Is there an existential theory that combines creationism and evolution?

Answer 1

Creationism, in any form, cannot be a theory as it is, by the very definition of God, untestable. There are Creationism doctrines that are fully compatible with the scientific study of evolution

Simple Creationism -- God created the universe. Everything that happened after required no intervention.

Theistic evolution -- occasionally, God "stirred the pot".

Answer 2

There is ! yes.
The earth and heavens were created. but evolution is not predominate in the value of human life. What we see in the creation of the earth and nature, is the same KIND of DNA mapping in all kinds of creation. it is possible that All dna is created after the DNA of God and all things have that same genetic Code. I heard this once in an interveiw on coasttocoastam.com
I found it fascinating.
but for at least 20 years there is a belief that God created everything to Evolve which its own genetic map and DNA history so that all things are connected Geneaologically. When God said that the AGE of man will no longer be something like 900 years long, and he changed it to a max of a 120 years but shortened even the days of man in some generations, it is obvious that God can change DNA and Genetics to evolve in different ways from which it was When Adam and EVE were formed from the dust.
If God can imagine, He can create it, that is the ONLY limit to evoluition.
But before God can create anything He had to LEARN how to do it. line upon line, precept upon precept, From one science and technology to another, from ONE everlasting to Another everlasting. This is the path of divine knowledge and the evolution of creationism. at least this is how i understand how an angel can become a creator and one with the godhead of the universe.

Answer 3

I completely believe that the two are not mutually exclusive theories and those who say they are, are very likely pro-evolution. I believe they are both viable theories and likely a combination. Especially after reading material such as Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch and The Seth Material and Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts.

Answer 4

They are fundamentally contradictory.

The earth is either 4.5 billions years old or just a few thousand. This is not the kind of thing people can 'agree-to-disagree' about. One is right and the other is wrong.

Either way, creationists are wrong because if the earth is only a few thousand years old, then everything we think that we have learned throughout the history of mankind is false. If the earth is that young it means that there is no such thing as human knowledge – and that would include the ability to know the age of the earth, any god, and everything else.

Answer 5

Yes. There is the "Gap" theory which is held by so-called "progressive creationist" many of whom are scientist. Hugh Ross would be one of the most notable ones. Basically what it says is that God started everything and used evolution to get us where we are today. Two major problems with this theory: 1- there is no "gap" where its supposed to be (between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2). And 2.- the theory of evolution has no basis, except in the imagination of people who refuse to believe in the possibility of God.

Answer 6

Yes..... This is the easiest thing imaginable.

A Deity (unnamed since I don't really care at this point) puts all the matter necessary for this universe to begin into an enclosed space of his/her choosing.

She/ He shakes it all up and lets thing develop over the next 100 billion years... watching the stuff coalesce and explode in a 'Big Bang' and throw stellar matter out to the far reaches of the enclosed space. They then sip a mint julip as the dark matter forms and recedes and eventually stars, solar systems, and galaxies form from the far-flung stellar matter.

As an interesting twist to the experiment, life begins on several of these stellar bodies.... possibly according to the plan, possibly completely to the amazement of her/him.

Answer 7

Most sane believers in the world believe god was the first mover and created everything some 13 billion years ago but then left it all pretty much to its own devices save for a few supernatural interventions. The frothing creationists on here do that majority no favours.

Answer 8

Theistic evolution. Basically posits that everything happened as science describes it, but that there was a deity nudging things where needed (for example, setting the strength of the four basic forces, et al).

Answer 9

My opiinion is that something (call it god if you want) created the universe and all of its physical laws. As part of those laws, abiogenesis and evolution were inevitable. But whehter evolution leads to intelligent life (as we call ourselves) or pond scum was/is of no interest to the creator.

Answer 10

The two are like oil and water-you can't combine fact (evolution) with pure fantasy.
