Recognized, but I don’t see the point you were trying to make. A more explicit mention may help.
Then the Church would be in error to allow such an allegorical interpretation. But as The Church is protected by the Holy Spirit, the allowing of an allegorical interpretation is okay. Remember that I’ve defended the Truths we need to hold such as God’s making the world in addition to Adam and Eve’s literal existence.It doesn’t reconcile them. It disregards the historical truth Genesis contains, a truth that actually corrects the errors found in the modern secular understanding of how we were created and who we are in relation to one another, the universe and it’s Maker. What you mean by allegorical may also do away with the reality that is the Word of God, whose revelation is scripture, the purpose of which is to allow us to know Him and to establish a dialogue between God and each of us both individually and together as His church.
I’ll make clear that I haven’t read much about the earthquake theory. (I’ll even explicitly recognize it could be wrong.) But I brought it up to demonstrate a point. The point I wished to demonstrate is that God can work His ways via methods, that under study, would seem random and coincidental to our observations. So if He used an earthquake, it was still Him who worked even though a scientific observation would leave it at the earthquake.God caused what a geologist might call an earthquake, the temporary rising of the land thereby providing a bridge from one side of the sea to the other. I don’t see a coincidence, but I can understand why others might.
You might want to let The Church know. Since, again, evolution and allegory as permitted.Any attempts to assign allegory to certain aspects of Creation are refuted by Divine Revelation.
So the climate must of had to wait millions of years for them to first evolve and shrink and then it became fatal.The climate became fatal for large animals. They had to shrink.
So the lucky guys, got a lucky mutation that cause them skip over all those millions of years of evolution that everyone says is so necessary ?Then the dinos died out saved a handful lucky guys who survived until their genes were transferred.
God didn’t have to use evolution. He created fish out of thin air when he fed the multitude .Look at the fossil records. They have signs of abrupt changes. This could indicate times when the evolution sped up. It could have been the finger of God pushing forward the arms of the clock of evolution.
So why would God wait billions and billions and billions of years when he can have them ready in a few seconds ? :crazy_face:Just the opposite is true. God did not need to create fish out of thin air when He had the evolution at this disposal!
