Both sides of the creation vs evolution debate see only what they want to see. What is obvious to those of us in the middle is that they are both right and both incomplete without the other.
Could God have created mankind without evolution? Yes, he could have if he had wanted to because all things are possible with God. Did He create mankind without evolution? Absolutely not according to scientific evidence.
Is it possible to believe in a God based evolution and the truthfulness of the Bible at the same time? Absolutely! That is what this "Reconciling the Bible and Science" website is all about. You will not be asked to doubt one word of God's written Word at this website or in any of my books, because I believe in the truthfulness of the Bible; but you will be asked to reexamine some of your long-held beliefs.
