I've also got a question for the creationist, why would God dissaprove evolution and why would evolution dissaprove God? It was only a few days ago I was stuck in this line of thought that they somehow object each other, however I was reading the second letter of Peter and the section on false teachers literally took my breath away. I didn't sleep for like two days, I've never read so much in my life, I just read and read, even though I'd pretty much read the Bible before, nothing had ever been this clear. I can't find where a lot of creationists get some of there arguments from. I personally feel they are misrepresenting the Bible.
e.g. the claim that animals couldn't be found in the fossil records before men, because there was no death before sin. Read "Romans 5:12", "Romans 4:13" and "I Corinthians 15:22". It is obvious to me that it is not referring to animals, otherwise it just sounds silly. There's other claims that I felt they've also falsified. I find it hard to believe the 6 days of creation as 6 man days and not 6 God days. I've heard all the creation arguments for why it must be taken literally but to me it makes no sense, it doesn't seem to work, unless you take it as 6 ages the Bible doesn't contradict itself. Put Job 15:1 together with Habakkuk 3:6 and I took it as that the hills/mountains were around long before men. But I think Ecclesiastes 1:10 says it better than you could possibly imagine.
Don't just take my word for it though and look up those few passages. Really study it and see for yourself. One thing to try though, is break down the 6 creation events as long ages and you'd be shocked to find how accurate it is with the supposed big bang and such.
I might be wrong, I still don't fully believe in the ToE, but some things from it seem very likely. No longer will I debate between the two as I kinda feel that they work with each other (more claim to the Bibles accuracy), so I'd rather call it discussing and questioning. It also helped me understand a few problems with evolution, like why the fossil record goes from simple to complex life forms, however today, there are many people that consider humans to be de-evolving, could the fall have something to with this? I'm just throwing ideas around here, but I can now know I can no longer take peoples mis-interpretations of the Bible and others, no-God approach to everything. I now know the Bible is the only real truth so that's what I'm sticking to. :-)
