Explain how evolution theories actually support creation?

Question

a very sensitive subject, but does the bible support some thoeries of of evolution? Im not focusing on the evolution of man, lets gear this more toward the formation of earth all the way up to the first life form on land

The definition of evolution in a broad sense involves chage over time. So the changes on earth that occured to support life are part of this question. To make it easier, look at Genesis as a starting point and see what I am talking about and please remember to answer the question. If you you cannot, then be sure to research before expressing you answer. This is not meant to be a religous debate. The idea is to present facts if possible--Thanks

Answer 1

People who believe in god as the creator and people who believe in electromagnetic forces as responsible for all, are like two people looking at a rose and calling it by different names. Both are right to believe in their way of discribing what they see.

For those who believe in "forces", they try to understand (step by step) how forces made us, as well as everything else. Not surprising, we are still trying to understand a goal that may not be fully attainable. Those who believe in god, accept a simpler explanation for the very complex event; namely,"god created us from himself as well as the heavens".

In the science community, we give credit to forces (like the strong force and the electroweak force) to account for what happens at the atomic and subatomic level, For all things that happen. Still these forces are as big a mystery as god himself is. Further, each term could be substituted one for the other, without changing the meaning: after all god is also a force "The Force".

One thing that bothers some, in the science community, about a god, is the personal nature some people attatch to him. They do not believe forces can behave "man like". But after all, is not a human made up of forces that acquired thought and reason. Hum...

In either case, humans may never fully understand just how things really work, we may always have a need to rely on a little faith.

Is it any wonder, Einstein believed in forces as well as in god.

Like Einstein, I would also like to try to know and understand god, as best as my mind is capable of and in terms that I can follow.

What this comes down to is thinking that there is an all powerful force that governs all, but not based on faith, but rather on Knowledge and understanding, at least up to my mental capacity; That which may be beyond my capicity, is where I might have to take "a leap of faith".

So to answer your question, Evolution, and The Big Bang Theory support Creation: "It does so, in a language that can readily be understood by humans", with a little science training.

Answer 2

Biological evolution explains the mechanisms behind factual observations that the earth's living things have, in the distant past, been radically different from their present forms.

Biological evolution has no bearing on the formation of the earth or the origin of the first living things. Those questions are answered by astronomy and geology in the matter of the earth's formation, and organic chemistry in the matter of the origins of life.

Attempting to pervert any scientific theory to that religious end serves no purpose but to either try and grant a patina of the respect that modern science has earned to the preposterous creation myth of the Israelites, or to paint creationism as an intellectually viable alternative to legitimate scientific explanations.

Answer 3

Evolution does not address the formation of earth up until the first life. Evolution describes how life is plastic, how it can form and reform itself to best meet changing conditions and opportunities.

The bible has nothing on evolution and I don't understand why you'd look there for anything on science. Why do you feel the need to meld science and religion? Science deals with reality, based on evidence. The bible is a mish-mash that includes some, but no all religious texts from 5000-1800 years BP. It gives "dominion" to man of all life forms, a pretentious statement if ever I heard one.

Answer 4

By definition, a belief system is not based upon evidence, but upon a decision to accept a point of view based upon how well that point of view serves the observer. A scientific theory is not a belief system, it is a suggested solution to an objective question which can be tested against objective evidence. I suppose it could be suggested that "Science" is itself a belief system, but then all objective reality is up for grabs and you can "believe" anything you want. In contrast, there is no way to objectively test the existence of God. That doesn't prove that there is no god, simply that the existence of God is not a scientific question. It's like trying to explain the color blue to someone with a mathematical formula; it may be accurate, but it completely fails to convey the impact of "blueness". This in no way proves that the color blue does not exist. One can believe in both creationism and evolution simultaneously if they are willing to accept that some of the Bible may be written as a poetic metaphor. Some are, some aren't.

Answer 5

God created everything in six days and on the seventh He rested. What is a day to God and how does He measure time? How did he create the flora and fauna on earth? Did he sprinkle life and let it ferment into what he wanted through evolution? Does any person really know the mind of God or His methods?
These are rhetorical questions so...

Answer 6

Outside of what that book says, there is no support.
