    A bunch of metaphysical and existential questions from a non-Christian (but who was baptized Orthodox as a child)

    the Bible tells us because it pleased Him to do so. Who are you to say that a Creator, who had created what He wills is not perfect for doing so? To tempt Adam and Eve. God is about Choice. the Serpent/satan provides an alternative to God's will. Meaning Sin=Choice. Putting the serpent in the...

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    do you understand we are discussing interpretation of Gen 1-3? That my theory does not alter one word of the bible?

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    Do you understand most people do need to reconcile evolution with a literal 7 day creation? That we are loosing 70% of the children we sent to college by the end of the second year and 80% by the time the graduate? That most of these broken faith come from an inability to reconcile their faith...

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    What is my definition of evolution? What is the scientific definition? What is what most people believe? How does my definition differ?

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    actually it's not. it may contradict what you think evolution is, but to evolve naturally or with the help and direction of an outside influence is not impossible. in fact look at how we have made fruit and vegetables evolve. google what a banana or watermelon use to look like and what it looks...

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    did you even read the OP or did you just cut and paste some argument you've been refining over the years? Because none of this refutes anything I said here. again read the OP I do not give up on the whole literal 6 day creation narrative. In fact that is the whole point of what I shared here is...

    The elephant in the room is why man "evolved" to where we are today.

    Just playing devil's advocate, as I've heard and seen this argument against real live atheist before. The thought they would use against this idea is that the resources available/needed would not sustain more than one child at a time. which is why we've adapted to having only one baby in...

    then Why does Jesus specifically tell us in Luke 11 this world is outside of the Kingdom of Heaven? That the Father's will is not done here on earth as it is in Heaven?

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    I agree with all of this.. so why not give out kids something that allows them to sustain their faith?

    Christian = otherworldly?

    so are you a creature of the flesh only? or is their more? Do you not have a soul? Is the soul corporeal? is it "made of clay" too? If God breathed into us the breath of life then our origins are Not Terrestrial. Unless you are saying God is of the earth. I point this out because This body of...

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    did you read the op or watch the video? It seems you are just assuming my position and giving me a stock opening statement. how about maybe reading the assignment before coming to your final conclusion.

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    a Maybe in your zeal to defend your beliefs, you missed the point of this post.. Just fyi 70% of our children meaning 70% of christian children who have been in the faith all of their lives, 70% of them we send off to college loose their faith in the first 2 years. by the 4th year we loose...

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    I did see 124.. Do you understand good enough for now does not mean perfect/complete meaning things could change over time, right?? this supports my argument more than good=complete/will never change does it not?

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    The only problem with that is the word "Good" does not equate in anyway to the definition of the word complete. Nor are their any examples scripturally that would indicate that good means complete. For example if a farmer plows a field and he looks at it and it is "good" it does not mean his...

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    Do you not seem to understand how basic reference material is used. Translation example B as highlighted above specifically translates Genesis 2:17's "yom" into a specific 24 hour period. Eze 16 is NOT mentioned in example "B". What is referenced as a 24 hour period in example "B" is genesis...

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    Where has anything I've said change a word of the Bible? I've simply offered a Different INTERPRETATION. Same verses, literal 7 day creation and I also clean up all the paradoxes, answer all the typical questions that come from a traditional interpretations (took the incest out of the story)...

    How a literal 7 day creation can work with evolution claims without changing a word of either

    what you don't seem to get is the lexicon tells you how and why the word was translated "Day" meaning specific day/24 hour period. the same 24 hour period implied in the 7 days of creation. Meaning you can not have it both ways. If the usage of yom means a literal 24 hour day when God created...
