Theistic evolutionary theory does not call God a liar. Genesis was not written to be a science manual. The words of Genesis can still be true in a spiritual sense (which is deeper imo then any literal sense).
With all due respect, you did not write Genesis and have no authority to declare whether it is scientifically accurate or not. It is God's word which mean God inspired it literally exactly as he wanted it. If God said he did it in 6 days then God did it in 6 days. God's word stands forever while the supposed maxims of science change with nearly every new discovery. Why do we want to add evolution to the Bible when there is no empirical evidence for the theory and it is ever changing. It's like taking a rubber ruler and using it to judge and change a perfectly formed steel ruler. Popular science like the rubber ruler is ever changing and what was accepted 100 years ago or less, is laughed at today. The Bible is the permanent inspired word of God which has never changed, and never been proven wrong, even though it has been the most controversial, the most attacked book in history. The worst that satan can through at the Bible have all come up short. Why would you take something so shaky, unreliable and ever changing as popular theories disguised as science theories over something so rock solid and foundational as God's own word?
Science means knowledge. Not guess-edge, not believe-edge. The difference between knowing and believing is vastly different. The best definition I know of science is: Knowledge gained by observation. Evolution is by definition not science because it has never been observed and even the evidence in the fossil record does not support it. Considering all the evidence available in creation to an open minded seeker, I believe it takes far more faith to believe evolution than Genesis.
Further evolution does call God a liar because it contradicts God on so many levels.
God said when creation was complete that it was "very good" and that man was created in his image. God says death is the result of the sin committed by Adam and Eve in the Garden and that death is an enemy that will be destroyed. Evolution says that man was created by millions of years of death through failed and/or incomplete mutations until we finally arrived at what we are now. It also leaves open that we are not finished evolving and that death and mutations are a good thing, a means to a better end in higher evolutionary state.
The God of the Bible is not an ape as evolution would teach since their first humanoid was a form of ape. Adam was created in the image of God, and the Bible says that Jesus is the image of the invisible God (Col 1:15). Therefore Adam was created in the image of Jesus, and Jesus did not look like an ape or humanoid form of ape.
The Genesis account clearly says 6 normal days were the length of time for creation. The verse about a day being like a thousand years doesn't negate this for various reasons. One of which is the very same verse says a thousand years are as one day. It would seem contradictory except the point being is that God is not limited by time. Another reason is that it doesn't merely say this part of creation happened on this day and another part happened another day leaving room for millions of years between each day. On the contrary Gen 1 verses 5, 8, 13, 19, 23, and 31 all say each of the 6 days were marked by "...the evening and the morning..." This clearly delineates 6 normal days and leaves no room for interpretation. At Mount Sinai when God gave the law by his own mouth he reiterated that it was six literal days in Exo 20:11 by saying, "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is..." He was speaking to people living normal length days and spoke his word literally just as he wanted it understood.
There are so many aspects of this argument that it would be impossible to cover it. It has been well said that evolution is a fairy tale for grownups. A story that happened "long ago and far away" of which there is no empirical evidence. We would do well to remember the admonition from Paul to the young man of God, "O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen." 1 Timothy 6:20-21
RubyCrystal, your point is valid and is so scriptural that it also would be impossible to fully explain in the space allowed here. Without God there is no basis for morality, death would be a good thing, and mutations/abnormally born children would just part of evolution instead evidences of a world cursed by sin and under the power of satan, the god of this world. Yes satan is the god of this world, the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, " But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." Romans 6:16 "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" God gave Adam dominion over creation and he gave that power to satan when he yielded to satan's will in sin as do the majority of people in the world today.
The very fact that there is a foundational morality existent in every human being alive, regardless of whether they have ever heard the gospel, is even more proof of God's reality and the accurate truth of his Word. Even cannibalistic tribes declare this truth when they take revenge on a neighboring tribe for killing and eating someone from their tribe. The worst thief in the world would be upset and likely take revenge if someone stole from him. People who commit adultery still get upset if they find out their partner did the same. Romans 2:14-15 "14 "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; )"
As I said, the many aspects of this discussion would be impossible to fully lay out in the time allowed here. As God's own word says, creation is proof of the Creator Romans 1:19-20 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" Far be it from us to pervert (alter/change) God's pure word but ever live in submission to God. If ever tempted to do so may we remember the rebuke of Acts 13:9-10 to Elymas, "Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?"
May God graciously give us understanding of his word. May we ever remember and heed Paul's admonition to Timothy regarding science falsely so called and never need the rebuke of Elymas for attempting to pervert the revelation of the most High God found in his perfect inspired holy Word.
