Evolution and genesis?

Question

Could they go together as my avatar depicts,
or is it one or the other

Answer 1

Evolution is science.

Genesis is the mythology of an ancient tribe.

Answer 2

The meaning of Genesis in the bible is "the beginning" . It involves from the time of the creation until the temporary life of the Esrael people in Egypt..

Chapter 1 to 11 is about the first event of the story and Chapter 12 to 50 is the story about Israel,(Chapter 12 to 25 is about Abraham while 26 to 36 is a bout Isaias and his son Isau and Jacob. Chapter 37 to 50 is on the family of Jacob and the first character is Jose.

The first purpose of the whole book is to state the relationship of God with men, his creatures. and many more.

Evolution is an story from Darwin who is scientists and concluded that men came from the apes as a matter of evolution but this has not been proven to be true bec ause there are still apes living now adays. They should have evolved to man as of now if there is true and aside from that matter, some apes ; are asking questions that until now they are still apes or monkey saying that evolution is unfair and unjust because some of them are still monkey while others became handsome men and beautiful women.

Answer 3

Perfectly. Genesis chapter one gives you a million mile an hour summary, up until the time of upright man. Then it is slowed down for our benefit.
Scientist have condensed time into a 24 hour day, where you see the universe being born, and the earth come into being.
On this condensed time clock - humans just get here in the last 15 seconds of the 24 hour day.
So on that time clock, the last ice age just receeded about 10 seconds ago.

Answer 4

There is nothing that says God may not have possibly used evolution as a means of creation. No I am not a cousin of a monkey. God places humans above the rest, simply because He gave us a soul and the ability to make our own decisions about our faith and destination. Animals do not have that but may have evolved if that is the way God chose to do it. Genesis is the history after God created man and woman.

Answer 5

1 Timothy 6:20 (King James Version)

20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.


And it seems that science does not know how to do simple math....0+0=0

Answer 6

Genesis claims man was created seperate from other creatures, and in the final form.

Evolution says man is an advanced animal, with the same ancestors (a long time ago) as other animals. It also says he developed into the form he is in today.

They cannot both be correct.

Answer 7

You can have your cake and eat it too. It is possible to accept the best of both views. Many people do not take Genesis literally. Many accept Creation without the overly religious aspects. If you say you can't do it this way then you are putting your own view atop other's.

Answer 8

I would hate to think that I descended from a monkey. though some people do act like apes, maybe that is where the scientist got the idea?

Answer 10

They can totally go together!
Science is a methodology based on observed evidence.
Faith is a belief system requiring no justification whatsoever.
Just because there is ample evidence supporting one theory doesn't mean you can't BELIEVE that another is correct.

Answer 11

This answer:
--------------
I would hate to think I descended from a monkey
-------------
says it all.

This person didn't bother to look into evolution theory (which, incedently, doesn't claim that she descended from a monkey); rather he/she bases his/her beliefs on what is pleasant to believe, and not on what scientific evidence shows.
