God, Evolution and Creation. I believe in all three...?

Question

I believe in God and Evolution, for the following reasons: How do we know that 1 day to God, isn't a million/billion years to us? and that by the time God came to create Man, he merely modified a shape that was already handy to him? Also, evolution is evident on a day to day basis, plants, animals, even people. "adaptation" is merely a shortened form of evolution. Reincarnation. I believe that we are given lessons in life, before we set foot on this mortal plane, if we fail these lessons, then we are sent back, to repeat them, before we can attain that state of "perfection" that will grant us entrance to heaven. There's not much space here to put it all down, but that is pretty much the crux of my "beliefs"

The question here is am I right, or wrong in this belief? Or am I merely seriously confused and talking a load of junk?

Answer 1

I've never thought of it that way. I'm in between religious beliefs at the moment, but yours has given me an entirely new perspective on Christianity. Thanks for putting it out there!

Answer 2

I agree with your stance on God and evolution. I do not believe that creationism and evolution are mutually exclusive.

I also believe in reincarnation, but the difference in our beliefs is that I don't think that we get "sent" back, but that we choose to come back to perfect the evolution of our souls. I also believe that we can come back and live the same life over and over again if we so choose, or come back in another form, and not necessarily as a human on this earthly dimension.

Answer 3

I see where you could get confused... but truly, the adaption of humans, animals, etc. is a trait God gave us. Reincarnation is merely an excuse for the Hindu religion, so that they didn't have to believe in Heaven or Hell. That creates a LOT of confusion in our modern-day world.

Answer 4

I don't think that is dumb at all. If you are happy with that then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I actually like that view, and I pretty much believe the same thing you do, plus or minus a few variants. Thank you for putting that view out there.

Answer 5

Evolution and Creationism are not compatible. Evolution denies the existence of God.

Answer 6

I see eye to eye with you in everything apart from reincarnation-this is not preached by our religion,Christianity.I also choose to believe in religion's aspect of things,for the sake of believing but also believe in scientists' views about adaptation and natural evolution.

Answer 7

God, the soul and the universe was not created by anyone. I could have copied the valueble information about reincarnation also but i thought the answer would become very lenghty. If u believe in reincarnation, then u can't believe in evolution. cause they both contradict each other in somany cases. for now just know about God.

Who is God?
Who has been remembered as the Ocean of Love, the Intellect of the Wise, the Almighty Authority, the Comforter of Hearts, the Truth, The Living Being and the Blissful One?
God Says:
I am the Ocean of Love;
I show you the path of love.
My love remains unbroken and constant.
I cannot forget even one of you.
I have so much love for you,
and My love is unconditional and unlimited.
I am the Beloved.You have been calling out to Me for a long time.
Who Is God?
We are used to knowing things by seeing them, hearing them, tasting them, touching or smelling them. Most of us have grown up in a ‘seeing–is–believing’ and ‘hands on’ culture and we are used to perceiving things in that way. Because we can’t see, hear, taste, touch or smell God, the question arises – is God for real?
One can reach out to God with pure thoughts and be connected to Him. The soul experiences the response of pure feelings and spiritual strength. God is truth itself and thus can be recognized with the eye of truth.
God: The Supreme Soul
Like us, God is also a soul. Unlike us, He is referred to as the Supreme Soul – the only soul who never takes a body (gross or subtle, human or angelic) of His own. He is beyond the effects of actions and is never subject to the dualities of birth and death, pleasure and pain, success and failure. Being beyond the limits of time of this physical world, He retains absolute knowledge of the universe and all its dimensions.
Where is God?
God lives, not everywhere but somewhere. A thought of God almost always takes the eyes upwards, as though one is perhaps expecting a face to miraculously appear from behind the clouds or to beam down from the moon. Thoughts are powerful. They link one soul to another. If they are properly channelled, thoughts can even go where only the soul can travel – beyond the moon and stars to a dimension of golden red light, the original home of all souls. Immersed in the experience of the warmth of this light, the soul feels as though it is truly at home at last, and with God.
God – The Spiritual Sun
Like the physical sun, which gives light and life indiscriminately to all beings, God is the Spiritual Sun, giving light to all, whomever and wherever they may be. He serves altruistically, without any selfish motives, reminding each one of their innate qualities of love, peace and happiness. This is why He has been remembered in some countries and cultures by the name Shiva, The Benevolent One.
God’s Wisdom, Love and Power
People may wonder why, if God exists, He doesn’t wave a magic wand and fix things, making or at least influencing everyone so that they do exactly what they ‘should’ do. But God never takes away anyone’s freedom of choice. God’s wisdom is to recognize and respect each soul’s individual identity, freedom and inherent goodness. God shares knowledge – a profound understanding of the dualities and dilemmas of love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, etc. – but He does not make our choices for us. The soul is free to choose ‘to be or not to be’, ‘to love or not to love’. God’s love strengthens the soul’s will to free itself from the distresses caused by vices such as selfish desire, anger, fear, ego and attachment. God’s power helps the soul to recognize its highest potential and to aim for perfection by practising the art of simple living and high thinking. Such practice by a significant number of souls eventually brings about positive change in the whole of humanity.
When you learn to tune your mind in meditation to the mind of God, then whatever the situation, you always have a source of help and strength to draw upon – an infinite reservoir of power and virtues that is only a thought away
