Absolutely. It is worth remembering that a number of people had already stumbled on parts of the theory already, and Wallace had independently put it together in almost the same format as Darwin did, and at about the same time. Most of the necessary observations and principles were already in place.
It was an inevitable scientific change of worldview.
The Darwin/Wallace theory of evolution was an idea whose time had come.
Dear gcthomas and alwight,
Hi Buddies! I hope we can remain wonderful friends even if we don't agree with everything. I would hate to lose you because of that, because I haven't gotten to know you gct better yet, much less your potential.
I am holding off telling you all that Darwin's/Wallace's theory of evolution was not an idea whose time had come. All of what follows was revealed to me before I became a member of this site. Certain people made me decide to keep it to myself, but that is not what I should do after all.
I have to say that I do believe that 'God' 'created' man before the 'Lord God' 'formed' our own Adam and Eve. I believe that God created man (and woman) a long time ago, for many generations. It is because it is written, "And He called THEIR name Adam in the 'day' THEY were created." This does not come to me as meaning Adam and Eve as THEIR (And He called THEIR name Adam). Get what I'm saying here: THEY, THEIR. This comes across to me as 'One Creation' and one of more forming of Adam. See Gen. 5:2. From what I understand, God created man and woman many years ago, amongst the six days of Creation. But I also do believe that the "Lord God" 'formed'/not 'created' man from the dust of the ground and that He saw that the man was lonely, and so He 'formed' the birds (instead of the waters) and creatures from the ground (as it is written) and brought them to the man to see what he would call them.
Why would it say in the first chapter of Genesis that God created all of the creatures and beasts and creepy crawling things before He created man? And then in the second chapter, all of a sudden it is "Lord" God (Jesus+God), instead of just God. And it is written that in the first chapter of Genesis, it says God created the fowl from the "waters," yet in the second chapter of Genesis, it says the fowl and creatures were formed from the "ground." (See Gen. 1:21 and 2:19). You all do not know what is going on, but I do. I just have to get it through your thick heads. I'm not trying to be mean here. We are at the level of consciousness and mental capability to handle these things. Now let's see if we can. These things have been kept from us for a long time because we were not ready to receive them yet. 6days, that doesn't mean that Our Adam was not the First, for he was the First of our Generation of men and women, and that matters plenty. Totally different generations. This settles for why we find fossils and bones older than we understand. I have been trying to keep this to myself, but you all keep egging me on to say something, so I have. If I am wrong, God will Tell YOU!! I am very capable of accepting rejection from God if necessary. We LOVE EACH OTHER TONS!! I can't imagine LIFE without HIM!! Or HIS SON OR HOLY GHOST!!!
Okay, you finally got some things out of me. I'd rather wait until I was positive, but this will have to do. It's what I learned before I came to this site. 6 days kept me quiet about it. Don't balk at him. I am the one who to balk at. He is just a young 'un. This would clearly answer all of your questions, but I must pray to be certain that I should share this with you all. But this would explain to you why there might be other women whom Cain could have chosen a wife from, etc. This would mean that the Garden of Eden was planted in an obscure part of the land. That means others from a previous generation were still living. Sounds too hard for me to believe and yet it does not.
The Lord just told me to tell you these things are true. I could not even bring myself to believe them and wanted to erase it all, but He says this is the way it happened. Also, there were giants in those days, and there were dinosaurs before our Adam and Eve were ever 'formed.' You don't know the whole story and neither do I, but there is more to it that just what we both think. We are human and we are fallible. Be careful what you have to say about all of this. Do not 'lie' in God's Name. I've tried very hard not to do this. Thus you can understand my apprehension, can't you. I am very wary about what I say to you. Okay, will get going for now. Check out the Original Post (OP) of this Thread (Creation vs. Evolution). Is that explaining it all well enough??!! Go for it! I have to submit this even though it is not fully proofread, but it is past 3am and I must go to bed. Good night all children of God!!
Much Love And Spirit Intertwine With Yours,
Michael
