A question about evolution

Hi Micah8294 and welcome.I am a committed Christian and I would suggest to you that the truth about evolutionary theory is absolutely immaterial to the Christian faith. Yes, there are immense truths to be learned form Genesis but one of them is not to answer scientific questions about how God created the world.The belief in an inerrant Bible is a form of idol worship. As the writer of the Gospel of John says; "The Word became flesh", he did not say that the Word became a book or more precisely a collection of books. As I have said to others on this forum, it is Christianity and not Biblianity. Yes, God does reach out to us through the Bible, but if we try and read it as inerrant, and with a 21st century mindset, we will never understand what God might be trying to tell us.I suggest that you focus of what Jesus has to say and read the Bible through that lens. You might notice in the "Sermon on the Mount" alone the number times Jesus corrects what is written in the OT. You will also notice Him saying things like; Moses told you this but I tell you this. He doesn't say that God told you this.Our ability to reason is a gift from God. It says in Leviticus that anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be stoned to death by the community. You use reason to say that we probably shouldn't be doing that. We should use that gift of reason to approach all of the Bible. Certainly we aren't going to agree on all sorts of things, but if we believe that because it says something in the Bible it is to be taken as having been dictated by God, then we have sidelined our gift of reason and that belief will likely cause us to badly misconstrue the true nature and message of God.Edited by GDR, : typo
