What don't you get specifically? God created the garden and everything in it on the third day to reflect the evolutionary process of this world and man at the time of the fall. (As per genesis2) Meaning genetically Adam and everything in the garden was a true representation of life about 5 or 6 thousand years ago on the third day of creation.
Did I say I don't get something? Specifically I was wanting to know if you somehow rectified reality with the Bible or denied the evidence altogether. Being it the former, I'd like to kno specific details about what you believe Neanderthals were, for instance, and where they lie on your 'timeline'. Also how on earth you think two people populated a world, which was then completely flooded (without evidence for such a. event) save for a family, then repopulated to our current state in a 5-6k yr time period? I mean have you seen the Archaeological history of human beings?
Drich Wrote:To directly answer your question, This means after the sixth day of creation everything could have happened just as the 'smart' people at si.edu thinks it happened or not. In the end Who cares because no matter what the current generation thinks happened in the evolutionary process, it still fits well with in the confines of creation.
Oh wreally?
Care to demonstrate?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
