The Theory of Evolution and Creationism


             Was mankind created by a slow process of evolution, as fossils indicate, or were we made as an "Adam and Eve," as a literal reading that the Bible tells us? As ofetn is the case, both viewpoints, without a doubt are both correct.
             Scientists believe that our ancestors were a man-animal that we evolved from apes. However, what is the essential difference between man and ape? We share striking similar bodies and have similar genetic codes. Some apes are very intelligent, and can communicate using a language containing hundreds of words. Apes are known to display emotions such as affection and fear, and even have a sense of humor. But where do we draw the line?.
             Since creastionists are Christians, we can (we are able to) speak of the Christian idea of the soul, or inner spirit. It is the part of us that is made in God's image. Our soul is what makes us children of God and fully human. We can lose any part of our bodies without losing any of our humanity.
             If we quite reasonably define man as the complex child of God that combines a material body with a spiritual soul, then the actual creation of man took place when our inteeligent bodies(that had evolved through millions of years) were first imbued with this immortal (eternal) soul. It could very well have been only six thousand years ago.
             Scientists believe that the earth was created/ evolved over millions of years ago, but creationists believe that God created the earth in six days. As a Christian, I belive that God created the earth in six days and that we were created in the image and the glory of Him. What do you belive?.
