Christian answering questions.

[abaris]

It took 3.5 billion years for the biomass in the crust of the earth to accumulate to be used by mankind; God gave the Genesis account of animal and plant preceding Man's arrival; this would be an example of scripture and science aligning. Why Man? Two main reasons for God creating the universe revolve around human beings (different then the animals, since they have been made in God's image, a spirit, therefore have eternal value): God's conquest of evil, and man's redemption.

I'm quoting this mainly because I'm seriously interested in how old earth christinatiy works. How do you make ends meet with the christian god, mainly concerned over humans, in lights of what we know about the world, it's history and it's development?

I for one never could.
