Hey I am new here to ATS but had a question that many people have apparently figured out, but I am still clueless to:
How can evolution and Christianity co-exist?

Can someone please explain how they can be mixed? (if its even possible)
Thanks.

not all of it would be 24 hour days because he created time on the "third day" (sun, moon, seasons, days) so the "days" before that were timeless. You have to look at it this way which is easier for a hebrew shepard to understand seven days or 14 billion years.

this is when "time" started in our sence of the word.

I do have a monkey wrench though; if man and dinosaure walked the earth together, which would be the cass in earth was created in seven days, why then is there not acounts of them, granted there is the dragon but besides that where are they.

on a side note how is the earth a void and water at the same time

There's no way you're serious. If you take two populations of squirrels, separate them with a river and let them breed for 1 million years, do you seriously think they will be able to inter-breed once you put them back together?
If you think they will be capable of inter-breeding you have never taken a genetics class or even slightly studied evolution.
You know, along with anyone else who reads this, that I was not looking for a specific number. To assume such is stupid.

how many micro evolutions does it take to make a macro.
Yet again I can use squirrels as an example. You separate the squirrels and let them go through trillions of "micro evolutions",
there is absolutely no chance after millions of years that you have the same animal. Common sense and an intro statistics class tells you that without much trouble.

You’re inadvertently claiming that a human and an orangutan can produce offspring. This is universally accepted as false; unless there is a recent tabloid I’ve missed.

Can you explain how I was claiming that?
Originally posted by alkali in the other post
There's no difference between micro and macro evolution.
As I said, a grasp of how DNA functions and replicates and screws up will show that I was not claiming that at all. Eventually, along the evolutionary line, a species that separates into two groups will not be able to produce viable offspring anymore due to genetic differences. This is common sense as well.

GENESIS 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
