All of the theories that we went through in class were interesting. I don't think that there is any that I completely agree with. Some of them had more points than other that I agreed with, but anyway I am going to tell you about all of them.
The Gap Theory doesn't really make sense to me. The Bible says that the world was created in 6 days, and on the seventh day God rested. The Gap Theory says that there is a gap between Genesis 1 and 2. I think that that would kind of be important to put in the Bible, and it's not in there. Also there is no way that people could figure out that there was a gap, so I just don't think that that happend.
The Young Earth Creationism people talk more about what they don't believe than what they do believe. That makes me think that they aren't exactly sure about what they believe, but thats just me.
Ideal-Time Theory is the next one that we talked about. I think that it is an interesting idea. They say that God created a built-in history. I don't think that that is what happened. I think that history just started taking place after God created the earth.
One theory that we talked about sayed that one "day" in the Bible could have been a thousand or a millionn years. I don't know how long the days were. the Bible doesn't say how long a day is. A million years seems like a long time to be making the world!I think that it is very possible that the days weren't 24 hours. In the end though, it really doesn't matter to me how long it took God to create the world.
Pictoral-Day Theory says that Genesis 1 is more literal than science. It's more a theological statement than a recipe for creation. This theory sounds more complicated than the rest, and I don't exactly understand it all, so for that reason I don't exactly agree with it.
The last Theory that we talked about was the Theistic Evolution. It says that God used the evolutionary process to create life. Genesis says that God created man, not used the evolutionary process. So I think that God just created everything, not let evolution processes create it.
In the end I think that God created the world in 6 days. No matter how long the days were. Then God rested on the seventh. I think that God thought everything out. He obviously knew what he was doing. He spoke and the world was formed. I think that that is very cool. I believe that the creation story is very true, and one of the greatest stories ever!
i love that you put what you thought of it, and what you feel about each theory. i agree with you on these statements. I like how you pretty much made it into a summary after each theory. and i love the ending. :) k sweet.
ReplyDeleteI have to say i agree with you but yet i don't. I think that maybe when he made the earth it could have been a few thousand years or whatever. Although i don't think it was billoins and millions just a few thousand. Acctually writing this now it doesnt make sense to me. Honestly i think that the world is created and we should be happy trhe end.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I think that it is great that you were able to voice your opinion! Your reight, the GAP theory does not make any sense!Evolution is not very possible. This world is so complex tht it could not just come out of a blob. The bible account of creation is literal though. Well great job. God bless!
