It contradicts a reasonable interpretation of it, but not an unreasonable one.

Its unreasonable given the mountain of evidence that would make it impossible. And since you admit its only an interpretation, you can't continue arguing that Evolution contradicts the Bible.

"don't know. Something like the first hominids that had the cranial capacity for reason had a special revelation from God, and worshiped him until they decided to reject him."

Evolution tells us homosapien evolved 100-250k years ago and only 2k years ago did god make himself known. Where in the Bible does it say he came 100-250k years ago?
Your just making this up

Why would god leave something sooooo important such as the only direct contact with humanity for hundreds of thousands of years out ?

<3God · Oct 3, 2009

Ill do "get my swag on" as a metaphor for creation if you would like

Nowhere, specifically.

The Assumptions is a magic word thread might be a good thread for you to read.

Why would god leave something sooooo important such as the only direct contact with humanity for hundreds of thousands of years out ?

Why is anything left out of the Bible? You open a can of worms with this line of reasoning, and it becomes completely absurd what you can ask and justify with it.

No crap, its an example of a possible historical basis for an allegorical tale. I don't quite understand your point.

Your sentence structure doesn't make sense.

If you are asking why God would wait hundreds of thousands of years before contacting humanity:

Possibly its because humanity hadn't developed its cognitive abilities to the point where communication would be worthwhile.

if you are asking why Genesis doesn't have a timeline that matches evolutionary theory:

Genesis is allegorical. It doesn't have to have accurate time-lines.

<3God · Oct 3, 2009

"Possibly its because humanity hadn't developed its cognitive abilities to the point where communication would be worthwhile."

According to evolution we had these abilities 100-250k years ago.

Explain the allegory- im all ears.

I did. You objected to it over the issue of the time frame, for reasons I don't understand because of your garbled sentence structure in your earlier post.

According to evolution we had these abilities 100-250k years ago.

On what basis do you suppose God didn't reveal himself to us at that point?

It's not in the Bible and theres no physical evidence

<3God · Oct 3, 2009

"I don't know. Something like the first hominids that had the cranial capacity for reason had a special revelation from God, and worshiped him until they decided to reject him."

How does this relate the verses that God created -light, the earth, planets, animals and humans seperately - to them having evolved?

<3God · Oct 3, 2009

Where is the allegory in a list of things God did?

"It isn't explicitly mentioned in the Bible" doesn't mean it isn't true, that's a very medieval way of looking at the world. The fact that the Sun doesn't revolve around the earth isn't mentioned in the Bible EITHER.

You'd be wrong.

"Historical contingency and the evolution of a key innovation in an experimental population of Escherichia coli" Lenski, et al. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 2008 vol. 105 (23) pp. 7899

<3God · Oct 3, 2009

Theres no basis to assume that humans were visited by God 100-250k years ago. There is a basis to assume the earth revolves around the sun.

These are great evidences for evolution. - But i was refering to physical evidence that God visited the Earth 100k-250k years ago

Your correct. You may have noticed there is a difference between Religion and Science. Religion deals with the spiritual, science deals with the physical.

<3God · Oct 3, 2009

By your logic, why cant i assume that earth was visited by the God Odin 8 thousand years ago?

You can if you want, I don't really care. But personally my faith is Christianity, not Asatru.

Not in the Bible, you say? Therefore...

(there's an apropos reference near the middle)

"You can if you want, I don't really care. But personally my faith is Christianity, not Asatru."

If i did, I would spend an eternity in Hell being endlessly tortured - but you dont care?

Your point about the video is silly, some drugs are bad because of their bad effects, the Bible doesnt need to say this because we have physical evidence. However we have neither physical evidence nor biblical evidence that God visited man 100-250k years ago.

Also your sig begs me to ask a question - Please explain what evolution is as u know it
