In fact evolution supports that plants existed prior to fish and birds, and that fish and birds existed prior to animals, and that animals existed prior to man. Even the Big Bang theory supports Genesis account of the Heavens and the Earth (universe) being without form and void.

There are groups though, like Answers in Genesis, who really seem to see the Bible as a science text book.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718837086000788837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-689220647977008200.post-15539292878712030962010-09-30T05:58:24.077-07:002010-09-30T05:58:24.077-07:00Well said.

I often think that Christians and non-Christians alike tend to look at the Bible as a science or history textbook, which is definitely not the case. The Bible is a written account of God's plan of salvation for His chosen people. Where it intersects with science and history just further proves the accuracy of the events, but I don't believe it was ever written to explain scientific theory or historical events one way or the other. The Creation story in Genesis is just that. Perhaps God is vague for a reason because the method of creation is not the important lesson to be learned in the story, the importance of the story is that God indeed created man and the purpose for which he created them. I don't think that Christians who believe in some sort of evolutionary theory discount the power of God in any way because most will agree with your argument that God was the First Cause.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848445830579814443noreply@blogger.com
