I really don't see why there needs to be a conflict so long as you don't insist on a literal reading.That's just it. If one simply take a literal reading of Genesis and does not persupose or add the tradition unfounded time line then one can take the reading of Genesis literally and still incorperate all that evolutionist offer. Why compermise faith when one does not have to?
Quote:f you pretend to think evolution could be the chosen method of God to carry out creation, why in the world do you insist on going literal over Adam's rib?Why not?
Quote:on was good enough for everything from amoebas to gorillas but when it came to man .. that took the master's direct intervention? Why?Because God hand crafted a companion in His own image.
Quote:try other creature, wired with the same neurons and procreate in the same manner as other mammals? Is God too feeble to have brought man into being via evolution if He so desired? I lose patience.Thankfully I do not, even though i have addressed this point 3 different times now.
God created the Garden and everything in it apart from the rest of the Earth, as a sanctuary for Man Created in the Image of God.(Meaning Man with a soul or MWAS for short)
Now outside of the Garden Man or what would evolve into man genetically or what i have been calling " Monkey Man" crawled up out of what ever soup you all now magically agree on... He developed on his own and evolved apart from MWAS until the Fall recorded in Genesis.(About 6000 years ago) where upon MWAS and monkey man intermingled and their offspring was given the gift of a soul. Until The great flood. Where upon all Monkey men were wiped out, and only MWAS (Noah and His family) was their to repopulate the earth with more MWAS.
