What God says he did trumps what it looks like He did.Wow...going back a bit for this one.
My primary objections with scripture is that when it comes to creation they do not support what God's own Creation, created by His own hands and signed off with His signature has shown us.
And God Reveals the Truth to little children, He Reveals What He Did, and honestly it looks just exactly like He Says.
For myself, a very old Earth that has evolved geologically as well as evolving life changes these past 4 Billion years presents no problems at all. That's where the Truth is at, at least IMO. Not in an ancient Middle-Eastern tribes creation understandings. Our knowledge of the world and the Universe has grown a lot since those days. I can do that and not take God out of the picture by putting God right into the center of an ongoing forever Creation process.
Agreed. Which is why I trust what God created in the Earth way more than the creation stories of an ancient middle-eastern tribe.
I thought of that when I wrote it. And I tried to write carefully because of that. But I don't know how else to point towards where and why I find major issues with the Biblical Creation story with out also looking at it's ancient cultural/religious background. And than also looking at the Creation story that science has brought us. It's quandary. How do I bring all of this up without violating the forum rules. Which I do respect very much so.
I get that. I'm not disparaging Jesus. I couldn't do that. I'm only looking at the Biblical Creation story is all.
Speaking as a theologian, I see no disparagement.
