Is Evolution a Theory or a Fact..?

Several centuries ago, the final authority about whether the earth or the sun was the center of a solar system was God too.
So people accepted what they thought God "said" and adopted geocentrism for years.
How well did that go..?

 

Thats what they said about geocentrism several centuries ago..
How well did that work out..?

 

From my research into the man, it certainly appears that he accepts both that Jesus is God, and that the resurrection happened.
As for his beliefs about "the inerrancy of Scripture"..? That i don't know..

 

I'm not aware of Jesus ever making any scientific statements as to how Adam and Eve may have formed.
So i cannot say that i know what Jesus' scientific position on the matter was..
All i CAN say is that the evidence shows that if Adam and Eve were real people.?
then they evolved from a common ancestor along with the other earths primates.

 

I accept that the writers of Genesis used stories as teaching tools. As such, many of the things they reference are not literal.
Take Noah's ark. That tale is about how the righteous will triumph while the wicked will perish.
Its not about global floods and putting 2 of every animal on a giant boat.
People like Ken Ham at AiG try so hard to make the tales literal, that they miss the entire moral message of the stories.

 

But did he lay out in any scientific detail as to "how"..?

 

The Bible was never written to be a science book.
For example, There are simple passages about "God creating the sun", but no mention of all the scientific processes needed to actually do so... God would need a knowledge of gravitation, nuclear fusion, the existence of elements on the periodic table that lay out the atomic structure of hydrogen necessary to create a sun, etc.. None of which is mentioned in the Bible.
You wont find any of that in Genesis.. You WILL however find all that in science books.
If you are using the Bible as a science book, then you're not using it for its assembled purpose.

 

This above is what gets fundamentalist Christians in trouble. This idea of "inerrant".
The problem here arises in the fact that Bible texts (like all texts) need to be interpreted by those who are reading the passages.
Now, Centuries ago, the "inerrant" word of God was that "the earth is fixed, it does NOT move"
So, for years, people adhered to a geocentric model of the solar system.
Then, once the evidence showed that such a position was untenable, the "inerrant" word of God was changed.
Those "interpreting" the passages changed their original "inerrant" position.
There are millions of Christians out there who do NOT interpret Genesis to be literal history.
So someones interpretation of all those passages is certainly "errant"..
