I've heard it said that time is not the same to God as it is to man. If God created the world in 7 days, who's to say how long His 'days' were? Perhaps the evolutionary process was God's creation? What do you think?

I would think so. but a lot of the people i talk to don't want to think for themselves and actually believe this. they want to think that we were created as we are in 7 actual days. I wish i could meet someone who actually thinks creation and evolution were the same.

Absolutely not. Evolution and creation (that is, the creation account in Genesis) do not mix and you cannot hold to both of them. There is absolutely no reason to wonder if God's days were 24 hour days or some other period of time. It is very clear that a day is a day is a day. God rested on the seventh day and gave us the Sabbath commandment specifically in reference to the day of rest after creation.
an Evolutionist might believe in "God" and might even call himself a "Christian" but there is no way that an evolutionist can believe in the authenticity, reliability, and inspiration of the Bible and still cling to evolution. Either you believe in evolution or you believe the Bible but you can't swing it both ways.
If you dismiss the account of Adam and Eve in the garden, you trash the words of Jesus and the writings of Paul. You must rip out parts of the gospels and the letters of Paul. You do away with sin and the need of salvation, the redemption of man and the hope of heaven. There would be no judgment, no new heavens and earth, and certainly no return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
ya gotta choose.
god bless

If the fossil checklist instruct data for creationism becasue each and every thing is a similar now because it became shoudn't there be mammles and birds chanced on interior a similar layers as say a trillobite. in accordance on your concept the only feasable way for this to ensue is for no mammles or birds to no longer have died the entire time trilobites have been around in the previous their extinction some older bigbang modles might say that the form got here from no longer something (nicely no longer extremely) yet there are extra recent extra feasable modles that have emerged with the invention of dark capability that instruct the bigbang is possibly no longer something extra effective than an experience with a in the previous and after repeating persistently as you stated (a minimum of i think of thats what you mean). It almost seems as though its impossible for no longer something to exist. yet this does not mean that a God as constantly existed. you have some excelent factors right here yet i think your conclusions seem one sided. I wont say there won't have the ability to be a God yet whilst there is, its doubtfull that it existed in the previous capability which has constantly existed. I wold might desire to disagree with max that vegetation have been the 1st existence. Photsyntesis is an fairly complicated technique possibly to be preceded via an easier form of metabolism and infact it is what we detect interior the fossil checklist. So evolution does no longer accept as true with genesis a minimum of on the order of species foundation.

Time ( as we know it ) was not until the sun, moon and stars were set into motion. That is where the evolutionists get mixed up. Before material time was established who knows the eons God thought on creation process. Remember this : The material things we see was established in the spiritual realm first. We are just the image or reflection of what is in the spiritual realm.

I think anything is possible. I believe that God created everything, but I do believe that the "7 days" could have been over thousands of years. I do believe that evolution is a possibility, I do not believe that humans evolved from an ape though.

I know several people who believe that God created the initial world (planets, skies, water, and stuff) and then left it for all the living things to evolve on their own.
Somewhere in the Bible it says that a day to God is like a thousand years, and that's where they get this from.

Evolution and Creation are not the same. You either believe God or you don't.

The order of the animals in Genesis is wrong, which means you lose the Bible as the inerrant 'word of God'... without this as your basis for belief, you need to go searching for some other reason to hypothesize a god. it's true about the word 'day' though.. the original Hebrew can mean 'period of time'.

In the Quran, God says that one day for him is equivalnent to 1000 days of what we count so I guess what you're saying is a good possibility if you believe in the right God that is :-)

God created all, right?
Then of course evolution is part of that - and there really is no timeline with God.
