But just to remind you, you originally said that only black bears produce black bears and not white bears. I gave an example of how black bears through the process of evolution in fact do produce predominantly white bears. You've already been shown that does happen in the example of the peppered moths, I linked you to read.
Speciation is that same process, drawn out of much longer periods of time, say for instance those black bears could no longer genetically reproduce with other bears and become classified as another species. It's the same process you have rock solid evidence for with the peppered moths, simply extended over greater time periods.
Sure! It doesn't specify the actual mechanisms of how that happened, does it? Imagine the Bible writers somehow actually knowing what modern science does magically without any of the tools it has at its disposal? No one would understand it! Not even the authors!
Same thing if a scientific understanding 2000 years in our own futures were to suddenly be presented to us. No one would understand it! It would be discarded as meaningless to anyone alive today.
So when the Bible simply says "God made us", and uses very simplistic, childlike images of clay and magic appearances, that is something a child can understand. And a child is what they were. They were not modern scientists!
Why is it so hard to take what science shows in how evolution creates all these wondrous and magical creations of nature, and understand that as how God creates? Genesis can easily be understood as true from a high-level, "God creates all life" understanding, simply using metaphorical language that a child could understanding without needing an advanced degree in microbiology?
Evolution does not deny God. It only means you need to understand your reading of Genesis a little more symbolically, and less literal sciency. It's not meant to be sciency. It's meant to be spiritual. Our ideas about God, and what God is, are different things. Thank God for science to tell us a little bit more about God!
Me too. Except I cannot reject the facts of the data we have in order to support an earlier, outdated idea about how God actually creates.
You're saying God could not use evolution to create? He has to do it according to the rules you set for Him? How does that work?
You set the limits for God because you interpreted a story about Creation a certain way in your mind, and science has to fit that or it's wrong? God can't create through evolution, because you say so?
I believe that as well. All life is magically and wonderfully created by the Divine. And evolution is how the Divine creates. That creation continues from moment to moment, not just once in the ancient past. The evidence of that is abundantly springing up around us everyday. I see evolution as the Divine Spirit in motion. Why can't you?
What's more likely true, that the majority of the world's scientists in multiple fields of the sciences are all wrong, or that your reading of Genesis could be misguided a little? The answer to that seems pretty obvious, doesn't it?
