Today we find many christians who beleive in evelution. Oh they beleive God created, but by means of evelution. The Geneses narrative is just a story, to them, given by God to people who couldent understand it all fully.
Now I coulder care less how God created, whether He took six seconds, minets, 600 years, etc. That we are created is what matters. OK thus far Theistic evolutunionists and I agree.
Now as reguards to evolution. I'm quite amazed at how many scientists, not just creationists, see a problem with the whole theory of evolution. So we can say, for many scientists, the jury is still out on this one. It still remains a theory, one thats mathamaticaly immpossible. Just work out the odds for all evolutionists claim!
But many christions dont want to appear dumb in this world, beleiving evolution must be true, after all its taught in universities, so they hold to evolution as God's way of creating. But, "Houston we have a problem." These same christians also beleive that God dosent lie. After all they accept His Word that He loves them.
Why does God say six days? Why pick this time scale? Maybe He actualy did creat in six days, a time scale we could grasp and understand. To presume God had to creat through evolutionary proccess and time scale, is limiting God to our modern scientific preferance. So we might fit in with the world view.
God spoke and creation happened, Being God He could use any time scale He wants.
However, His Word says "six days". He wants us to beleive what He tells us, He is love, Jesus died for our sins, rose from the grave, is comming back again, etc. So, if He wants us to beleive His Word, why start with a lie? Does God lie, mislead us? Was evolution, so-called, just too difficult for God (Who is God) to explain? Holding this view is to limit God.
I study theology a lot, love it, it makes me realise our God is an amazing big God. His being and power is quite beyond our finite minds. But I trust Him (being God) to tell the truth. If He dosent, we are totaly lost my friends, without any solid hope.
So God says "six days", why He did it in this time scale I have no idea? But He says He did! Soo friends, does God lie? Why should He lie? He after all is God!
