Little something to think about... (Jesus, Earth, evolution, creation)

[scitsofreaky]

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, so it has always existed. Just because we cannot understand something always existing, doesn't mean it hasn't.

There has been so much proof for evolution

So much proof...

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, so it has always existed. Just because we cannot understand something always existing, doesn't mean it hasn't.

I understand that God has always existed, so I understand that something could have always existed. I'm saying that it had to have been put there, because energy can't create itself. It had to have been created.

God uses any tool he wants, and that includes evolution. Evolution and God are not mutually exclusive.

True, God does use any tool he wants. But where does it say that God used evolution in the Bible? Its talking about a literal 7 days!

It had to have been created.

Why? If it has always existed, then it wasn't created. Perhaps what you think of as God is really just energy.

True, God does use any tool he wants. But where does it say that God used evolution in the Bible? Its talking about a literal 7 days!

Where does it say to take the story of creation literally?

The bible is not a text book on biology. Why would it mention evolution? It doesn't mention Newtonian physics, either, but does that mean that inertia doesn't exist?

In Genesis 1 it clearly says that God created the Heavens and the earth and He did so in 7 literal days. I'm not talking about anything else.

The description of creation in Genesis seems to me more poetic than factual.

[scitsofreaky]

I agree with sunstone. It doesn't say God created everything in literally 7 days. In fact, days hadn't even been created when he started.

[JesusIsTheWay]

If the Genesis 1 account is more poetic then factual, then why is it that the literal creation of earth(and everything else) is referred to as an actual event in the Bible? And because it sounds poetic does that mean its not true?

[Sunstone]

When have poets not told their stories as if their stories were true?

Your inquistive, questioning nature really does you proud.
