Darwin apparently had NO clue why this flesh age was set in motion. Peter says there are three different heaven/earth ages. And in Genesis where Moses records the creation account Moses does not say the soul/spirit was created, but that the the flesh being was not alive until the breath of life which means soul was breathed into the nostril of the Adam.
Christ Himself tells Nicodemus that "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born *from above*, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Now for whatever reason(s) most translations wrongly put the word *again* in place of *from above* and some will even make the word again a religion. However, in verse 13 Christ leaves no doubt about which word He used. 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He That came down from heaven, even the Son of man Which is in heaven.
Darwin's whole theory is that the Heavenly Father did not create the creatures of this flesh age like He had Moses pen in Genesis. And Peter tells us how long a day with the Lord is so there is no reason to question how long a day is in the account Moses penned. Either one believes the Heavenly Father did what is recorded or they do not and according to Darwin he did not believe.
I take from your response that you have not read anything by or about Darwin except the excerpts in the Religion forum on FR or in your church bulletin. I also see that you prefer to advance your case in the method of authority. I would prefer to stay in the realm of science.
Charles Darwin shared some of the same thoughts on the compatibility of science and faith, evolution and creation, that have recently been expressed by Pope Benedict XVI and the Roman Catholic Church. I hold the same belief. For some here on FR that will be further evidence that Rome is somewhere in the southwest corner of hell and that Benedict XVI is an "evo-atheist". I contend that Darwin's works only serve to further reveal the beauty of God's work.
