Forever Faithful: A Question for Creationists

As I stated before, evolution does not fit into the Biblical worldview, so it would be contradictory and illogical for me to say I believe the Bible and also evolution which contradicts the Bible.

sorry. wrong. evolution doesn't fit into a modern literalist biblical worldview. but. the verb that is used when god 'creates' man... yeah. that's a process verb. it denotes an unfinished work. they have magical grammar those hebrews (*cream*). i don't understand this as well as some, being only a passive observer, but i get it and i think it's quite possible that the bible supports evolution. my point is. why couldn't god have used biological evolution? why do you insist on putting god into a box?

well see. it wasn't an original story. billy-bob stole it from several other sources of 'star-crossed lovers' such as pyramus and thisbe.

well the universe is expanding (which i think rather supports a continuously working and creative god... but i'm a weirdo.) so it doesn't really have an end because before you can reach it, it's moved. and what is beyond the finite universe? the infinite. that's all god is. the outside.and

Bingo theres your answer "Modern". Its just todays evolutionized world insisting God still exists among a naturalist worldview. Unfortunately it doesnt work that way. why not? besides. why does god have to be christian anyways?We arent putting noone in no box, Its what his word says. He gave us a 7-day week after his 7-day creation.
um. i'd refer you to someone who has done some small research into differing views on that among jewish tradition... you know... the people who first owned the book... but you probably wouldn't care.

In the Hebrew Bible. Day meant a literal day.

whether a day meant a day or not it doesn't matter. don't put words in my mouth or assume my arguments.the point is, there is a very common jewish tradition of interpretation in which it took god a day to EXPLAIN to moses HOW he made the world.but you would be wrong in making assumptions about 'the hebrew bible' since you are not jewish, and the people you get your information from are misinformed.
