Snap! (Deist, evolution, creation, genesis, atheist)

As a Christian I have no problem in accepting evolution.
God wrote the "Creation/Evolution Program" then snapped his fingers to start it, THAT was the Big Bang ;)

That's a good view to have.

This way, the natural history museams you visit won't have saddles on the triceratops.

Did your God create fowl (the day) before He created land-based insects?

Cute, I pretty much agree. Since it is a programmed reality, though, it is necessarily also a Simulation...I feel a thread coming on.

BTW, you just started this thread to annoy the Atheists, didn't you? Go on, admit it...

What kind of museums do you visit?
Are you stuck in the Bible Belt or are you lost in Dinotopia?

I don't think England has a bible belt.

I saw a documentary where some guy visited a Creationist Museam somewhere in the US, i forget where. Scary stuff. People riding triceratops stuck in my mind.

I'm think this guy subscribes to a Deist sort of creation Jay - set it all up and let it run itself kind of thing, rather than the Genesis step-by-step Creation. At least i hope he does.

Would this not render our self-proclaimed Christian a believer in the Son of an impersonal God?

We'll have to see what he says.

Although i don't see why a non-literal belief in the biblical creation story would necessarily render God impersonal.

It wouldn't. Suggesting "a Deist sort of creation Jay - set it all up and let it run itself kind of thing, rather than the Genesis step-by-step Creation" suggests a Diest God.
