    Genesis: Beginning of Dry Land, not Planet Earth

    I believe the bible in its entirety to be inspired by Yahweh Elohim (whom most people call God.) Because of that, I believe that Genesis 1 is not about the creation of Planet Earth but about the creation of one small part of it - the raising of the land that was underwater between the Nile and...

    A Young Earth Friendly Old Earth Creationism

    Hi all! A decade ago I was a hard core Young Earth Creationist (YEC). I taught it with zeal at youth group services, evangelism classes, and apologetics seminars. I thought that the main two views of Genesis 1 were the Biblical view (literal), and the non-Biblical view (non-literal)...

    The First Adam - Jesus being the second Adam

    What came first was man, the animal. Or "Natural Man". Adam was the first Natural-Man to have a Spirit. So he was the first Child-0f-God which natural men are not children of God. Adam was the first natural-man to get the Holy Spirit. The First man to have Life. God has always focused on...

    Say we spend our lives waiting for God, to Evolve - is that: life spent wasted?

    Hi there, So I came to the conclusion that it is better to be predetermined than to be self-willed and I started to turn my attention to God; what I started to realise is that God is more predetermined than me - like even if I spent every waking hour focused on God and His predetermination, I...

    Which came first: Adam or the Child Adam?

    Hi there, So yes, this is just meant by way of filling in the gaps: Adam was not necessarily an adult, when God made him. Which came first, Adam, the adult or Adam the child? Intuitively, we assert the Child Adam came first, right? That way there is time for Creation to be experienced, before...

    So the surname "Darwin" goes down in History, as the one with the least need of further evolution?

    Hi there, The argument goes "we have Evolution, we don't need anything else" but there are ramifications to this, right? For one thing discovering "Evolution" means that you don't have to rediscover it, right? Unless of course you have a certain endless fascination with it, in which case your...

    We Believe In Dinosaurs

    I saw this video on TV just recently, Stream WE BELIEVE IN DINOSAURS on PBS The PBS documentary "we believe in dinosaurs" focuses on can hams "the ark encounter". I figured I would share for those who are interested in this subject.

    In the mating game, first impressions count most

    Hi there, So there is a something massive I didn't count on when setting out to work out the relationship between Creation and Evolution: First Impressions. First impressions are simply the instinct first presented to a potential mate, that help define the relationship in a way that develops a...

    Brief Study On Genesis 1:1-2

    Definitions Darkness, Deep (Tehom: sea, abyss) and Formless. These are the 3 elements of Chaos (tohu wa bohu). This oddly is in opposition of the Trinity of God (this is just an observation). Chaos: Tohu va vohu. Formless: Confusion, unreality, emptiness Void: Waste, destruction, ruin The...

    Was there a “before” time, and if so, how can we possibly comprehend it

    The question “how long did God exist before he created the universe?” is self defeating, because “how long” is a measurement humans use to understand time, and sequencing, two concepts that were established by God, at creation. There was no “before” before LOL. I Know it sounds ridiculous to our...

    In the beginning....

    Scripture begins at Genesis 1:1 with the statement, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." This is very powerful and informative single sentence. It asserts there is a beginning, necessarily implying there is an end. The statement asserts a single God created both the...

    If the serpent (Evolution) bites before charmed, why send for the charmer (to develop Evolution)?

    Hi there, So there is actually a scriptural verse that deals with Evolution pretty neatly, actually. It proposes that there is a law, that affects serpents (in much the same way Evolution claims to affect creatures in general). This law can be preempted (the snake can bite before the charming...

    If Jesus can guarantee Resurrection, but Evolution can't guarantee Jesus: stick with Jesus?

    Hi there, So there is a bit of a bind here. I have tried to describe as exactly as I can what it is that vexes me about the whole Creation/Evolution thing: Jesus can guarantee Resurrection, but Evolution can't guarantee Jesus. There is a major problem here, right? I mean I am not ultimately...

    The Body of Christ and The Land We Find Ourselves Within

    I think that the phrase "Body of Christ" and that "Jesus died for us to live" makes so much more sense if we consider ourselves within Gods terrarium and strengthens the entire faith of Christianity in the process. All of it, is the blood and body of Christ and Christ itself, The Little Zeus...

    A new mentality: embracing risk, for volatility, that can be transferred

    Hi there, So, I have engaged with Evolution long enough, now, that I see in it a way of self-confidence, that I do not want. I don't care that I might be "more adapted" or "better adapted" depending on the approach I take, but I want to become a new creature, with the hallmarks of my Creator...

    New concept: the Beginning is a state

    Hi there, So if you look at the beginning in Genesis, what it says is "light was hovering over the waters" (from memory). This is a "state of affairs", not an action. The action comes later when God says "let there be light" (from memory). So the beginning that is there in the beginning, is...

    What if we melded Evolution and Creation, in some way? That in the beginning, light set out to give

    Hi there, So I have reached a point where I realize there are ways to agree, between what has to happen by chance and what has to happen by design (and to a certain extent what has to happen by choice - but we will get to that later)... It is not the case that God rules out chance, in order to...

    There is a problem with saying, God created more than He was expecting - please help

    Hi there, So I have tried to come at Evolution from every angle I could have - probably more than I should have, given that it is the Holy Spirit's responsibility, how we should conduct ourselves in the attempt to win people to the faith. Now I am just being as honest as I can: God does not...

    This is a little weird, but if Evolution is true,, shouldn't it be evolving simultaneously?

    Hi there, So naturally I can't post this in the Evolution forum just yet - they are just not mature enough to handle a concept like this - but I need to develop the "thought": if you could bear with me, a little, here. The idea is this "Evolution is often described as uni-directional (a...

    Why God created harmful insects?

    Like mosquitoes, cockroaches, fleas and even bacteria. Should we kill them just because of what they are?
