Very interesting...
Well I guess you know your limitations better than i do.
Once again, I have taught a great deal about how Genesis and Evolution walk hand-in-hand and offer the Christian Bible student a very well-rounded understanding of early Earth history.
genesis and evolution teach us about the same events in Earth's history, but do so from two different points of view.....this is why they may use different words and terms, but yet have a harmony between them.
Lets turn to a few of the issues that I learned about from my study of the Bible,and see how it compares to what I learned from my time in Ken Ham's 8 week ORIGINS cl***?
The Bible-
If we open our Bible what we find is that the very first things God is said to have created in the "Heavens and the earth"
We also know that the words "heavens" can mean a few things in different context, and we know that the term "Heavens can be used to talk about all the stars in the sky, as well as all the other things that were created out there in the darkness of the night sky. (stars like our sun, all the worlds, the galaxy etc)
So the Bible says God created the stars first.
In Evolution/science-
In evolution and in science we learn that in the event of the Big bang all the things that came later were created. allthe Stars date from this one moment in time.
And we learn that stars like our own sun are partof an unending evolution of star material that goesback Billions of years but it all started with the Big bang.
So in evolution/science we find that stars are created first in the beginning.
In Young Earth Creationism-
In YEC we learn that God made a type of mysterious light that he used in the opening of Genesis, (a source-less light) and that later in the creation week God made the sun and the moon after he had made the earth...and that Stars are first made many days after the creation of the earth and seas.
the conclusion?
The conclusion is that Young Earth Creationism is a false teaching not based on the Bible!
The conclusion is that science and the bible are in agreement.
