What if evolution and creation are both true

Good question. If it doesn't contradict with the evidence then I agree it's possible.

Compared to America, most theists in Europe acknowledge evolution as the best explanation of 'the origin of species' and refer god to the field of abiogenisis: ie: 'the origin of life'.
We know how life can evolve once it's already there, but how it can start is still not certain. So a god creating the seeds of life with the knowledge that evolution would eventually create us us homo sapiens is still a nice thought if you ask me.

However if you claim it happens somewhere in the middle, as in: half creation and half evolution it raises another question:

If a process can be explained entirely by natural means, why resort to a supernatural explanation?

Here is how evolution and 6 day creation could both be true.

It is said that god can see the beginning and the end, that he exists outside of time, and that he is absolutely unlimited in his power.

So.... maybe he decided to just start in the middle of time. Create everything that ever happened, and ever will happen, all at once. Like he opened a book in the middle, and created all the pages before and after at the same moment.

That way, the millions of years of evolution are perfectly valid, they really happened. God just chose the moment at which people had finally arrived at our present state as the time when he created the whole thing.

And cue AV entering and saying that this is Omphalos, and that embedded age is so much better.

That aside, yes, you're absolutely right, this is of course possible. But frankly, it still has the inherent problem of why bother to make a bunch of prior "pages." I find TE a bit more helpful as I just take what's created as what was intended.

The fact that God COULD do it any way means the way it actually DID happen is neither here nor there, ultimately - I'd much rather this debate gave way to something a little more productive on the Christian front at any rate.

Personally i think the idea i put forward is totally ridiculous. But if a 6-dayer likes it enough to think creation and evolution are both POSSIBLE. assuming a God, then they could quit the arguments and actually learn some really interesting things about the world that they have ideologically refused to look at before.

And quit discrediting all of Christian belief by claiming it is necessary to also believe in the kind of fatuous ideas that are put forward to try to "disprove" evolution. it is a long lost cause anyway, nobody has ever come up with fact one and never will.

I dont know what an omphalops is supposed to be and dont care to know.
