Creationism/Evolution
It always gets me this argument. I was in the Navy in 1989 and in A School, there was a son of a minister whom I became friends with. He was able to show how BOTH were very attainable at the same time.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say one of God's days equal one of our days. If God is an omnipotent power then one day could equal thousands, millions, even billions of years. We know it took Millions of years to form our Solar System let alone for any life to develop on Earth. Even Biblical scholars don't argue that the Solar system took time to develop. This points to one being able to say a day in God's life could be millions of our years.
Same goes after life appeared on Earth. It took millions of years (as we know time) before man appeared on the planet. If you take the Bible literally, man would have been alive to see ALL life forms on Earth, but by fossils we know this not to be true. That in fact life was here long before man. This is more evidence that one of God's days is millions of years.
With those criteria, it can be said that God when he made man didn't just make man, but as with Earth, man may have needed time to develop. Hence, evolution. And evolution itself could have taken one of God's days, but in our time it took thousands of years.
So in using this theory, this hypothesis, one could truly show how evotionism and creationism could be one in the same.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
