\"\"<\/a> The last two Sundays have been a little eye opening. Our Adult Sunday School class began a study of Genesis and I found that many people in the class. Meaning, almost all who spoke up, do not believe in the Theory of Evolution. I was surprised. Shame on me!! I spoke up the first Sunday, played nice the second, shame on me again!!!<\/p>\n

So I guess that I could refute what they believe in, but guess what, I won’t. I don’t want to argue. Has anybody ever won an argument?<\/p>\n

Instead I’ll talk about what I believe. Don’t worry, this is going to be short, I’m spreading it out.<\/p>\n

I’m taking a lot of material from an excellent web site called Theistic Evolution – One Christian’s Perspective<\/a>. There is also an excellent post<\/a> on the New Scientist web site.<\/p>\n

What do I believe about how man came to be here:<\/strong> I find no conflict whatsoever between Evolution, including Natural Selection, and the Creation Account of Genesis. I do not feel like I am “rationalizing” the two or twisting the concepts or anything. I believe that God made man (and woman).<\/p>\n

Some of my fellow Christians make fun by saying “So you think that man came from the ooze.” I say no, the Bible teaches that God made man from dust. (Gen 2:7). Not much difference to me between dust and ooze, besides a little moisture.<\/p>\n

I’ll tell you one thing. I’m not sitting silent any longer. I may be sitting somewhere else but I’m not keeping my mouth shut on this subject.<\/p>\n

See I think this fake conflict between Spiritual matters and Scientific matters is important. I think that it is important because I think many people think they have to choose between believing in God, or believing in Science. I think Science reveals God’s creation to us. I don’t think it refutes it. I think that Science is a tool, it is not a religion. I love Science. The more I learn about our World and our Universe, the more I am in awe of God and his wonderful creation.<\/p>\n

That’s all for now. What do you think? I would like to know.<\/p>\n

Just so you know. I like my Sunday School Class and all the people in it. They are great folks. I just didn’t know them as well as I should. They are not shunning me. I think they feel a little sorry for me. It doesn’t change my high opinion I have about any of them. Also, they all know loads more about the Bible than I do. They are all spiritual warriors. They are also first in line to help just in case anybody needs a helping hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
