Again, this is not a conflict of faith and science. Faith and science are not two masters. There is one master and that is God. I don’t have any doubt whatsoever about God. Science is not atheistic. That includes evolutionary biology. Evolution is not related to atheism at all. By being 100%...

Again, I’m not an atheist by any means. Before I even believed in evolution strongly or gave much thought to it by studying Hebrew and studying patterns of the Tanakh and seeing what other scholars teased out of the stories and studying literature analysis it became clear a literal...

I’m not in the same position as you. Even without the theory of evolution, disregarding it completely, contextual analysis of genesis 1-11 shows that it’s not literal history. It’s a mythology. Same as revelation is a end times mythology. It’s set up very clearly as an ancient Mesopotamian...

Which paper was the most profound to me would be one about passionflowers and and butterflies and the development of mimicry. The paper about soft tissue in the T. rex was really cool. The evolution of fruit of the pawpaw trees related to the consumption of the mega fauna like the giant American...

That’s not accurate. Darwin did not steal the ideas. He was already independently working on it. He ran into many problems along the way including ships sinking and having to almost start over from the beginning. He made very good observations. Even down to considering spiders use electricity...

ummmm have you checked any of the thousands of peer reviewed scientific papers from paleontology, evolutionary ecology, or genetics? Cause ..... thousands of them.

You’re acting like I have been hiding something. My posts on this thread, and many others is very clear. Genesis 1-11 is not wrote in a manner to be taken literally. It’s wrote in a very ahistorical, mythological manner just like Revelation. It skips over 2,500 years of history in a few...

Expose what? Basic understanding of contextual analysis of scripture and science...

The same process for micro evolution is the same process for macro evolution. Same as adaptations. Micro evolution results in species variations and eventually subspecies. Then over time , as the fossil record shows, we see these gradual changes result into speciation which is called macro...

They are 100% compatible because genesis 1-11 is not a historical or scientific origins story to creation. It’s a Jewish mythological account setting up the patterns for the Torah and even to the gospels. Lots of scholarly work has been done on the contextual analysis of those chapters.

That makes no sense.......it’s just pointless ramblings that I know you believed was witty and meant something but it’s not at all related to the context of what I said. Look at the build up of Jesus and his name, and Gods name in general, and compare all of that to the few sentences leading up...

You can see what I actually asked right here.....

Do you think that’s the question I was asking when I said look at their lineages? Because I asked also about their genealogy right? I imagine most wont even know what they are looking at when they read them though. ThTs why I asked instead of telling. To really learn you must be willing to study...

I suggest spending two months and an hour or two a day to read some books wrote on this topic. These questions are why it’s so important, and why schools are now mandated to teach biological sciences including evolution in the classrooms.

As a Christian obviously I believe God did it too. Just not by making a pile of dust watered by mist that he breathed into and the golem became a living being and then it was split in half ( and it is split in half not rib. Look at it in hebrew. That’s the only place the word rib is translated...

Read Cain’s lineage and then Seth’s lineage. The point of their place in scripture is within the context of what’s wrote. It’s a small but beneficial berean study showcasing the pattern set up throughout the Bible about eternal life vs destruction. Righteousness vs sin.

https://biblehub.com/text/genesis/1-27.htm That’s a link to the Hebrew showing what I was referring to as in Adam being a “clade” and eventually a personal name. anyways I’m off to bed. I have lots of post hurricane sally work coming up. But I’m also working on a fun project for a local...

All truth is a gods truth. Including evolution.

Do you think there is any reason why the genealogical records within genesis 1-11 is very different from the ones after? Or why did the genealogies of Cain and Seth get wrote completely different?

Science has nothing to do with disproving God. The purpose of science is not to disprove a God. The earliest scientists were funded by the church with the goal of learning more about a Gods creation and that is still the same goal for thousands of Christians. What’s not sciences parameters...
