Why do so many Christians struggle with the idea of God creating evolutionary processes?

After all, nothing in Genesis denies that evolution has taken place in bringing about the diversity of species. (After all, the Bible speaks of God creating everything, but never provides details about when, how long, and through what processes God created the biosphere we observe today.)

    Charles Darwin miserably in his quest to validate his argument on Evolution.

    God created the Heaven and Earth as the Holy Bible declares (Genesis 1:1). Don't put faith in theories. Have faith in God.

    Charles Darwin did not use good logic in his famous book, "The Origin of Species."

    W.R. Thompson, a Canadian entomologist(entomology-study of insects) of international repute, wrote in his introduction to the centennial edition of Darwin's Origen, "Darwin did not show in the Origin that species had originated by natural selection; he merely showed, on the basis of certain facts and assumptions, how this might have happened, and as he had convinced himself he was able to convince others.

    Chapter 4 of the Origin, entitled "Natural Selection; or the Survival of the Fittest," occupies 44 pages in the 1958 mentor edition. In this chapter Darwin used the language of speculation, imagination, and assumption at least 187 times. For example, pages 118 and 119 contain the following phrases; "may have been," "is supposed to," perhaps," "If we suppose," "may still be," 'it is probable," "will generally tend," "may" "will generally tend," 'If," 'if...assumed," "supposed," "supposed," "probably," "It seems, therefore, extremely probable," and "We may suppose." Is this really the language of science? No, it is not.

    Of Darwin's speculative arguments Thompson wrote, "....Personal convictions, simple possibilities, are presented as if they were proofs, or at least valid arguments in favor of the theory....The demonstration can be modified without difficulty to fit any conceivable case. It is without scientific value, since it cannot be verified; but since the imagination has free rein, it is easy to convey the impression that a concrete example of real transmutation (change of one species to another) has been given."

    Have faith dear friends in God, not theories.

    Genesis 1:1

    Isaiah 45:18

    Colossians 1:16

    Hebrews 11:1-6

    Genesis 2:1-3

    Exodus 20:8-11

    Psalm 14:1

    Whose to say that God did not evolve each and every thing at its proper time. I.e. begins with bacteria and effortless existence to commence coming up an ecosystem and over the years vegetation then animals and then you've apes and neanderthal. Neanderthal replaced into unable to communicate it really is a sparkling separator from contemporary people. in some unspecified time sooner or later in Gods countless knowledge he wanting to evolve some thing right into a human. because the earth has been round for more desirable or less 4.5 billion years we are able to assumed that folk who imagine that the earth is 6000 years previous or that daily of introduction took 1000 years will in no way understand the reality. As a instructor this is as a lot as you to coach the reality and help teach little ones that technology and faith can bypass hand in hand with a watch of scrutiny for both technology and faith. technology does no longer some thing to the note and could of God and the greatness the messiah in spite of the indisputable fact that it obliterate dogma. Dogma holds human beings decrease back and keeps human beings from increasing their universe. technology isn't anti-God, this is anti-faith. because it obliterates human beings ridiculous preconceived notions of God and His wonders.

    Excellent question. I am a biochemistry major and most of my professors believe in both God and evolution. The idea that the two can never be reconciled is a flat out lie.

    Christianity isn't about knowledge. Most of them do not have knowledge of the Bible, most of them don't even read it. The point of Christianity, is emotional attachment to an idea, to a community of like mindedness, to hope and fear. As with anything that involves with the fear of loss due to evidence proving it false, denial is the greatest tool to keep the mind in a stable state.

    I struggle with evolution because I don't understand how a land animal can become a whale.
