(Theistic Evolution)

Here is a term that can be classified as an oxymoron. What it basically means is that God used evolution is His Creation and when the various life-forms were evolving, God sort of helped the process along; somehow...... As you can imagine, this is not taught in the Bible; so you say, where did it come from? It came from people who believe that a supreme being does exist and because of the complexity of the Creation, they just don't want to throw everything into the hoary mists of antiquity; they believe in a god; just not the God of the Bible. These were Charles Darwin's very words. Theistic evolution is also proponed by many Christians who feel they have to stuff millions of years in between each day in the Genesis account of creation.

Another belief system is the Gap Theory. This is another opinion that is held by many fundamentalists who believe that billions of years went by between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. The main purpose of this theory is to harmonize the Biblical account of Creation with the accepted geological ages, such as the paleozoic or the mesizoic eras.

These theories are not only impossible but are, again, not reasonable. We will look at these and other issues in later studies. We will see what the Bible says about creation.
