Thats like saying I believe this manual about how to make a computer is correct, but the part about the memory chip is just an allegory. I don't need the memory in the computer.
Don't talk to me about it talk to your fundamentalist Christian brothers they will tell you according to the Bible evolution didn't happen.

Yes, and then God took a rest. Sometime after that, he made Eve. And since then, neither beast, nor man, nor God has rested.
Some Fem got MANkind evicted. Can we sue for reparations? A Class Action Suit, with JWH as the witness.

I guess I don't really understand your question. Of course animals would be created first - Adam and Eve had to eat, didn't they??? LOL
Seriously, though what does being a believer in Christ have to do with one's belief in creation or evolution? Christ was born some time later, you know.
According to your reasoning, only Christians must believe in creationism, right? Well you are mistaken if you believe this. Many religions preach creationism, and are not believers in Jesus Christ.
However, I know that some sects of Christianity do believe that Jesus Christ is God and therefore he created the earth. Others believe that Jesus created the earth through the power of the Father.
However, I still don't see how any of that has anything to do with one's belief in evolutionism or creationism. The method used by God to create the universe and to create man is not described in scripture. We have not been given that information. People are left to ponder that point themselves, and they have come up with varying ideas with varying degrees of involvement by God.
Personally, I am a Christian who believes that God created man and the universe by employing the very scientific or natural laws which govern the universe. That still doesn't say how it was done, exactly, but I'm not really worried about it. I just know that God did it, and I don't worry about the rest.
Others see it differently. That's ok by me.

My question to you is, exactly how long is a day to God?
Do you think that God operates by our human created concept of time?
Here's some news...time is an illusion. It does not exist. There is only the eternal moment of now. One of God's "days" might be a million years of human time.
I am not a "Christian" per se, but I do believe in God, as the formless, genderless, omnipresent, omnipotent, timeless energy source that is the process of all life.
I believe that creationism and evolution are not mutually exclusive and frankly, proponents of neither side have disproven the other, but good try.

Theistic evolution or progressive creation-what ever you call it is a farce. It seeks to blend two theories that are opposed to each other.
I believe in creation just like Genesis says. If there really is a God and He can speak light into existence- He would have no trouble creating man and animals in an instant,

Do you take everything literally in the bible? I mean, truly literally?
I am a Christian and I believe in evolution. I go to church; I have taken several Origin of Man classes. I believe that God created Earth and Man. I believe that when God "created" man (as the bible states) it was when He gave us a consciousness. I think that we (our ancestors) were like animals before that without a concept of right vs. wrong, etc.

what is the requirement to be a Christian? that Jesus is the son of God. That's all.
does it require a strict biblical literal interpretation? no. I do not believe that the bible is meant to be taken word for word.
Ever eat a cheeseburger? dairy and meat are not to be eaten together.
poly/cotton blend clothes? a sin.
a child talks back to the parent? that parent is supposed to kill the child. it's in there.
there are many kind of Christians, many who think quite differently than either you or me.
the test of a Christian or not just goes back to the is he, or isn't he, the Way? I say he is. You say he is. We're both Christians.

The Bible wasn't referring to a 24 hour period. A day can also refer to an unspecified amount of time, such as "back in my father's day...". The earth is millions of years old and the Bible does not disagree with that.

I don't call myself a Christian at all, and I don't think I know any Christians who believe in evolution. People are all kinds of whacked out in the head about that stuff, and they really believe god ripped out his ribs to make people. Scary stuff!

It is a Jewish story on how we came to be and the earth universe etc. There are two versions in Genesis about the creation I believe.

I believe that the theory of computer programming exists, but I think the idea of binary code is just a metaphor for the computer's soul.
