So Fatal said :
hey x, the bible never said we weren't monkeys to start out with, nor did it say how long a day in God's eyes was compared to our day
So now I complete my thoughts here instead:And I said:
X: Poor ole misguided youth,lol. The Bible doesn't say we came from monkes, lol. It say God created us, Man and then Woman. We were before even the monkeys, lol. Adam and Eve???
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X: lol oooops He created them on the same "day" He created us. If we came from monkeys during "evelution" then why are there still monkey?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X: Were made in the "image" of God, not monkeys.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X: Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over al
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X: and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X: 27 So God created man in his own image,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X: in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Genesis 2:7
7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Genesis 2:15-23
15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
for she was taken out of man."
Then, well you probably know the rest of the story, lol. Dang woman! Ha!
Anywho, yes it is believed God's "time" is different from ours as for what we count as "days", (or so we think). But according to "His" words, He counted a day as from light to dark. So if you look at it that way, then He does trully count days as we do, lol. We say that "God's time is different from ours" in the fact that, He knows the present, past, and future. Therefor He transcends time, (not sure that's the correct word). He isn't bound by time as we are. And yes, in His eyes, a day to us is but a flicker of an eye to Him.
Now do I believe in some aspects of "evolution", well yeh sure. Do I believe we come from monkeys? No. It can't be explained why, some monkeys became human, and some didn't.
There are many flaws to the Evolution theory in science itself. There are many things that they can't explain, yet.
I do believe that maybe some of the "Evolutionary stuff" is true. But I still believe that, in the way that God Himslef created the world, that could have been the way Evolution cites. It could have been a "big bang", the contenents might have really been one at one time. But I don't think their timing of events are correct, nor the evolution of man itself is correct.
And btw, carbon dating itself, is not an exact science yet.
LoL I love Religious discussion
