Will I be able to join the LCMS?

As a young child, I thought it was an instantaneous creation, then as I grew up and read Genesis closely, I came to realize it wasn't instant, but 6 days.

The opening words of Genesis is "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Until you read or hear further, it is easy to think it was one instant.

I still say that science can not prove it was anything other than 6 days either.

I have read a great deal on this matter and it is very apparent from the overwhelming scientific evidence. Some of the details are missing yes and the VERY BEGINNING of creation is definitely a work of God but the actual process of evolution is very real. I urge you to read Francis Collins' The Language of God.

I truly wish you would have just answered the questions honestly. Your unwillingness to do so is truly frustrating and dishonest.

Please close this thread. Thank you.

Just want to say that evolution is not a fact, but a theory.

I don't believe I said it was fact. What I said was, the evidence points to it, and I do believe that it does. Read Francis Collins' The Language of God...I urge you to.

Evidence is nothing more than Satan's influence. Genetic mutations are, as I believe it, a result of sin in the world.

It's all about worldview. Is your starting place creation or the Creator?

 

[alexnbethmom]

and it seems to me your questions have been answered, you just don't like the answers you're being given....

The scientific evidence says what it says...and what it says is that some form of evolution did occur.

Micro-evolution, yes. We can see that (natural selection) and even make it happen (artificial selection), and is even supported by the Scriptures. But macro-evolution is not supported by either the evidence nor the Scriptures.

Several people HAVE answered your question. And you don't really get to talk to a mod delivering a mod hat in a thread that way. It's one thing to ask questions, it's another thing when a non-members starts telling us what we're doing wrong and "teaching" us.

Please close this thread. Thank you.

With pleasure.
