Instead, the story is truly an Allegory of our lives.<br /><br />The idea is to have all scientists reconcile with each other and seek the Truth on the matter. Certainly, a lot of evil has been committed in the Name of Evolution (and is still being committed). Nazi death camps, a One World Communist Utopia, and people thinking that the Constitution is outdated since Wilson's time are the result of Evolution being explained the way that it is.<br /><br />But then a lot of Evil was committed in the name of God too (basically all War till the Late Renaissance is Religious War). The thing that sucks is that the Truth isn't being embraced on the matter. Truth is truth, though. An honest heart will always embrace it when its presented.Eltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111706553184455710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329289809056681372.post-58924439739741565832010-03-28T00:09:28.377-07:002010-03-28T00:09:28.377-07:00There is a way to reconcile a literal understandin...There is a way to reconcile a literal understanding of Genesis with the fossil and genetic evidence suggesting that all species branched off from a common anscestor. "Guided Modification and Branching" is a form of intelligent design that suggests that the design of species did arise over millions of years by species branching off to form new species from a common anscestor, but that this process was guided by God, and that the resulting new species were not left to chance.<br /><br />The Genesis account is literal, not allegory, but the earth existed before the six days of creation. The account of the six days describes how God renewed the surface of the earth, repairing the damage caused by a previous catastrophe that left the surface of the earth desolate. But the earth existed, and prior to the disaster that struck the earth it could have been filled with life for millions of years, and the life forms that existed at that time would include species whose fossils scientists have found.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
