Hi Egan, you make a good point.

I agree to a point. Though I don't believe humans came from fish swimming in the Ocean and I do believe God created us from scratch. - I do feel that He is constantly perfecting His Artwork, and also has implanted genes in all living creatures to adapt to it's surroundings and change accordingly.

In that respect, I feel God uses Evolution as a means of constant growth and improvement. Not to grow is to backslide in the spiritual as well as in the physical.

I dont see the Evolution in the same way the Scientists see it though.

Also, I feel that in the book of Genesis, We read how God walked the Earth and was saddened at all the destruction on the earth. He decided to RESTORE it and He separated the Elements and created life. This leads us to realize that Earth had life on it (the dinasours, etc) until something was permitted to destroy it.--such as a meteor. Then God restored the ruins.

My pastor once mentioned He feels that this destruction from a meteor could have been a reprecussion that happened in the physical dimension after Satan withdrew from God and fell from Heaven. He said that when some decision is made on the spiritual Plane, there are reprecussions in the physical. Like a pebble thrown in the water making ripple effects.
