I have sought out this forum because i had a thought last night that has been eating at me and wondered if anyone else has ever proposed this.
Is evolution a part of creation?
Science is quickly proving that evolution is true. A few hundred years ago science proved that the world is round. This went against everything historically believed and was integrated into common belief without changing the teachings of any religion. Will evolution be integrated the same way?
Let me propose the thought that god is growing and thus had to grow from something lesser to become the being capable of creating what we see around us. This leads us to the thought that an immature or inexperienced god could have created our planet in its most primitive form. This showing that creation is true but happened billions of years before our understanding. Now this childlike god continued with creation in an orderly form and continued to practice, as a any professional begins with tiny menial tasks in their trade to learn the more complex works that they will later be known for. In the time that it took for the earth to cool and life to spring forth and pass through it’s ages, our god was able to learn and mature.
Creationism tells us that the world was created in a short period of time only a short time ago. This statement on its own cannot be true, however we may simple be interpreting it poorly. What if consciousness, souls, self awareness and intelligence were created as creationism states and they were a product of god’s studies in evolution.
Am I on the right track? Could this theory be the balance that can find harmony between these two passionate sides of a needless argument?
