I have been thinking about it a lot, Science contradicts Religion and Religion contradicts Science. Which will you believe? Does Adam and Eve really exist first or the Dinosaurs? Which did come first? I want to know your ideas about this.

As a Christian who was saved late in life, I don't find it difficult to accept evolution. We KNOW there were dinosaurs! Perhaps God put evolution in motion. I believe the Bible is historically true, but not always the literal truth. As well as being a Holy book, it is a work of literature that also uses metaphors. Genesis says that God created the earth in seven days, but how can we be sure this refers to actual days of 24 hours as we know them? Some believe in the dispensation theories. The first dispensation was the era of the dinosaurs. The second dispensation began with the book of Genesis, when God created Adam, the first man in the family line from which Jesus came. It is the dispensation in which we know live. The third dispensation will begin with the return of our Savior. But, it really doesn't matter in the long run what we believe about creationism or evolution. All we really need to agree on is that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, the Son of God, who came to die for our sins.

No, I don't think the Bible is made up. I accept it as the holy word of God. But it was written by man, and has gone through many changes over the centuries. And all translations deliver the same basic message.

i'm a scientist, so i believe in evolution etc etc. I think stories such as adam and eve are just it...stories...a whole collection put into a book the bible made as a guide on how people should live, how to behave etc. I do believe that there is a God, but i don't follow any religion because i see it as brainwashing.

Science without religion is blind Religion without science is stupidity Science with religion is perfect All of the science come from God. He no need explaining about dinosaurus at Holly, because man can finding their fossil as history evidence. So that people can learning and make analizing about it.

Adam and eve are a story. Creation. With the vast knowledge of the complex, God creates the universe with a bang to unfold into what we have today. It's just like a seed grows into a tree.Evolution is just a small part of the picture. Never worry about scientists. Even if they do not believe in God, they are walking straight toward Him. P.S. if adam and eve were true, why leave out all the complex details of science and physics. After all, we want the entire truth.
