s Ikester has listed, the beliefs of Evolution and Creation are polar opposites. I have also listed the same somewhere in a previous post. The same argument frequently comes up "evolution can be reconciled with creation". This is not even honest, let alone plausible. Either one must make a liar out of God, or a liar out of man with this belief. Consider that God created all things in the beginning, GOOD. Our world, according to God, did not arise out of many years of death/suffering and evolution. Rather it began as He intended (perfect). Free from the effects of sin, death did not exist. What kind of God would create the world from the getgo with death and suffering, if nobody had yet exercised their free will? It was DISOBEDIENCE, that brought the curse. And the disobedience came from two people who had FULL knowledge of right and wrong. Degenerates they were not. Nor were they half evolved creatures, with half evolved knowledge. They were perfect in form and intellect, made in the image of God. These were the first two people God Himself created and God being perfect and unlimited, hardly needed a rough copy! or a drawing board to sit around and wait for it all to evolve over millions of years of death and suffering, since He Himself tells us all things were created good. Rather, it is original sin that has set the path for degeneration as time has gone on. Ageing, sickness/suffering, death, survival of the "fittest" are the result, NOT the starting point.
Hmmm...I guess with is why I don't believe in creationism. It just doesn't make sense to me even after seeing all that I've seen. I really feel that many parts of the bible (old testament) are symbolic to mans nature but I personally don't believe they should be interpreted literally. When one has deep spiritual visions they are crammed with symbolism...anyone who has visions or even dreams can tell you this...and a lot of the old testament was recorded by people who have had grand visions of god. Anyway...Thanks Linear, your responses in this thread have been consistently pointing out what I thought should be pointed out, so I appreciate you saving me the time  .
