Thank you. Have a nice day.
With the thousands of anti-religionist and atheistic books and pamphlets that use evolution to attack Christianity and its teachings contradicting your statement (”No one is using evolution to mock Chrisitianity”)...do you still want to stand by your statement? Do you wonder why I had to ask what you have been smoking?
Besides, many Christians understand the notions of evidence, what they disagree with are the great announcements that crop up periodically(usually not by scientists but by politically motivated “agents of change”) that science has killed God and evolution has driven a stake thru his heart!
The 20th century saw the great holocausts by regimes citing atheism and evolutionary based ideologies as justifications for their mass murders!
There may be an arguement for God directed change over punctuated periods in time that would show some compatibility with the teachings of the Bible as a whole. But the notion that God had nothing to do with the creation of life and its development never will be compatible with Christianity.
Genesis itself depicts a much more intimate creation of man by God directly by His own hand and spiritual essence. The previous levels of creation has God declaring....”Let there be and Let the Earth bring forth...” as though he stood some distance away(spiritually or other wise) impersonally commanding. Evolutionary musings may have some support in those biblically described processes!
When it came to man...the emphasis changes...”Let US create man in our image and likeness”...and God created man from the dust directly breathing life into this being who became a living soul.” It is a very intimate creation. Here is where the compatability arguement for the possible evolution of man and the teachings of Christianity falls apart!
Now for a little science lesson....Moses states that God called the man “Adam” which means red man,blushing man, man of the red mud, or red clay man!
Iron oxide colors red clay...it is also iron that forms the active oxygen binder in the hemoglobin in our blood stream.
Moses would not have known the science of blood when he compiled Genesis...but we understand now how hemoglobin works. God formed man from the red dust of the earth and used the iron in it to form our blood. The OT even teaches us that “blood is the life of a man” . How about that science lesson from 4000 years ago?
