Creation is the antithesis of evolution --- and Jesus spoke of Creation.
From Things to Come, by J. Dwight Pentecost, Chapter 2, The History of Interpretation, quoting Thomas Hartwell Horne, pp. 17-18:So, what influences you to interprete that genesis is a literal description of creation?
The allegorical interpretation of the sacred Scriptures cannot be historically proved to have prevailed among the Jews from the time of the captivity, or to have been common with the Jews of Palestine at the time of Christ and his apostles.
Although the Sanhedrin and the hearers of Jesus often appealed to the Old Testament, yet they give no indication of the allegorical interpretation; even Josephus has nothing of it. The Platonic Jews of Egypt began in the first century, in imitation of the heathen Greeks, to interpret the old Testament allegorically. Philo of Alexandria was distinguished among those Jews who practiced this method; and he defends it as something new and before unheard of, and for that reason opposed by the other Jews. Jesus was not, therefore, in a situation in which he was compelled to comply with a prevailing custom of allegorical interpretation; for this method did not prevail at the time among the Jews, certainly not in Palestine, where Jesus taught.

You don't know much about how Christianity works, do you? How can anyone be "Christ-like" unless they know what Jesus said and did? God, Who wants us to be conformed to the image of His Son ---How do you know what Jesus spoke of; I mean the earliest writing about Jesus were in Greek and ~100 years to late. So you are putting your faith in men who wrote down second hand stories about some fella they never meet.
I must say AV, you put a lot of faith in the second hand writings of scribes.
--- allowed the inspired writings about His Son to go the way of the Periodic Table?Romans 8:29 said:For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Call it our "ministry" ---So what? A 6100 year old planet is the antithesis of a several billion year old planet, yet you've somehow managed to merge them together.
2 Corinthians 5:18 said:And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

That's what you want to believe, isn't it?I know how christianity works, BLIND FAITH
There is not an original word of Jesus, it is all second hand and in the case of the KJB third or forth hand.

What about the animals that evolution says went extinct? Where do they fit in, in this paradigm?AV, you make less and less sense the more of your posts I read.
Tell me in clear terms why animals could not have been created with the millions of years of evolution just as the earth had been created with the billions of years of history, as according to your world model.
You tell us. Where do the extinct animals that are found fit in with your worldview.What about the animals that evolution says went extinct? Where do they fit in, in this paradigm?
Let's not float too many questions at one time, okay? Let's bury this Embedded Evolution theory first.You tell us. Where do the extinct animals that are found fit in with your worldview.
Nowhere at all --- but I'm amazed at why TEs believe the way they do. The Bible shoots down the E part of TE in It's opening chapter. I don't see TE in the Bible at all --- even if I step back and look at Genesis One allegorically.
Then why don't you actually start answering it coherently. So far you haven't done so.Let's not float too many questions at one time, okay? Let's bury this Embedded Evolution theory first.

Come again? You wanted us to explain whether there was intent to deceive in your analogy. I said no, which is, AFAIK, also your position on this and related issues. How does that not fit the OP?Which answer in no way fit the OP.
Of course. Can't have all those people second-guessing His Highness AV1611VET, Lord of the Fundamental Independent Baptist Hosts, can we.Which was justified.
I did. I said that there was no deception involved. You have never given any reason as to why I'm wrong about that.Hmmm --- you thought you had answered it
Without giving reasons why, so my point stands.I pointed out you didn't
It was an utter failure from the beginning - luckily for you, even nonsensical questions can be answered.now you say it's an utter failure. LOandL.
Call it our "ministry" ---
