Do you think evolution and creationism are the same, but in different story form?

Answer 1

If both religious people, and non-religious people approached Genesis 1 and the process of cellular growth objectively, they would see that Genesis 1 poetically describes a biological process.

The beauty of the language has been lost on both sides.

Belivers of both sides close their eyes to the possibilities.



1In the beginning when God created* the heavens and the earth, 2the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God* swept over the face of the waters. 3Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 And God said, ‘Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.’ 7So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. 8God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9 And God said, ‘Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.’ And it was so. 10God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, ‘Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.’ And it was so. 12The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good. 13And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
14 And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, 15and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.’ And it was so. 16God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth, 18to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
20 And God said, ‘Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.’ 21So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. 22God blessed them, saying, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.’ 23And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
24 And God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.’ And it was so. 25God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.

Answer 2

Many species having the same genes shows a common designer. The parts off of a buick will fit in a chevy because they have a common designer, as will parts off a mercury fit in a ford. Humans and gorillas have 98% same genes but yet when they try to put a gorilla heart in a human the body rejects it. That is why they still use pig valves in heart patients. There are almost 100 trillion cells in a human and about two to three feet of DNA in each cell. 2% is a huge difference when you add it up. If you took all the DNA from one person and strung them together it would go to the sun and back. What is 2% of that? Micro evolution means that you get half of your genes from your mother and the other half from your father, thus making you different than either. Macro evolution is claimed to be the same as micro evolution over long periods of time but the fossil record does not show the gradual change that this process would cause. You should read Gould, he admits that gradual change is not found in the fossil record thus his belief in punctuated equilibrium. He did not believe in gradualism but that is what you have described. Do some in depth study and you will see that most of what is taught as the theory of evolution is not science but assumptions made by scientists. Again Gould has said that the evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks are "inference" and "not the evidence of the fossils" Nat. His., V.86, p.13 You should try harder this is easy to refute for anyone who has a basic knowledge of evolution, world history, archeology and geography.

Answer 3

What is humorous to me is the proponents of evolution touting creationism is fairy tale, when the same creationists say man is evolving to a higher form than all other creatures. So, does that not indicate a design from a higher order? Do evolutionists believe that evolving to a higher order is just happenstance, pure chance? How did that evolution then occur. There is no question there is preordered design in life, all life.

Answer 4

Evolution is probably just an author doing background work to establish a setting and timeline. Thus far, no characters, or plotting have been introduced.

We can probably anticipate some chapter outlines, character summaries, and maybe even a first draft, sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Answer 5

Only in the sense they both try to explain the origin of humanity.

Evolution is a process, over time. Creationism teaches that God said "I think I'll make a couple of people today" and *poof* there are people in the same (or very similar) form as today.

They contradict each other, so they can't both be true.

Answer 6

might be... from Gen.1:2 and the earth "was" without form and void, The word "was" there came from a Hebrew word "hawyaw" which should be translated -- became. God did not create the earth without form and void, it became so. there was judgment back then.. and there was a huge gap... in between Gen 1:2 and Gen 1:3... between this gap might be the evolution...

Answer 7

The only thing that is the same is that they both started with a bang. One had two atoms collide in a freak accident which created the bang and the other God said let it be and "bang" it was done.

Answer 8

God certainly could have used a process to bring about life on earth that we call evolution.

But it would still be a form of creation, because God's programming of the evolutionary process would determine what life-forms came about by His will.

Answer 9

No, evolution is based in science, creationism is based in nonsense.

Answer 10

No, Evolution makes sense, creationism is just plain bull-****.
