The Christian Bible versus Darwin's Evolutionary Theory

In Christianity, God's creation of man, and the science of evolution parallels are one in the same, to someone that has studied both to in-depth.

In "The Book of Genesis," God's creation of the heavens and earth are portrayed as a metaphor, which gives the storyline but not all the exact details as to how this came about. "The Book of Genesis" states that in the first seven days, ("God days," not ours), God created the heavens and the earth. Science teaches "The Big Bang Theory," but does not explain what initiated it, or set it into motion. The scientific view doesn't credit that “God or a higher power” was the controlling or governing factor in these events. The parallels are the same, just stated differently.

Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines the word Chaos as "a state of things in which chance is supreme; esp.: the confused unorganized state of primordial matter before the creation of distinct forms." In Genesis, the Bible also states God made man from the dust of the earth.

If you have ever studied the science of the first evolutionary creations of life on earth, from the science posture, the first simple celled creatures on the earth was first formed from the geographical coincidence of a particular group of chemical and element materials that where in close proximity of each other, and also happened to also receive a electrical charge to them, presumably via a nearby lightning strike or possibly another chemical mixture that created the electrical charge and put into motion the first basic life on earth; The parallel from Genesis; God made man from the dust of the earth. Why could one not agree that this was ordained by God?

"The Book of Genesis" also states that God made the plants and creatures before He made Man. Science states that through the on-going evolution, higher life forms evolved through the tenacity of each form struggling to survive in its current environment. Some survived and continued to evolve, and other forms perished in the struggle.

To my understanding the parallels are the same, just stated differently; and the scientific view doe not give God credit for being the controlling or governing factor in these events, nor does the Bible state specifically how this was done as well.

If one studies the science of evolution, you learn that all living things go through a metamorphosis in their evolution, and usually has a branch of it's evolution that takes a different path or coarse and develops at a different rate and design, always attempting to adapt to its environment. Some do not develop with enough adaptively to its environment to survive, and hence becomes extinct, which ends that species particular branch, but other branches do survive and some become predominant in their species.

For example, the true difference between Apes and Mans chromosomes are genetically is very slight. This is simply a mathematical argument that is hard to argue against. The true evolutionary physical difference between these species is, that at the point of birth, Man's skull is still soft and hasn't fully formed yet, (not fully closed at the top). This allows for our brain to continue growing past the 9 month gestation period being in the womb. An Ape's brain is enclosed in a skull cap that has already hardened at birth, which doesn't allow this continual grow that Man has, but to me, this still does not mean that we did not evolve from the Ape. It just states that in our evolutionary mutation from our Ape ancestors, we adapted to our environment in a slightly different way. Again, this is where God should get the credit as the controlling or governing factor to bring about Man.

In "The Book of Genesis" it states that God created Man, in this metaphor it just does not give the blow by blow details of how God made this come about. Some tend to believe that God waved his hand, or just had the thought, and poof man appeared! Again, I stress that Genesis does not say this, or allude to how God brought this about.

The non-religious tend to believe that life developed through conquering the overwhelming and astronomical mathematical odds, and ignoring "The Chaos Theory" between math and real life situations. And that is where the argument starts.

Christians and Darwinists, or the non-religious should have no true argument between them in this matter of how all life and man evolved, with an in-depth understanding the Bible, science, and "The Chaos Theory" between math and real life situations.

In my studies and understanding of both, and belief, which some call Creationism, there really is not an argument or difference between the two versions of creation and evolution.
