Why Can't The Theories of Evolution And Creationism Co-Exist
but if there is a god why can't his, her or it's day be a thousand or a million or even several billion of our years.
Entrapped By Offense By Kris Belfils - Do you feel like you have been wondering in the wilderness for years and years? Does your Christian walk seem to go no where? Do you trip over the same obstacle(s) time and time again to find no freedom from the bondage you are experiencing? You could be a slave to something and you don't even know it.
The Call From Called To Chosen  When you’ve been called then, transformed into chosen there will be no need to announce it. Your chosen lifestyle will announce you.
God Chooses Whom He Will  The true story of a little girl forced to play softball with the big kids.  She learned a valuable life lesson:You may be a very funny-looking little girl, no one seems to want you on their team, but you have a Big Brother who does; His name is Jesus.  He wants you, he chooses you, he is calling out your name, and he goes before you.  Can you hear him beckon, ‘Come unto me?’
How Can Bible Study Help Kids Grow Up? Bible study is probably the number one way to keep your kids on the right path, and keep them out of trouble. We can\'t watch our kids all day and night, and we can\'t keep bad influences from coming to them. But what we CAN do is make sure they know wrong from right. This will help them when they face problems and major decisions on their own.
Foot In Mouth Disease By Jerry Ousley - There is a real disease that is commonly called "Foot AND Mouth Disease." I am in no way making fun of that terrible disease but it occurred to me that there is another disease that doesn't really affect the physical body, instead affecting the recesses of the mind. I appropriately call it "Foot IN Mouth Disease."
The Art of Giving  Have you ever wondered why money seems to run from you, or why your soul mate has not appeared? This may all have to do with your ability to give. There is a Universal art to giving that is powerful. Why not find out how giving will help you receive what you have hoped for?
Friday the 13th Could be a Lucky Day? A lot of people are having phobia of Friday the 13th, actually it\'s not that horrifying. Take a look at the resources provided and you will know better.
Hope has sailed into your life today Waiting for a miracle?  Hope is an eternal virtue of every Christian.  Never lose your hope!
Becoming No Ordinary Men What kind of man are you?  A Scarecrow? A Tin Man? A Cowardly Lion? A Wizard?
Is Your Faith Breakable or Unshakeable Much like the artisan that gathers the sand and processes it into wonderful, useful items, God wants to mold and shape you into a person of such faith that the attacks aimed at you will bounce off leaving no marks.

Why Can't The Theories of Evolution And Creationism Co-Exist

I am not a scientist or a religious authority, therefore my question "Why Can't The Theories of Evolution And Creationism Co-Exist?" may seem unintelligent, however it seems to me that the theories of evolution and creationism can be merged.

It is my understanding that the theory of evolution basically holds that mankind evolved from a lower species over numerous generations through natural selection, gene flow, genetic drift and other selective forces.

It is my understanding that the theory of creationism basically holds that mankind, the earth and everything else was created by a supreme being or god.

When people say that "god created the heavans and the earth in six days and on the seventh he rested", who can say how long one of god's days is. Why are we so egotistical as to believe that his day is the same as our's. We don't know god (Most of us who believe in god do so because we want to not because we have proof.) but if there is a god why can't his, her or it's day be a thousand or a million or even several billion of our years.

Chapter 2, verse 7 of the book of Genises states "then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." It does not state how long this took or what form the being we call man originally took. God's image can be many things. We have no way of knowing. Additionally, although the bible is supposed to be the word of god, it was written by humans and therefore subject to human interpretation.

Peaceful walksWhen we create something we start out with one thing and then add to it and alter it untill we finish and with some creations, such as a garden, we never finish adding to and altering it. Who says that god could not have started with one cell and through evolution added to it and altered it untill it became a human being. Who can say for sure that he, she or it is still not adding to and altering mankind. Who can say that god did not make us in such a way that we would continue to evolve without his, her or it's intervention. Who can say that the process is finished. Chapter 2 verse 1 of the book of Genesis states "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.". I have not found any place in the bible that states humans were finished.

It is said that "god created man in his own image". Since no one has ever seen god who can say what that image is. Who knows what humans will look like or how they will think in a thousand, ten thousand or one hundred thousand years. Maybe someday all humans will look and think exactly alike. Maybe someday all humans will merge into one being.

If there is a being powerful enough to create us then that being would be so far above us that we could not possibly understand it's thought processes or how it created or is creating us. We can not know what is intended for us or how or if things will end.

No human knows or understands everthing. No human can state beyond all doubt that there is or isn't a god. No human is infallible. Anything is possible, even the possibility that evolution and creationism are part of the same process.
