Yes I have heard of it, But theistic evolution does not line up with the bible world view.

What it actually does is try to combine a godless world view with a God world view.

The problem with this in my view is that its pure speculation at best.

Nature is not godless, nor is truth.

If evolution can be seen in world´s history, Bible cannot contradict it. If it does, it is a wrong interpretation.

Have you heard of theistic evolution?

Its a view that everything evolves but God is the creator and guides it.

It combines the facts we can see in nature and explains why evolution did so many improbable turns.

I stand by my post in Evolution Debunked: The last paragraph explains what I call adaption some call micro-evolution. I have not studied your theistic evolution so I can't make observations. :cool:

I agree nature is not godless.

But "if" is the important word here.

There is no raw data that proves evolution in regards to life origins. Its not the data but the world view that spins the data in that direction.
 
Biblical, wisdom and understanding start at being aware of God and who He is and What he has done. This gives us a foundation in which to read raw data.

Theistic Evolution=The way a retarded God would have done it.
 
Dang. What wonderful responses to my question in the OP. Thanks to each of you for your contribution. I will read again and look at the links.

The dinosaurs have always intrigued me.

By the way, I appreciate each and every one who has participated.

They exist today as miniature, chromosomally damaged descendants of their ancestors, just like us.

Yeah, also where I live in Florida you can visit Dino World for a nominal admission price. Personally, I would rather visit Jurassic Park and see the Velociraptor's in action.

Actually, they were not according to scripture.

Genesis 1: 24,25
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

​
This happened on the 6th day of creation.
 
The flood explains most of the changes to the world we know today and the world that evolution states is millions of years old. Evolution is proven wrong from many angles and they even know it, but they will never admit that there is a God and the bible account is accurate because of pride and selfishness. Therefore the world is being lied to and most people are following this lie unknowingly.

can you show this from scripture?

Here is my point of view.

Before day 1 god had already created heaven and Earth.

.[/QUOTE]
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.


Before those days from 1-7,.Earth existed in a form different than we know now and a different atmosphere. He doesn't say it was non existent because it scripture says "his spirit was hovering over the waters
" .So during those times I am assuming dinosaurs existed for a while and god caused the Mass extinction of it because he was unhappy with all the darkness in the so called Earth. Now dinosaurs are not in the scriptures but I am assuming from the timeline and explanations of science.

After those days of darkness he began the process of reforming the Earth as we now know which is explained in days 1-7.

Entirely possible. Before God started the process of creation as stated in the book of Genesis it states that the earth was formless and empty. What it does not state is that it was always formless and empty. Very interesting perception on your part worthy of consideration.
