Are there any shared views you can think of that Creationists and Evolutionists might agree upon? Are there any potential areas for synthesis between the two camps you might want to suggest as being feasible. Are there any facts and truths common to Creationism and Evolution you are aware of? Or do you really believe any attempts to reconcile these varying views would be hopeless, without merit and contrary to His wishes?

AlexH,

In my opinion trying to find common ground between creationism and evolutionism is like mixing oil and water and hoping it will blend together. They just don’t mix! If you accept evolution you will simply have problems with accepting what the Bible has to say. Conversely if you hold to the biblical account of creation you will simply see that evolution requires you to deny what the Bible teaches.

Some people have suggested “theistic evolution” is a possible answer to appease both sides. However, even this view requires you to deny the first few books of the Bible and Jesus’ references to Genesis. I’m sorry, but creation and redemption are not compatible with evolution. No matter how you cut it, you can’t find common ground!

God has revealed himself through creation and the Bible. By trying to find common ground between creation and evolution one will either alter the biblical account or ignor it.
