Why do the theories of creation and evolution have to be mutually exclusive
Author: Janet Fenn
Mutually exclusive. The word exclusive meaning: each shutting out the other. So the question is why can‘t one theory include the other? First, there are many theories of creation and many theories of evolution. By my own choice and the predetermined will God. I accept whole heartedly the wisdom and truth of the Bible as the infallible Word of God. From Genesis to Revelations. I believe in divine creation. If you are a Bible believing individual there is no room for Evolution. I believe God said what he meant and meant what he said. Could there be some discrepancy in the interpretations handed down over the years? This is an entirely different question. However, I do put great credence on the Bible scholars interpretation of the original “Authorized King James Version” of the Bible. For the really studious Bible student I highly recommend “The Scofield Reference Bible” C. I. Scofield, being one of the greatest Bible scholars who ever lived. Divine creation means divine. I believe God created man from the dust of the earth. Giving him a living soul. In his own image. From dust we are and to dust we shall return. Our bodies are a living breathing temple for the Holy Spirit Of God to dwell. Although if I did not have my precious Bible as a tool and guide. I still would believe in divine creation. All of nature proclaims the glory of an unseen hand. The hand of an almighty God. A God who spoke the worlds into existence and flung the stars across the sky. Separated the water from the land. Giving it boundaries. Holds the keys to life and death. And sent his only son to pay sins debt. No, I find no room for evolution. With all the science and technology man has evolved he can not compare with the infinite wisdom of God. If you accept the one you can only reject the other. One being mans theory and the other being Gods truth. If I’m banking on theories all is lost. I am most miserable because I have no hope. If I’m banking on Gods truth. I have gained eternal hope of things far better. Yet to come.

Evolution & Creation by Mary Ratcliff on 12/17/2007, 12:58 AM I didn't use any dirty word. I said choose, that is to pick. Why did it put stars there as if I used a bad word? |

Evolution & Creation by Mary Ratcliff on 12/17/2007, 01:06 AM Yes I agree. There is no room for evolution in the Bible. Death came into the world as a result of sin. Those who would say that Adam and Eve were standing upon the dead bones of dinosaurs make no sense. Besides that, there is evidence everywhere that man and dinosaurs existed at the same time. Some pottery shows hunters hunting them. The book of Job mentions them (behemoth). Epic poetry such as Beowulf talks about them. There are countless legends and (so-called) fairy tales that describe dragons and monstrous creatures that once lived and plagued people in towns. I think the evolutionists are seeing only what they want to see, but are not interested in evidence. One look at the universities and how professors are being punished for mentioning anything other than evolution proves that. As the Bible says ... Let God be true and every man a liar. |

Evolution and creation by Gary Campbell on 12/21/2007, 11:36 AM Tell me, if the wages of sin is death, this is the physical death of the human body you are talking about yes, how is it that the Word tells us that man does not live by bread alone but by the word of God, that His thoughts are above ours, His ways above ours and that one day to the lord is as aone thousand years in our sight. I think that an Omnipresent, Omnipotent God would do well to keep the mysteries of our creation just that. Why not take your energies and focus on the truth, for therein you will be free. |

Fenn by Janet on 12/26/2007, 01:07 PM When I wrote this article... I was not discounting the many creatures. That have become extinct. The Bible talks about the Leviathan. I\'m sure there are many creatures that have become extinct over time. I simply do not accept all of scientist many theories on creation. If I did. I wonder just which theory... I should accept? I suppose I could do as a small child and go \"eeny meeny miny moe\" With which theory should I go? I just don\'t believe that man evolved from monkeys or some neanderthal cave man. Nor that he started out as a single celled amoeba. Who changed into twin cells and became a fish. Who then sprouted legs and decided to move out on to land. Then developed lungs with which to breathe. I believe in divine creation. The description of creation as given in the book of Genesis. The Bible is God\'s Holy word. Penned by the prophets. God said, he made man in his own image. From the dust of the earth and that is exactly what I choose to believe. I believe the Bible and I know it\'s prophecy\'s to be true. From the Old Testament to the New. I believe in heaven and I believe in hell. How bout you? Where will you spend eternity? Have you accepted Christ as your Lord and Saviour? |

Creation - Evolution by MJK on 04/08/2008, 10:33 PM I am NOT an evolutionist nor do I stand by any science over christianity. I do, however, feel that creation has a starting point. As opposed to God, who always has been and always will be, I believe when God breathed life into dust and made man it was the start to a process. Just as we evolve in 9 months from 2 single cells to a human so also God MAY have made man. I do believe it was man that was created but how long did it take to go from the breath of life to a breathing walking talking man? This is not for me or a scientist to debate. God started the process!! Whether it was a big bang, evolution, or instantaneous!! |
