If evolution said that the earth was created by God on November 13th, 1942 between 12 midnight and 4:20 am, with all memories of people supposedly alive then put in place just like fossils in the earth, would YOU accept creation then?

Not because the Bible said it, but because all evidence points to that.

Why do some of you think you are demeaning evolution by calling it a theory? That does nothing but support evolution. Theories are based on solid facts, reasoning, and withstand time. The creation story will never be more than a children's story, and most intelligent Christians understand this to be an allegory (not to take it literally). Microevolution IS fact, and macroevolution is merely these small changes over millions of years, particularly in a small group separated geographicly. This wasn't actually part of your question so I'll stop there.

2 Timothy 3:16, 17 says "All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work"
The Bible is inspired of God which means it's the truth. If it said evolution was how all life as we know it came about, then that would be the truth, and yes I would believe it. But it doesn't! It clearly states that God created all things, so that is what I firmly believe!

I"m like answerer 41 so i don't know if anyone will ever read this. But there is a mystery in the Bible which suggests something of this sort . .. when the Sons of GOD took wives from the daughters of men . .. but this is a mystery . ..
You must be BORN AGAIN in the HOLY SPIRIT in order to see HEAVEN.
Take that as you will but there is the phenomenon of the blind and the sighted . ..
-LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen

No, I don't think I would. I'm not sure I believe everything the Bible says...after all, it was written by disciples of Jesus Christ. NOT Jesus Christ himself. Some of it could be heresay but who knows? I believe a majority of it was based on true happenings and can honestly say I am a religious person, but I think alot of people like myself have many thoughts and questions about where we come from and how everything is everything.

I happen to think the Adam and Eve story is about spiritual creation, not the creation of the physical world.
As one with an extensive background in botany, may I point out that knowledge of good and evil does not grow on physical trees?

If the bible said everyone goes to hell no matter what (no salvation for forgiveness) would everyone still love god and worship him any ways? Of course not. That means everyone only does it for the benefits. God being an all knowing being knows this too. Therefore why would he let you in heaven since you are only using him? God is imaginary and the entire idea is just ridiculous.

I don't accept the bible, so that is not a reference for me. I do believe there is more than ample evidence to prove we descended from the world of apes and monkeys.

They believe all the other nonsense in the bible if it actually had something truthful they might still not believe it.
