A problem that many have with a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation are the dinosaurs. Somehow, many see a problem with Adam trying out a T-Rex as a helper companion before God decided to create woman.

I believe the Bible and take God at HIs Word that He created the universe just as it says.
The only way something can become macro evolved, is for it to have been micro evolved to that point.
I don't know why it is so hard for people to believe that God could speak something into existence.
Can evolutionists take this verse literally? I would think they'd believe God created "some" things not all...then let them evolve into all things (at least all things for now)and that all things were created by his Word as stated in John 1:3
Linguistic styles of genesis prove otherwise.

It might be nice if you'd show us these studies that there seem to be more and more of one of these days.Creation as it is written in Genesis. More and more studies are proving that it is possible for the world to be under 7000 years old.
If Genesis 1 was written as narrative but was not meant to be taken literally, then Moses is a liar. But, genesis 1 is written as a narrative and not poetry according to its conjunction-verb-subject-object style. Poetry is usually written as subject-verb-object. of course there are rare instances where the order of poetry is c-v-s-o but it is that way either by poetic license or to give emphasis or change direction as far as the subject matter.I have yet to see a "linguistic style" that proves a text must be understood literally
good for you Gluadys...I think my main problem w/ TE and that verse is that it's referring to Jesus in the beginning and not throughout billions of years. But of course, that's my interpretation and you have yours.This is another version of god-of-the-gaps thinking. It assumes that since evolution is a natural process, God is inactive in that process. You are excluding God from natural process. I don't.
I utterly reject the materialist assumption that "natural=godless". I don't know why any Christian would accept this, but I find it very common among creationists.
What do you think melethiel?Did God create you?

On the contrary, I find it absolutely astounding that there are those out there who commit themselves completely to a totally literal reading of the Bible.Its amazing that people won't take every word from the Bible. I just wanted to comment on that.
