Better to trust scripture and not Darwin

Oh yes...the study of gods world is the work given to Adam by god.
Science is God's idea...


So what I'm saying is that evolution and Genesis work hand in hand while YEC runs counter to both science AND the bible

Alan, what you are saying is your opinion and you happen to be wrong. The bible gives a truthful
and factually accurate account of Creation which doesn't mention evolution in any way, shape or form.
The scripture does not leave room for theories or foolish guesses, God created Adam and Eve fully
human and adult and it did not take Him billions of years with much death, suffering and unreliable
mutations. The scripture tells us that God looked at everything He had made and said it was very
good. He didn't look at what He put in motion and say "in a billion years after much death and sin
and a 50/50 probability it may be very good".

as I have said before, evolution is not taught in the story of Genesis, but what we do read works with the teachings of evolution.


In evolution we find that alllifeis traced back to the earth itself...that the very forst pre-life building blocksof alllife on the earth are from this very earth itself.
In evolutionwe are apartof this earth that hascometolife.


is this any different in the Bible?.......

To find out, just answer this one question- According to genesis 3:19 where is mankind from originally?

There is no end to the list of things that are not talked in the bible...yet that does not mean they are wrong.

In genesis we have a story that works WITH evolution.

consider-

Where does evolution trace back all life to at the start?....the earth
Where does Genesis trace back all life to at the start?.....the earth.


So evolution is in perfect harmony with Genesis as to the origin of life on this world.

Evolution and genesis come at this question from two very different points of view, but because they both are describing the very same moments in earth's history , we find them in agreement!

Amazing, the amount of distrust granted back to us from the amount of truth WE put on the table. Rendered unfit for to attest to the truth. It is to the point now of ministering to ourselves when we visit w/you, seeing your ripe dislike of our contemplation which now is in mgt of sanity. Who cares? The submitted? But it's all gone. HERE WE GO AGAIN, , disregard piled-higher than reason will allow the spiritual mind.

Let me go over just a few of the things I disagree with the teaching of the Young Earth Creation gang.

In Young Earth Creationism (YEC) the earth is created before the sun.
I believe the sun and stars are said to be created in the beginning.

in YEC there is a "light" created before there is any source for that light.
I believe all the light talked about in Genesis has a normal source, the same source we see today in the sky...(the sun and stars)

in YEC the stars are made on the 4th Day
I believe the stars are first said to be created in the beginning.

in YEC life on the earth is not all connected to a source, and that animals and humans are from a different source.
I believe there is a common source for all life, both human and all animals.

In YEC the earth is created with seas from the start.
I believe the earth was created as a dead and dry world and was later covered by seas.

In YEC the earth is in darkness because God had yet to make the light.
I believe the earth is said to be in "darkness" only due to thick clouds.

In YEC the word "day" can only be understood to be talking about 24 hours.
I believe that the 7th Day of the Genesis creation week has no ending in the Bible, and thus we are still in that as -yet, un-ended day....this is still the 7th day!
