Oh, sorry I misinterpreted your post. I agree. If there is to be faith and “fundamentalism” in the words in the bible then you have to come to grips in what are seemingly contradictory points.

But I disagree in your description of what evo’s believe. They believe life began accidentally after billions of years of toxic soups mixing with a small barely living life form that just had likely a few lines of RNA. From that simple “life form” more and more advanced creatures came. The problem I have with that isn’t that a very simplistic life form could be accidentally created it’s the replication mechanism that befuddles me. In order to evolve you must be able to replicate.

The RNA first hypothesis is just one of many. No one has yet succeded in creating life that way. MOre likely you can "create life" simply by compressing water to 50,000 atmospheres pressure (which creates an appropriate molecular formation), then "seeding it" with the stuff needed for ATP production.

Could be as simple as that. Waiting for laboratory proof. This one is more doable than the others (which haven't worked).
