Okay, a thought occurred to me while I was in the shower just now. Why, other than the assumption that the Bible is word for word fact, and human ego, does Creationism have to mean that evolutionary theory is false?

To make it clear why I'm dismissing the "Bible is word for word fact" issue, I will simply state that I have encountered enough ( Read more... )

I think the problem comes when you add Christianity. I believe that if we were talking about the single god blind watchmaker theory, then yet a God and Evolution is perfectly possible. God set up the universe and is watching how it runs ( ... )

That explanation depends upon the human ego aspect. I was asking if there was any reason other than human ego that could explain why God had to create us fully formed in his image in the start.

But basically you're saying the problem with my hypothesis is Christianity is another face of the human ego, so you can not remove the human ego factor without killing the faith?

I'm saying that Christianity as a faith is base on some basic premise.
1. Christ Lived
2. Christ was the son of God
3. Christ died for our sins

Now what I'm saying is that you can't really have Natural Evolution created by God to create humanity in his image, Sin and a caring God all at the same time. If god is omniscient and able to set up the big bang to create humanity in his image, he must be able to see every ripple of Chaos possible, therefore he must know our every action before it happens, leading to a lack of free will, if you have no free will you can't have Christian article of faith 3 as Sin can't exist because how can you sin if your every thought was set up at the big bang.

The other option is God set the universe in action from a good setup and then watched it involved, therefore he took no active part in the active creation of humanity. Therefore not a christian god.
