Science, Creation & EvolutionGenesis Wrong => Bible Wrong?Notice, that I said "all of the accounts". Where does he mention the literal six days of creation? It is obvious that there were "Man and woman" in the beginning, but when? Mark 10:6 only seems to verify that in the beginning there was Man and Woman (doesn't indicate Adam and Eve). It does not indicate that everything in Genesis should be taken literally. It does not eliminate the possibility of evolution. It doesn't eliminate the possibility that God gave Moses a non-scientific approach to the creation account. It does not eliminate the possibility that primitive man did not walk the Earth as well. Matthew 23:35 and Luke 11:51 are part of the six/seven woes that he is directing at the Phairsees. He is not giving an account of the Creation story. He is reminding them of their hypocrisy. I don't see how this explains creation(literal) or verifies it. I do not doubt that Adam, Eve, and Abel existed, but I do doubt that they were they only "humans" walking the Earth at that time in history. They were the only humans with a soul or that had a covenant with God. Where did the wives Adam and Eves sons come from? Some of them just seem to pop up from other lands. To understand Genesis as infallably scientific, is to not understand the meaning of the words that Jesus spoke. He never once discounted the possibilities of scientific discoveries. If you continue to follow doctrine as specified by men, you will be entering the wide gate. If you follow the true word of Jesus you will find truth. Jesus quotes scripture from the Old Testiment, but never classifies it all as infallalable. When he says that you do not hear the word of my Father, he was referring to the words that he actually spoke. The only "man" in the NT Bible that claims all scripture is infallable or "God-breathed" is Paul. I feel that some Christians that take this state of mind, are using the Bible as their idol. They do not understand it as a guide for living their lives. To understand what Jesus has done for us, does not require that we believe in a literal six day creation account, that has been imbedded in the minds of many by "men". If parts of the Bible are in error, then it would make more sense, since men wrote it. Men that did not have the complete understanding of the world. A few hundred years ago, religious men said the world was flat. That was obviously disproven, and Jesus never claimed to be flat, just like he doesn't claim the Bible to be perfect. He only tells us that his true word is the truth, and the truth will set you free. I do not find my faith in Jesus' word failing, just because I don't believe the Bible as being inerrant. |
