    the creation story is very literal and the side wch says the creation story is metaphorical. In the past, many arguments have arose over these different topics and there have been many variations of evolution theories, many of those trying to mix God’s creation with scientific theory. As Christians, it is hard to know for sure how the Earth was truly mad because of God’s power to do anything, but all that can be done is to make an educated, Bible based guess.

    Evolution: “when science trumps faith”. (pp159) Chapter 7 discusses evolution in the most literal sense possible: the creation of earth and life without any assistance from God. As one might imagine, it is centered on the teachings of Dawkins, whose stance on evolution is clear and unforgiving. Dawkins starts out with the argument that “evolution fully accounts for biological complexity and the origins of humankind, so there is no more need for God.” (pp163) I enjoyed Collins’ quick and cunning…
