegory”, but WILL assign it to Genesis..? They are mutally exclusive!
One has lied (Either the Bible is correct: fully, which was referenced as having been true; Aka literal in the NT by several (The Apostle Paul included; I believe..).
Or the “darwinists” have lied (or been mistaken).
Once again I am NOT questioning your Christianity, in fact I probably believe you ARE a True Christian, but I do question your faith in the “scientific theory- theocratic evolution”..in light of the true claims of scripture.

I don’t doubt God’s power in Genesis or elsewhere...ever. I only doubt the ability of man to understand it. I look around me and see the beauty of God’s creation everywhere. I see miracles that could only be performed by God. I know he exists and that he guides my life. (if I let him, which I have a tendancy not to do)
I don’t believe that I have the capacity to understand compeletely what God does, or how he does it. He is God and I am not. I know he has given me a brain and the ability to reason, with the expectation that I will use it. I have taken time to try and understand the basis of the theory, and the evidence that supports it. I have also looked at the information that is presented in contradiction to the theory of evolution. I find the case for evolution convincing, and completely consistent with my understanding of Genesis and my belief in God.
I understand that this isn’t what some believe. I don’t seek to change anyone’s opinion. I just refuse to let someone claim that it isn’t possible to believe in evolution and Jesus. That just isn’t true.
