Fictions, Factions, Frictions And Fractions

A Theorized Reality Soon To Be Proven; Reconciling Creationism vs Evolutionism

I chose these words and their specific definitions to introduce, as a soft landing, a challenging stretch of man's imagination.

Imagination not in the manner that I will be fictionalizing an idea, but imagination in understanding what has been generally explained but typically misunderstood.

I may be sharing a hypothesis.

I may be sharing an unadulterated truth.

Some may call it wishful thinking, others a wild theory.

Whichever it may be, it may have you think and consider larger concepts than what you may have previously considered.

Expanding one's capacity to understand takes some imagination in order to conceptualize a message...then, perhaps, may come an understanding.

In short: the creation narrative of mankind and Adam in Genesis, on its surface, may seem to contradict (or confuse) itself when reading the first and second chapter.

Scientific minds may also make this argument in arguing what scientific minds have proffered in their explanation of how sapiens and modern man - the believed-to-be descendants of sapiens - came to be.

In general, Genesis' narrative message clearly expresses an order with a timeline of events regarding the beginning of the material world up to our humanity.

Time not being explicitly measured (nor intended) like one literal day to the next as we understand a 24-hour day today.

Instead, the time periods varied from one epoch to another, and the epochs were not equally measured one to the next.

For the sake of narration and arriving to the most important focus on humanity, a 'day' is mentioned to describe the growth, expansion and development of life on earth so a human may understand.

Science agrees with this and delves into great detail of 'how' such progress was realized, albeit in theory.

I appreciate science and in no means am I attempting to diminish science or its ideas and facts derived.

I notice that creation and evolution are actually not opposed (and should not be), only their language is confused as being opposed.

The two languages of creation and evolution seem opposed because they speak unique words within their vernacular in describing similar concepts.

Hearing a different language than one is accustomed may be cause to perceive 'difference' where translation is needed for better understanding.

The uniqueness of the creation vs evolution debate is that one preceded the other by thousands of years!

The scientific theoretical sequences of evolution follow the pattern expressed in Genesis almost exactly.

Almost because the theories are still evolving and have yet to be resolved (or agreed upon).

Not that we need theories or science to validate the prescient message in Genesis, but it is an interesting detail when considering the sometimes hostile arguments made against Genesis' narrative.

Although there is evidence of plagiarism, I don't think God is going to sue for plagiarism or claim rights on His expressions.

The latter claims to be closer to fact although it is always a work in progress, and interpretations adjust to perceive concepts previously misunderstood.

The former claims to be fact expressed not in literal terms but in general terms, and interpretations adjust to perceive concepts previously misunderstood.

There is no metaphor in math's scientific language, while theories may be explained to conceptualize what math is unable to.

Genesis was previously believed by some to be literal, yet as man matured and continued to collectively grow spiritually (mass consciousness), the literal was realized to be metaphorical...and so much more.

In due time, the general narrative of Genesis will eventually absorb the details and specifics of science...and the various languages will agree in translation.

I will 'translate' what seems irreconcilable regarding humanity (ancient sapiens from modern man - sapiens squared) in Part Two.
