Do "Old earth" Age Christians Also believe InThe Evolutionary process?

It would be important to remember that, when in Scripture it speaks of death it is almost always referring to humanity. It rarely, if ever?, applies to animals or plant life.

 

Sure it is.

Just keep repeating that lie to yourself long enough and you will eventually believe it.

 

preachinjesus,

I do understand that, my comment about death prior to the fall, was in reference to death of dinosaurs and life prior Adam and Eve. Furthermore, not only science, but I think scripture as well teaches us that nothing of physical creation (including man) was engineered to live a immortal existence. For me, the narrative of the Tree of Life points out this fact. I am convinced that "entropy" was the intention from the beginning.

 

Did He tell us how He did it?

 

It's important to remember that the shedding of blood is a result of, and for the remission of sin.

 

But Adam and Eve's parents died.

So I would like to know exactly how you think Adam came to be. And "God made him" isn't what I'm asking. You've already asserted you do not believe it was a special act of creation directly from the dust on the sixth, 24-hour day from the moment the universe came into being.

So Adam had to have had some parents. What do you think they were like? What kind of society might they have had if any? Did they have a language? Whom did they worship, etc.? What does "science" teach us about the advent of Adam?

Careful, you're treading on the verge of Calvinism. It's asserted that the corruption of Adam was intended from the beginning. For the wages of sin is death.

 

They most certainly are. That's why they insist that Evolution be the basis of our institutions of science, law and education. One just has to open his eyes to see it.

The only shedding of blood which actually remits sins under the Old Covenantal system was that of specific animals at specific times and in specific places. It isn't a universal sense (i.e. Bambi is running through the forest and a stick scratchces his leg and blood drips out.)

Under the New Covenant there was only one time and place, and only one Person, whereby pure blood was to be shed and thus act as a propitiation for sin.

 

If you care to know what makes the most "sense" to me (at this time) you could read "The Science of God" by Dr. Gerald Schroeder.

 

Despite what you "apparently" think of me, I am not a calvinist "hater". What I do find detestable is the manner in which some "matter of factly" contemptuously dismiss others who do not share their reformed theological system. THAT is what brings out the "snarkiness" in me, it is not the disagreement.

 

Still waiting to for your view on the advent of Adam. Who or what were his parents, etc.
