would a new theory of evolution being called "creation through evolution"?

Question

bridge the gap between evolutionist and creationalist,could a creationalist accept that god used evolution as an instrument of creation and could evolutionalist accept that god designed the universe to evolve to its present state

Answer 1

That is called theistic evolution.

Answer 2

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?

With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.

If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.

This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.

To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.

The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.

Answer 3

Biblical literalists are not going to budge. Their final word was written in 1611,1629, 1638, 1762, and 1769.

Evolution says nothing about the existence of God. If there was an "invisible hand" guiding evolution, no finerprints have been found to date. Science work of the principle of obsevation, hypothesis, and testing that hypothesis. Any hypotheses about God are intrinsicly untestable. This is in no way a disproof, but the scientific method cannot be edited solely for convenience.

Answer 4

I can imagine that this is where Christianity is going, but it is just changing parts of the interpretation of the Bible to fit the modern world. Yes it should be done as it is damaging the human race's ability to move forward but what's next?

Religious idea has already moved from God being in the "heavens above" but space study & exploration disproved that, now heaven exists in another dimension. What will Christianity's answer by when science moves into study of dimensions and discovers there is no God?

icheeknow below me obviously doesn't know what "theory" means in science.

Answer 5

It has already been theorized. Its called the "Gap Theory", or "Progressive Creation". This idea has many scientist on its side, the most notable is Dr Hugh Ross. However, in conflicts it always defaults to the popular view in science. All this idea does is provide a place to put off the final decision on taking a stand on the evidence. Like the 'string theory' (which no one understands), it just seems to complicate what precious little we already know.

Answer 6

There's no gap that needs top be bridged-evolution is a valid viewpoint, creationism is a bag of sh!t. I should point out also that what God allegedly did or didn't do has no relevance to the fact of biological evolution in species. There is no debate or conjecture-only conservative Christians believe they have a credible ideology-science isn't remotely interested in them or their views.

Answer 7

So wheres the evidence for this theory? It will get rejected in science because its not testable just as creation did nearly 150 years ago.

Answer 8

here's the thing schools ought not be teaching theories as fact. A plausible explanation is just that plausible but not for sure. Part of evolution happens that part about within a species. The part of evolving from one species into another is just likely not true in any possible past here on earth. Maybe in a big lab long away and far ago, supervised by some superior intelligence

Answer 9

It was once a theory that many questioned. It has been disproved. Creation has be proved true. Evolution in any form has been disproved as the creation of man. Evolution occurs in some aspects of life...as we all know. It is called natural selection. However, it is not how man was created or evolved. Many scientists set out to prove it, they humbly came to God after finding the truth.

Answer 10

Not! The theory of evolution can never co-exist with Creation , at least acording to the Bible:

The order of the creation 'days' in Genesis won't allow it....

2nd, The Bible says God SPOKE it into existance with his Word.

" "By the Word of the Lord were the heavens created, and all the host by the breath of His mouth. For HE SPAKE AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED AND IT STOOD FAST". (psalm 33:9)

It happened that fast.....just like Genesis says.

Answer 11

All things co-exist. Your headed in the right path.
