Do you BElieVE coexistence of BIBLE and EVOLUTION is possible?

Even I am searching the answers for this question for a last few years. It is tough to believe what you read and see and at the same time, your feelings are also confusing. However, after reading things on the Internet and thinking logically about the religions (not an easy thing), I have come to a few conclusions and it has changed my life a lot. When you believe in God, things are easier for you, like others. However, when you start thinking about it, you will feel the truth is something else. Every human being has a tendency to feel that S/he is very special and because of this tendency, we believe in God and other fairy tells. The truth is, our earth was visited by highly advanced civilizations before (If someone understands probability S/he will agree with me), they came here searching for natural resources and to make things easier, they wanted some technically advanced robots, therefore, they made some changes in the genes and engineered human being out of monkeys. Once human being was created, evolution took place and those advanced people left the planet after utilizing the resources, later on, people Interpreted evolution in their own way and wrote several books (now knows as religious books). Because we want to be special, the books are written in such a way, human being feels very special after reading these books and at the same time, they have blocked our mind by adding some traditional belief so that we do not start thinking logically about the truth. I have found a few URLs, just want to share here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcrzD0PfyPs www.xfacts.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GooNhOIMY0 so many such links are there, I do not know how to logically understand that "God" exists (If he exists, why 9/11, Iraq, Afganistan and World wars happened?). However, I still follow the tradition and I work hard to believe that God exists and things that they have written in the books are true... Whatever I have written here is my personal point of view and I know that I am nobody to decide what is right or wrong. I am only trying to share my opinion.

Yesterday Crazy became more sane. So he started very interesting discussions. :) Now, if that is possible, then why not coexistence of Bible and evolution? :) Crazy - what is written in Bible or any holy book - is not complete thing. It is only part of it. That too written in cryptic way. So question it, try to correlate it to science in so far as you can. But dont disbelieve it. I think somewhere some truth is there, just that we dont understand. Since I dont know everything nor do I have that much brains, I guess I will keep both things as right and true, but with my questioning rights intact. I, however, pity those who follow only one route. They close their eyes shut to other possibilities. That is what I say as getting side tracked. In a film, there is a car chase. You enjoy it, but that is not the only thing about the film. Isn't it? We have a lot to learn about god. Keep your mind open, and accept both. :)

For me i don't believe in evolution i so it is true he same at you are criticize Jehovah God because all thing's would be because he is the one created.

Personally crazy, oh and I do not mean this in a romantic way...LOL, I have read and researched both points of views. Personally it just gets more and more confusing. My personal beliefs and opinions are not based on science and or the Bible. I believe in God and whether the next Joe Schmo wants to try and convince me otherwise is not important to me. I am loyal too my beliefs and followings. So sorry I cannot contribute to your discussion either on a religious and or scientifically sense. I have to say that no religion and or science will assist me more than my direct speakings with God, my God.

This proposition is a bit hard to answer because primarily science presents material evidence whenever it justifies the existence of some objects or creatures. It tries to answer some issues or objects that have never been settled or discovered before by mankind. In the Bible, prior to the birth of mankind these issues are already well settled and need not be proven as long as you have a strong belief in god. Therefore science and religion cannot coexist but it can possibly complement one another.

nope, i do not believe coexistence of bible and evolution is possible.They contradict each other,you know? Some birds have four feet (Leviticus 11:20-21).

I don't see why religion and science should not complement each other. Religion doesn't nullify or deny scientific laws. God Himself created science and everything in existence. The problem has been, on the one hand, man's research coming up short in its learning of science, and on the other, a misinterpretation/misunderstanding of the Bible. There was a time when people believed the earth was flat, and the center of the universe. The Bible has never taught these. Also, isn't evolution still a theory?

Hi Crazy_Poster, I agree with you but that is because I don't take the Bible literally and I have a real problem with people who say that they do. Science and real religion are not opposed to each other, we all want the truth. Those who oppose science are afraid of it, afraid that they will learn that their little God does not exist. We all know that we cannot prove the existence of God, yet even Stephen Hawking says that there may be a God, even though everything can be explained without having to believe in a deity. I believe that God exists in some form but that mystery cannot be defined with certainty here in materiality. Blessings.

Well, I am a Christian person and I am also a scientist. That said, I have long believed that it is not only possible that there is a co-existence between the Bible's teaching and evolution, but that it is the case of what has happened. That said, I know that there are a lot of people that will disagree with me, but I know that life had to have come from somewhere and also that there are signs of evolution in our everyday life.

Well, the bible is just a book, so yes, I think that the coexistence of books and evolution is possible

Bible is the sources of reference and knowledge. maybe we will not find the accurate answer in Bible. But there is so many question there that need us to think and keep searching, finding and do research until today. Thats why we now have Science with evidence. Bible is a good reference.
