I think kat and renes reslonces are huge on this and johns as well. I THINK God has provided us sufficient information to understand this matter as it relates to Genesis and the creation of humanity but wothout the spirit it will trmain a source of contention and tripping stone for those not chosen. To those called and chosen who still struggle with it, God will make it clear when He wants to. I want to make it clear though, I believe to understand this matter in a place where I am at peace and see no issue with it. Tgat being said, I don't by any means claim to hold the final say on it.

I'll toss this into the pot for Ian. It's as important and relevant to the OP as it is, and not a bit more than that.
1Co 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

John, well I think science is right as far as the actual facts bare out, but that leaves an incredible amount of holes to be filled in with their theories. So science can help in showing the evidence of what is actually found, but their assumptions in filling in those holes are way off base to me. I think we are too quick to follow scientist that take God out of being actively involved in this creation.
Gen 1:21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
There seems to be the idea that God kind of put things in motion and then just stood back and watched it take shape... I happen to think that God's own hand must have played an active role in bringing the original species into existence just like in the example we have of Adam and Eve.
Yes the earth brought forth the plants and the sea brought forth the sea creature, but I Don't think it did it on it's own. And this is where scientist are quite off in their explaining how life started... well I think it's very probable that God actually 'seeded' the ground and waters so it could bring forth the life from it. I mean we have planets all over the universe and we don't know of any others (and I don't believe there is) that are just bringing forth life on any of them. No this is a special work here and I think God is very involved with it all along the way. But of course this is mostly conjecture on my part.

Hi Kat,
You may have misunderstood me if you think I believe that scientists are correct in all things.
They don't have a clue as to the power Of God.
I believe God is behind everything. That as Jesus said, little birds do not die without the Father's permission. It is as Paul said when he spoke to the Athenian Assembly on Mar's Hill----"In Him (God) we live and move and have our being."
We are immersed in the invisible God. Nothing happens without Him. The heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him. He is so great that He has to humble Himself to interact with our physical beings. Psalm 113.
John

I like the way you put it. Thanks for sharing your understanding.
