My parents are not my creator, they are my procreators (begeters). My parents are being faithful to God's command to be fruitful and multiply. God created the first pair of humans who enjoy and delight in the mechanism God created to reproduce human life. And this sacred institution has been functioning in this manner for several thousand years.
Show me where Genesis says that God created Adam differently from where Adam's children's wives came from.
Genesis 1:27 "And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Genesis 2:7 "Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." Genesis 2:22) "And the Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man."
God created Adam from the dust. He created Eve from the man. (Both Adam and Eve had special creations.) Cain, Abel, Seth ... were conceived through God's command to Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). This Adam's sons' wives were his (Adam's) female decendents. (My wife is one of Adam's female decendents through Noah; not sure which one of his sons.)
My faith in God is not threatened by lies. We simply believe in a different God. Mine is the God of Genesis as it is written. Yours is your own creative adaptation. I used to make this error, too, until I dared to believe what God has revealed in His Word to be true. I don't have all the answers, but the One who is faithful and true does.
My faith in God is't threatened by evolution. It's too bad your faith is so weak.
I think your faith has been uprooted by evolution. Macro evolution (molecules to man) requires no God. God didn't require macro evolution.
You avoided the question of who your creator is by saying who is not your creator. Well put that down into the "God is your creator" column.
I believe He created Adam too. Just exactly like He created you.
The symbology in Genesis is similar to that in Revelation. Both books were inspired, or revealed, (whatever wording you want) directly from God. Such things are dicy. Note how no two denominations who follow the Bible believe exactly the same thing. Demonstrating that 1) Gods revelations, however perfect, are not interpreted by man perfectly. And 2) different people can read the same Bible and conclude different things.
I don't think God needed to violate His own physical laws of time and space and physics in order to create man. But I do think He needed to dumb down Genesis so that literally any man of the last three milienia could understand that God was the creator. The creation stories in Genesis are only a few hundred words. There's no way any literal history of such a huge creation could be written without losing lots of details, like evolution.
God is not a liar. And His creation tells us in many many ways that the earth is very old, and life and man evolved over billions of years. He does not lie in Genesis either. But you are an imperfect man, and have interpreted His book in a way contrary to the evidence God provided you in His creation.
The sad part is that you force people into choosing whether to believe the evidence in front of their own eyes from Gods own creation, but which contains no explanation of salvation. Or the Bible as interpreted by you, that does tell of salvation. Some people will choose what they can see over what they can't, and lose their salvation in the process.
And that will be your fault.
