Welcome to Gaia! ::

which parts religion and science is fact? I personally am a scientific person thats also a christian, I am asking what do you think about the diffrent issues out there, like big boom vs creation, and evolution vs creation. after a couple posts I will say what I think

o.k. I'm here to give my Advanced opinion here

(please note in another thread i asked Ang to create a new section so if she does this here will get moved)

I've spent many years considering this question. believe me when i say I've considered all the "reasonable" theory's. I've also discussed it with my parents who are lay readers in our church.

My conclusion is that both are true. Evolution and Creation. It's a question of understanding how both can coincide.

1) The Big bang Happened. But Matter does not simply come into existence by it's self. By rights' according to Physic's the Universe should not exist. But it does and somehow the matter must have come from somewhere. hence us.

2) The Earth is supporting life. And not just any life. According to evolution life came to earth and grew from basic enzymes. Again physicly impossible according to the rules of Physics that the right elements to create life could simply coincide.

3) Creation begins with Adam and Eve right? according to the Bible yes. but almost the whole of the Old Testament was written based on story's told down through the ages. So therefor we must assume the breakdown of Chinese whispers in the story telling. I think it is safe to assume most of the Old Testament is fairly accurate. However we must consider that some content of the first few books are not as some peole might say "The Gospel truth"

4) We are all reasonable thinking humans that can think for ourself's right? Well we should not just listen to what we are told. in fact to be made in gods image means to question! question what I've said by all means. but consider that i have spent years working on my answer to your question. and to be honest. I still am. But i think that my theory fits all of the known evidence?

That's why i suggested a Religion section. Because what you've just come out with Bronze, I from my point of view would class as religious trash.

I'm just curious. But are you with the Roman Catholic Church Denomination?

Only you do seem to be from that branch in your Theology.

I'm asking because it gives me some idea of where your coming from. That way i can make my points more clearer to you, If i know what your background is on Theology and Religion. (If that makes sense?)

(I'm just trying to make sure i come out here as honest, not rude)

But then again about my first point. I'm very Liberal in my approach because i see that as the way from my point of view the church is meant to be. Unfortunately that comes with being very critical of right wing Theology.


Theology = The study of god. Or the "Omnipresent" as some people refer to it.

I've been schooled in both Theology and Science and i still don't know. xd

The out of Africa Theory makes sence.
But I also believe in god.

basically the first humans came out of africa, evolution but with a destination for humans

2 things.

1) don't ever double post

2) That theory? the Garden of Eden if it did exist on earth is so-posed to be in Australia or something.


Goggly: If the world was made in 4500 BC with Just Adam and Eve.

then how on earth is there 6 million people on the planet now? It's just not a feasible population growth from 2 people in that time.

I haven't heard the Austrailia thing.

Remember, when things begin to populate exponentially.. Well it really is amazing how fast the population grows.

The bible never says that Adam and Eve were the only 2 people made by god. ^_~ But theirs is the story told.
