Yes. Do you see the people of that time understanding the scientific mechanisms used that allowed for life to come in existence as it is now?
The point was to let them know that God was the reason for life.
Excellent!
Ha, we're not much closer NOW to understanding!
We THINK we know, so we run ourselves ragged trying desperately to explain everything without the need for a Creator.
IF you believe in an omnipotent God, then why could He not have created as Genesis implies?
I have seen many television specials aimed at children that explain the evolutionist viewpoint.
If G-d does indeed exist then He is likely as creative as the TV show producers. And the people of Moses' day were very intelligent, if not as technologically advanced as we are today.
I think they could have understood a lot more than He gave them. But I would not object to the most simplistic analogy being used. I would object to absolute falsehood.
Shalom.
What do you believe those mechanisms are? In other words, what theory for the origins of life do you subscibe to? The reason I ask is that, as I posted earlier, it is my understanding that there have been half a dozen or so theories put forth in the last 50 years to account for a naturalistic origin of life but all have pretty much fallen out of favor. I am not flaming here, I am actually really interested.
