Creation/God...Christianity---secular-govt.-humanism/SCIENCE---CIVILIZATION!
Originally the word liberal meant social conservatives(NO govt religion-EVOLUTION-none) who advocated growth and progress---mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality... UNDER GOD---the nature of GOD/man/govt. does not change. These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(common sense/history)!

First, I plan to get viscous, not viscious.
"were created by God and were not the result of an evolutionary process"
Why couldn't God create a world WITH evolutionary processes if he pleased? I think these debates are sooo off the mark.
To: yankeedame; VadeRetro; PatrickHenry; general_re
Our purpose is to equip Christians to be able to defend Christianity against the evolutionary ideas (or) secular ideas that challenge the Bible, Do evolutionary ideas challenge the Bible? Or are they picking a fight keep the faithful from questioning anything?

VISCIOUSI'm sorry, I'm not tracking with you... Are you saying I misspelled it or that you did? I spelled the word I meant to use correctly. My Oxford's doesn't show any definitions for viscious- now viscous, that's a different matter. At any rate that's just what I'm talking about ;-)

OK, here is my theory (well not originally mine, but the one I believe may be the answer to the conflict, its called the "Gap Theory").....
The first verse of Genesis begins: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." He created, but when it does not say. Perhaps eons ago. Prehistoric creatures were put here to walk the earth. They left a lot of fossil remains as they died out from natural causes, perhaps a meteor.
The Bible goes on in verse 2 to say: "The earth was formless and void and darkness was over the surface of the waters."
I have read that the hebrew word for "void" suggested something that once was and then was really messed up. Perhaps the war that the Bible later mentions between the angels of heaven where one-third of the angels follows Satan and gets kicked out of heaven, really messed up the earth, made it "void" and dark.
Now God looks upon the earth again and says in verse three: "Let there be light".... there already was a sun and moon, created eons before, He just lifted the darkness surrounding the messed up earth and let the sun once more shine upon the earth, and began the literal seven days of the new creation of earth in which he would this time instead of dinosaures put other creatures and man upon the earth.
It is a plausable explianation that allows responsible science to coincide with the Bible. I do not believe Darwin's theory to be "responsible" science as there are too many descrepancies (the main one being the odds on amino acids just by chance forming into complex "life" are just too great to believe that happened by chance. The Bible has no contradictions.... only misunderstandings of men reading into it more than is there. The Bible has mysteries that are not readily clear because this helps to separate the believers from the non-believers. The believers take the Bible first on FAITH..... then one by one the mysteries begin to become clear as the Holy Spirit reveals them to us.
Go ahead and call me stupid or nieve, but all I can say is.... we will see one day!

"How'd the coal get put in so deep ?" Did you read what I wrote... or like most people thump it off as stupid before reading? The coal was formed during the eons of time between verse one and verse 2... thats why its called the "Gap Theory".
