Default Creation and Evolution Are One

How could creation be without evolution? How could evolution be without creation?

Would it be insane to think of them as parts of a whole? It was once insane to think the world was round and not flat when the truth of the matter was that it was round and flat!

Well one big problem is that Creationists believe that the big guy greated the earth on or about 5000 years ago. Evolutionists believe it took at least two or three years (eons) more than that just for us humans to get to the point where we can debate the subject.

Quite easily, if God created the world as it is, or if God created the world recently to look ancient.

Quite easily. But maybe not easy to grasp if you like to think in everyday terms.

No, just meaningless.

This is wrong on a couple of counts. Also, how can something be both round and flat in the common senses of the word?

I'm not talking about God.

Please explain, as this hardly is an answer.

No more so meaningless then any other debate.

So how is it wrong? What are the "couple counts"?

Asking how something can be round and flat at the same time is like thinking about how Australians are walking upside down relative to us right now. Who's upside down and who is rightsize up? Both are.

You're not talking about God when you mention creation in a thread about evolution? Then what are you talking about?

You'll have to explain what you mean you by creation, since you're using the word in non typical way.

The ancients and people in the middle ages suspected that the Earth was round by looking at things like shadows, and doing calculations of the horizon at various heights...apparently it's a myth that people always thought the Earth was flat.

I'll venture a guess and say that 1&0s is contemplating that the belief in creation is the forefather of the belief in evolution.

Ie. if humans never wondered how we got here in the first place, then we wouldn't have evolutionary theory and we wouldn't have alot of good knowledge.

New models of knowledge follows old models of knowledge. 100 years from now we will probably have thrown alot of our current models out.

Then again, I might be misinterpreting it.

Science. This thread isn't about evolution. It is about the possibility that creation and evolution are one in the same.

What I mean by "creation" is everything that we can feel smell touch see and taste. What most would call "matter". This 3rd dimension.

The ones who swore the earth was flat must never have looked up at the sun or moon. Perhaps doing so may have shed some light on the issue.
