Creation versus Evolution: The great debate that rages on. Theory
after theory after theory is proposed, with not even a hint of
"middle ground" from either of the two opposing camps. To not be
able to come to a definitive answer or conclusion for our human
origins quite simply means that "they" do not know. It's all
guesswork. The clear reality for both sides of this ultimately
foolish and corrosive debate is that we humans are here on earth.
We exist, we are here. Descartes: "I think, therefore I am." So
irrespective of Bible Scripture, theological musing, empirical
scientific skepticism or any other notion, the very fact that we
are here on earth very logically means that only one process -
obviously the same for all races - actually brought it about.
Moreover, to decide or conclude that we "can never really know" is
a nonsense-notion. For it is not possible for a question to not
have an answer. Of course we can know. Is that not our purpose on
earth; to know? If not, what is the point? The crucial Bible
Scripture: "BUT MAN BECAME A LIFE-CONTAINING SOUL" - actually
provides the key for both science and Christian fundamentalism. It
reveals that the quantum leap from primate to human was not one
given life by human genetics through simple 'brain development' by
normal but slow 'evolutionary processes'. It was a quantum leap
precisely because a new and very different Life-force and power was
required for humans to be human, completely distinct and very far
removed from the animal primate. The Bible thus notates and
explains the "human/chimp split" a very long time before science
reared its oftentimes strange head on earth. Moreover, that
absolutely necessary change therefore precluded any possibility for
primates to simply evolve into humans The 98.4 percent of similar
DNA in both monkey and man thus concerns the respective physical
bodies only. And that is why they - the genes and the respective
types of bodies - both rot away at death. We are not our physical
body Notwithstanding that ultimate reality, there was still the
necessity for evolutionary development of that material form. Thus:
..".evolution by descent from a common ancestor is clearly true...
The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome." Dr. Francis S.
Collins. M.D. Ph.D. The sticking point in this whole debate is
perhaps not actually that of Creation versus Evolution, but
probably more that of the time-frame required for both together For
if a time period for such a thing as "Evolutionary-Creation" can be
logically established then both viewpoints can be accommodated in
perfect harmony. In our view, therefore, the one key question in
this debate that must be considered - yet rarely is - is: "Can
Creation also be Evolution?" And/or vice-versa? Our reply is an
unequivocal: - Yes, it can. And, moreover, it is The ongoing
problem in this case is one of incorrect interpretation. SO: WHAT
IS THE CORRECT INTERPRETATION? The correct interpretation lies in
recognising the fundamental differences between Chapter 1 and
Chapter 2 of The Book of Genesis. The misinterpretation from
Christian orthodoxy thus lies in attempting to ascribe two very
different processes - one, Creation, the other, primarily Evolution
- to a singular, 7 earth-day, Creation time-frame in Chapter 1, and
attempting to also include in that time-frame the completely
separate processes that Chapter 2 explains. That includes the
erroneous belief that the First Creation of Man - both male and
female - refers to man on Earth. The Christian Church, earthly
science and committees of PhD and degree-toting Bible "scholars"
are the "triune" of earthly power and defective education which
persistently clings to, and continues to intellectually debate,
this ridiculous and corrosive divide. Backing the so-called
"expert" opinions and Bible translations, the main Bible Publishers
continue to reproduce the same appalling errors.
