Oh this is amazing! I managed to come across a copy of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species. For those unaware it is the book considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. I have been looking for this book forever. I have a theory that Creationism and Evolution can logically go hand in hand and by reading the bible I could prove my theory from that end, with Origin of Species I can now discover if my theory holds true from both ends.

Exactly what do you think is the point of contact between creationism which asserts that all life was created by god over a period of a few days and Darwin's theory of evolution that posits that life evolved over an extended period of several hundred million years. Personally I see no possible point of contact.

The point of contact is expanding how God who is eternal would see a day. When I went over the bible and the theory of Evolution I discovered that this concept of 'day' being only what we as man could perceive as a day was the only real point of conflict I could find. If we go with the supposition that to God a day is much longer then what it is to man then we can see evidence that something more then creationism occurred by the Bible pointing out that Cain after his sin of murdering his brother went into the land of Nod and there took a wife.
If we go from that to supposition that there is more then just intellect to be considered a child of God, but as the bible says a combination of the Physical and the soul, then look at the evolution purely as the evolving of physical minus the soul. At a certain point (according to scientific evidence around 200,000 years ago was when Eve was on Earth having children) the Children of God having been thrown out of Eden took their genetics to Earth and inter-married with those that God had allowed to evolve differently. Most likely allowing this knowing that it was highly unlikely that man would be able to remain in Eden for all of time.
