the beginning?

hey there,
So, I have this tough topic on my mind tonight. Evolution or Creation? It's not on my mind of which one is true, and which one isn't; my thoughts are more, the mix of the two, is it possible to mix them? I don't mean the change of characteristics in animals over time, I'm talking more about how it's said we evolved from tiny specks way back when. I don't see how that can really be true. It's been proven that things scientists have been going off of to come up with this theory about evolution aren't accurate.
I have been talking to my friends about this topic and learned what some of their opinions were. Someone brought up the topic about possibly mixing the two. And how since God's days could be longer than ours, when he created the animals sometime in those days we evolved. But I can't see how this can be true. In the bible it says God created the animals. Later, he created man to watch over the animals, and to name every kind. We were put on this earth to watch over it, now how good of a job we're doing, I'm not quite sure, but that was God's intention for us.
The Bible says God took his very hands and molded man from the dirt in the ground. Now if you can tie that with us being monkeys?...let me know. The Bible goes on to say that man feel into a DEEP sleep (like knock-me-out sleep!) took a rib from the man and made woman.
So do you see where I'm coming from, how could we have evolved? And how could the two be intertwined? I just don't see it. Especially if you believe God's word, but then think we evolved. They were to separate times. I'm just torn between what to say without pushing them away. How do you deal with something you know to be true and you thought the same of the other person, but then it turns out you are on two totally different pages? I pray for this person constantly and I ask if you have just read this and can see where I am coming from, that you too will pray for them.

I have been thinking about this SO much too. I would say the scientists theory, that all of a sudden it just happened, then after billions of years little things started to develop on their own, is bogus, BUT what if God caused all of it. Not a build up of energy, not magic, or whatever else they can think of, but God.
However time lines don't add up. If they did it would be so simple, and I'm sure I would be able to add another good hour of sleep to my night each evening. These questions have to have been asked over and over by thousands upon thousands of people, young and old alike, yet still no answer.
For now I will stick to the path I have always followed. God created the earth period. He created man, not form another primate, but from the earth its self. End of story.
And who knows, maybe God planted the evidence of the Big Bang and all that just to test us. It could happen. He has tried us in the past. Maybe now he is seeing whether we will be live our machines and stuff or his own word. Not much of a contest if you ask me.

I am going to agree with you on this fully. I think the same thing. Ever since i can remember, going to science class and thinking to myself... this isnt what is says in the bible. It confused me so much. I just forgot about it and continued on with school.
This year the topic was brought up again... while we were talking. haha :) It really gets people thinkg. Well no matter what i will always believe God did it. I only wish school wouldnt push so hard on the fact that it was all about science.
Yea pretty sure it wasnt! GOD, GOD, and yea thats right GOD!!!! haha idk i guess people just have different opinions.

Mucho Love
