Answers to Questions - Creation vs. Evolution

Couldn’t God have simply started the Evolutionary process?

Certainly he COULD have? A God creating the Universe could use virtually any means. BUT, Evolution triggered by God is NOT consistent with his nature - since God would not have "lied" to Moses by telling us that he created all creatures [Genesis 1]. Perhaps you feel Moses wasn’t inspired by God, and just "got lucky." How "lucky" would that be? If Moses somehow knew the steps of creation listed in the Bible, just guessing the correct order would be as difficult as winning a state lottery... incredibly lucky. Perhaps you feel there is some latitude in the wording of Genesis. If you study the ORIGINAL Hebrew text, you will find the word "bara" used in creation of the heavens, creatures and man. Bara literally means to "create out of nothingness." There is NO ambiguity. Essentially you need to make a choice to believe God or misinformed scientists. Maybe people could rationalize their thoughts 50 years ago because we didn’t have the tools or knowledge to dispute "scientific" mistakes then. Now we do. But once you really investigate and gain absolute certainty that the Bible inspired with precision by God, you will learn to trust the Bible FAR more than humans.
