This has never been a conflict for me. As I do not claim to know more
than God, I do not deny him any tools He wishes to use. If God wishes to use
evolution, who am I to say He can't?
The common counter-argument to this postion is that the Bible doesn't
support the time line of evolution. But, the Bible was not written by God, it
was written by men. If at a time prior to the evolution of mankind God wished
a day to be of a longer duration, who am I do deny Him that permission?
It is my position that God used evolution to create the lifeforms that
populate this small portion of His universe. The evidence is compelling.
Unlike the Bible, the fossil record was written by God. I don't believe that
God would have made such a mistake as to create a flawed fossil record.
Take care, Tom
