Recognized, but I don’t see the point you were trying to make. A more explicit mention may help.
 
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.
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.
 
I wonder if the Holy Spirit was sleeping all this time and now has made all this clear, disregarding the prior 1800 years of guarantee.
 
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.
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.

To tie that in with evolution, we’ve made a lot of talk about random mutations and all that good stuff. Whenever I mention that, I’ve always understood that to mean it’s random to our perceptions and all practical purposes of trying to understand further. Evolution explains the process. God is where we find the why. And God, though for all intents and purposes random to us, fashioned, in my view, the wonderful life we see through evolution.

To put it another way: Just because we can understand how a miracle worked, and evolution seeks to understand how the miracle of creation worked, doesn’t mean it’s not a miracle.
 
No one can understand how a miracle works. Only God can perform miracles.
 
Adam and Eve. Two literal first parents of everyone alive today. The cause of Original Sin.
 
I would call the creation of a new human a miracle of a sort. But that doesn’t mean we can’t understand the physical aspects.

And with mentioning Adam and Eve, I’ve never denied their existence. I’m used to you disagreeing with my statements so if you’re agreeing with something I’m saying, please let me know. And if you’re disagreeing with me, I don’t see what you’re arguing since it would a case of, “Here’s a counterargument: *insert what something already agreed upon.*”
 
To clarify regarding Creation, actual unexplainable miracles occurred. Letting an ‘it’ run off like a wind-up toy to do whatever it wanted is the only scientific explanation. Any attempts to assign allegory to certain aspects of Creation are refuted by Divine Revelation. Other things are open to interpretation. Having spent years watching the back and forth arguments here, the only options appear to be pure, non-God science, while ignoring Divine Revelation.
 
Having a mind behind a system is not the same as the mind deliberately deciding what the system does.
 
No, the climate became fatal first. Then the dinos died out saved a handful lucky guys who survived until their genes were transferred. Gene transfer must be part of the mechanism behind evolution. Bird still have some dino genes. How long time did it take? Who knows? Maybe it was sped up by necessity.

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 ?
 
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. 😀

God didn’t have to use evolution. He created fish out of thin air when he fed the multitude .

Just the opposite is true. God did not need to create fish out of thin air when He had the evolution at this disposal! 😋

So why would God wait billions and billions and billions of years when he can have them ready in a few seconds ? :crazy_face:
