Oh, you're gonna get it! You're gonna cause a commotion.
Good job!
For later.
"Worst footnotes ever."
One comment: The bible is the root of protestant creationist theory. Evolutionary theory is atheistic in its origins.
It seems in Russia, evolution has reached the "religion" status that it has in the United STates, where honest inquiry is not allowed, where no one dare question it lest they incur the wrath of the high priest gatekeepers of the faith, where atheism has become the de facto state religion of the United States government (just check the gupament schools' curriculum for proof), which is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. Thank goodness Russia has some sense; but, then again, they have seen the results of mindless evolutionary theory - 50 million dead!
If you don't have the time or attention span or if the words are to long, don't read it, no one is holding a gun to your head.
Those were in Russian but the ASCII script on FR only supports basic ASCII not the full range. Thus what you are seeing is the numeric values of those characters instead of the actual character.
You are most welcome.

Jesus Himself said that Moses wrote of Him. Jesus quoted from most books of the Old Testament, including the Noah flood account. Any Christian who believes evolutionary theory has to deal with the words of Jesus Christ, who said: "In the beginning, God made them male and female." The beginning simply means the beginning with reference to time. Time did not exist before God created the universe and the physical laws.
Yeah right. Tell that to the scores of Christian scientists who made almost all of science's biggest discoveries (Newton, Kepler, Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, etc. etc. etc.), and they did it somehow without believing in evolutionary theory. Quite a feat!
Evolutionary biologists and other atheistic scientists are the ones whose science cannot tbe trusted - they are not even brethren. The operate on a false premise - that God doesn't exist - philosphical atheism. They are anti-Christs (as is anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ - see book of 1John).
Is God not allowed to use allegory? Christ used parables to teach, would His Father not have the same right to put the story of His creation into terms mortal man could grasp?
As for this being an issue to cause doubt for the literalness of other passages of the Bible, personal prayer for guidance and study of each part you may question seem to me to be a good first step in asking God for aid in understanding His Word.
Most of them belonged to another church that accepts physical evolution also: Catholics or Lutherins.
If Adam and Eve aren't real, then neither is sin. That simple. No way around it. So why is he death of God's Son necessary again?
Good piece, worth careful reading. This fits more or less my view of the matter, which is that creation is not yet complete and continues to this day... and that evolution and its various competing theories are arguments about tools in the tool bag. The Bible reveals to us that God did certain things; science attempts to figure out "how" he did it.
I have personally never seen any automatic conflict between the notion that God created the earth and the scientists' attempt to understand the mechanics and underlying principles of creation. My understanding, in fact, is that God commands us to try and learn the underlying principles.
Silly boy - many of them predate Darwin. Newton, Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, and here are some other scientists who made big discoveries PRE-darwin: William Herschel (discoverred Uranus), John Flamsteed (map of the stars), Jean DeLuc (geology), James Parkinson (who named the disease), John Dalton (atomic theory), Ben Franklin (check out his speech at Const. convention), Robert Boyle (father of modern chemistry), Blaise Pascal (mathematician).
Now here some contemporary with Darwin who didn't buy his crappy theory: Lord Kelvin (has his own temperrature scale), James Maxwell (physics - kinetic theory of gases), John Ambrose Fleming (pioneered electronics), joseph Lister (antiseptic surgery), and Louis Pasteur (heard of him?). In addition, 717 scientists (including 86 members of the Royal Society) signed a manifesto called "The Declaration of Students of teh natural and Physical Sciences" in 1864 that affirmed their confidence in the bile's scientific integrity.
Who says Adam and Eve weren't real? In your rush to criticize God for using a writing style you disapprove of, you overlook that He isn't limited by your logical confines. However He chose to create life, and with it man, He held absolute power to instill the soul of His children into the physical shells any way He wished. I know I am no one to tell Him He couldn't do it in any particular way.
