Science + Creation

[FallentoReason]

That said the primary problem with this theory is that the further away one gets from the anomaly the slower time becomes. So by the 5th or 6th pot, time would have passed much slower than the 1st or 2nd. Which would distort the blocks of time being segregated into days. In essence the first day/pot would contain more concentrated time than the other 6. Therefore that unit of measure would not be consistent with what has been deemed as a "day." Because days are consistent allotments of time.

Sorry, it's kind of late here and my brain is not cooperating so much right now. I don't know if I've got it wrong, but it sounds to me like you agree with the video? The video is saying that the 6 days aren't 24 hour periods but varying amounts of time because of time itself not being constant.

My effort in the evolution thread is built on a literal six days:
Very simply put, I point out their is no time line between the creation of man and the fall of man. I also point out that outside of details of creation itself everything mentioned, takes place in the Garden. Basically between the four rivers that define it, God created a picture of the world that would be consistent with the evolutionary progress of man at the time of the fall.

Ah yes, I think I remember reading this from you. Were you saying that the Garden was basically running at a different time rate than the rest of the universe?

Evolved man or "monkey man" is man without a soul, and In the Garden Man created in the image of God, would be man with a soul. That would leave room for whole complete fossil record that could not biblically be reconciled. It also explains the city Cain moved to and the wives and husbands the children of Adam and Eve took for themselves. (They intermingled with monkey man/woman and pass their gift onto their children.)

I have only taken the face value account of Genesis and lined the holes up with the holes in the evolutionary account of origins and they fit together perfectly.

From the above quotes and the other bits of your post, I can see how everything would fit together better. And like you said:

Why is it important to distance this theory from Gap creation theory?? Because it combines the unmolested Genesis account AS RECORDED IN THE BIBLE, with the evolutionary data we have discovered and can not other wise reconcile. Without Adding anything to scripture or taking anything away. This also explains several other creation "paradoxes" that atheist tend to use to disprove the genesis account.

But the thing is that there's no traction between reality and Genesis. I agree with you that evolution would fit into Genesis as you have explained, but the two still feel 'detached' in a way. It's kind of like having two jigsaw puzzle pieces that seem to fit together but don't interlock perfectly with them touching 100%. Rather it's like the 'holey' piece and the 'fist' piece (I'm referring to the features that make them interlock) have space between them. So we could very well change a few assumptions about the interpretation of Genesis and it could still look like reality and Genesis fit together but there seems to be no real connection.
