Jeez, I came across this read and honestly it's pretty heavy. it does NOT make room for evolution of mankind from apes, i'll never believe that, rather an evolution of the souls of mankind. It's a long read so i'll post the link and parts of the passages. Later i'll get really baked and read it all again and let it glean over the threads of the finite mind and see what chord it strikes.
The Master paused and closed his eyes. After about 30 seconds his eyes fluttered open and said, "The three three's. The Mystery of the three three's will explain it." He shifted deeper into the grass growing under the tree. "Three primary religions teach reincarnation, they are Hinduism, Taoism and Buddhism. Three primary religions teach of a resurrection, they are Judaism, Christianity and Sufism. And three more religions are a blend of one of the two mentioned. You can call them blended religions. Zen is a blend of Buddhism and Taoism, The Sihks are a blend of Hinduism and Sufism.

there is one more blended religion, a blend of Judaism and Christianity called Sabbath Christians or Messianic Jews.
Chester rubbed his chin, "So your saying the Universe was created so life could evolve. So you have no problem with the Big Bang or Darwin's Theory of Evolution?"
The Master smiled, "Of course, the Wisdom of Infinity. The Infinite nature of God makes all things possible, even a Universe that supports life just as science describes it. Reality is simply a complex pattern that is ever changing. Life is just a one of the many patterns of reality."
The Master continued, "Once mankind evolved on the planet, Lucifer discovered the true meaning of ultimate pontential. He learned it was man's potential, or destiny, to achieve God Consciousness. Life on earth was destined to evolve to a level of intelligence capable of understanding God and God's plan. It's man's ultimate destiny to become greater than the Angels themselves!"

Interesting.....
1. I believe that God created our world using the 'process' of evolution. Evolution is the process of slow change over time.
2. Jesus taught that we, as humans, are capable of understanding and sustaining a relationship with God, without Bible or church. In fact, Jesus taught we could attain the level of spiritual development that he had attained. Jesus taught that our salvation is not through blood sacrifice, but through truth. Jesus' teaches us the way to be reborn (in thinking and behavior), so that our minds expand past a limited human perspective, and we are able to comprehend God's perspective.
As children of our Creator, we are also Divine, but human too; but, we have the capacity to evolve into highly developed spiritual beings. We have been given this gift, and it is our freedom of choice to seek it out, or to live from a more human, or limited, perspective.
Lucifer is a image that was created (by organized religion), to frighten people into submission. God does not need to use fear.
I believe that God has given us the capability to evolve, just as our environment is evolving, every moment, every second. Creation has not stopped, it is ongoing and continuous. Our purpose here, is to evolve to the level where we can let go of our human perspective, and embrace the spiritual perspective.
In order to do this, we have to let go of all boudaries that keep our minds limited. Example: God created the earth in 7 -24 hour days. If we take this literally, it doesn't make sense, and goes against all evidence that the earth is billions of years old. But we we set aside the literal 7 days, and understand that in God's time, one billion years, is like a day, then perhaps we can step into a spiritual understanding of creation through the process of evolution. You can see from this example, where literal interpretation can limit our understanding.
I believe that we can gain spiritual understanding by setting aside 'what we think we know' (our ego), and open our minds to being 'reborn' in a new way of thinking and understanding. It is a difficult road, but the result is freedom from fear, and an understanding that God is not far away from us, but so close, that we are almost one.
One additional note: resurrection and reincarnation do not cancel each other out. In fact, they are one and the same. Recurrection is being reborn, reincarnation, is also being reborn. But that is another story.

I can go along partially with the evolution and creation deal, but if man evolved also, that would change the book of genesis just a bit I believe. Therefore if the first chapter is wrong, who's to say the rest of it isn't ? There are too many questions without proper evidence for the answers.

i think in creation and that i'm knowledgeable approximately organic and organic evolution. they're fullyyt separate matters. creation potential the visual attraction of the universe the place no longer something had existed till now. Evolution potential ongoing substitute in already modern residing organisms. organic and organic evolution did no longer even initiate till billions of years after the creation.

Resurrection and reincarnation rule each other out. It's either resurrection or reincarnation or something else.
