Stick around...things get MUCH stranger
Some extra time on my hands
natural selectionSo I thought I'd post about the conversation that Kristina and I had last night!
Last night we discussed many things about life, faith, and love. We started discussing the connections between the Creationism and Evolutonist theories. As I stand, I am a firm believer in the fact that the Big Bang happened, but I believe that God orchistrated it. As it is in the natural selection (only the strong will survive) theory, I believe that God was also behind all of that. Last night Kristina mentioned something that really made my brain start working. She mentioned that she believes that God, as he says in The Bible, created each type of species. Taking the canine family as an example, she went on to say that she feels that God created one canine, like a phenotype, generic "dog". Which in turn, due to certain environments and God's hand behind natural selection turned into the different kinds of canines we knoe today, the wolf, the coyote, the dingo, and so on. This was really interesting and I think it's a pretty neat way to explain thse natural phenominon.
After she said this, I pointed out that God created Darwin, and his thoughts, so therefore a correlation between the two seemed a given.
Another thing she mentioned was something that she was interested in doing was putting fossil records beside Genisis and seeing if the fossil records supported the work of God during those 6 days. Seeing if fossils of plants came before those of the birds and sea creatures and such. I think that's nifty.
After she talked about this I started talking about when she thought humans came around. Both of us came to the agreement that what we know today as the "Homo Erectus" was where human development started. Both of us believe that Adam and Eve were more primitive humans such as the Neanderthalls. Scientific and anthropological evidence shows us that those types of people were alive, she there really is no denying it.
One other thing we disussed was what a "day" during the Creation story was. Was a day the 24 hrs we know today or was it more like 7 million years? I think that a day then was as many years/decades/centuries as God needed to complete His work for each "day".
Something else that struck me yesterday happened while I was on the phone with Eric. He mentioned to me about the fact that one day his mother mention to him that maybe we are still living in that 6th "day". I mean, clearly, humans haven't figured out how to rest yet. Something else that I have been pondering this morning is maybe that time of rest doesn't come until our death. Maybe the 7th "day" will only happen when all of humankind can rest together. Awesome.
Today I am literally walking on sunshine. Today has been such a great day so far.
More later, perhaps!
Oh wow, old song on Pandora.com
