Ok
First Davxor, I really dont have any foundation to believe this except my observation that prophecies seem to pass which are orginiated in the biblical account, and also my observation that the evolution of life does seem relevent when considering truth, thus we must consider both to be true, but I first want to state my perspective.
My Perspective: I am a Creationist that believes in "Thiestic Evolution" because of a order of evidences which suggest Evolution happend with a Creator in the begining. Which means, that there was a Creation event, perhaps not in the same order that the "Biblical Creation Account" presents but near to the same level that is WRT understanding that their was a begining. I think that this "Divine Creator", yes the "Biblical one", was the stimulate to help the Evolution process and he created the world so that it would evolve to what it was 6-10,000 years ago WRT our species.
Understanding that, I also believe that Moses and all the other prophets in the Bible are prophets of God based on the assumption that the Creation allowed evolution to take place (based from the statment in gene 1,2 that each species would bring forth "kind" after its "kind" untill such time God/Elohim felt that It was time to explain himself. I dont think anypart of the Bible specifically presents that this is a impossible idea unless you feel that the Bible is literal. You must first understand that the first and second chapter of Genesis contradict eachother and as such you cannot say they are literal but perhaps a memory of Moses when the account was written.
Anyways, I want to state that I have been a Creationst for a long time and I defended Creationism for a longtime, you must understand there is evidence for evolution. I am still a creationist in the form of a Thiestic Evolutionist. (Yes I still believe in Jesus)
