Also - the "possibilities" in Genesis do not require that I dissasociate myself fully from the science of the ToE. Yet the implicative atheistic/nihilistic conclusion of many, shall be swiftly a no go area for me, as that is totally against my beliefs - and the truth of the bible.
I agree. No one should use the ToE as a basis for constructing a worldview. Many theistic evolutionists look at the evolution of man through evolution as a wonderous miracle. The ToE does not require one to become an atheist and take a bleak outlook on life.
quote:
So this means I leave the door open to the possibility that God "let the earth" produce animals via evolution, and so - I accept evolution is one possibility of how this happened. But I do not think humans were brought forth like this - and also the text indicates that God supernaturally created magnificent creatures, ex nihilo. And so - I am more against abiogenesis, and the part of the evolution theory which says all life is from a common ancestor.
I'm still a bit confused. So you accept the ToE as being accurate, but you still believe in created kinds? Do I have this right?
