I have always thought that natural selection and creationism are the same thing. Things evolved to a point, and once they reached a point satisfactory to God, He instilled the Light of Christ.
Thus the commandment to "multiply and REPLENISH the Earth." You can't replenish what you didn't already have. |

My daughter is six and insatiably curious. She asks me about DNA and how it controls what we look like, natural selection, etc., all the time. I always answer with the scientific explanation, to the best of my meager knowledge.
We don't attend church often. Nor do we do the bible stories or BOM stuff. But she has a super Catholic friend in her kindergarten class who is always telling her stuff about bible stories. So she asks me about them. My bible stories are a bit rusty, so I give her the low down on Adam and Eve. And she looks at me and gives me the "yeah, right" look. Oops. I made a parental boo-boo. I might be raising a cynic. I guess we better do some of the religious stuff after all. The poor child needs to be prepared for the grillings she gets from her grandparents at the very least. |

accomplish, 7; consecrate, 15; expired, 3; fill, 107; fulfil, 28; full, 48; fully, 2; gather, 2; misc, 14; overflow, 2; replenish, 7; satisfy, 2; set, 6; wholly, 6. The most common translation, as is here seen, is "fill," which frankly makes the most sense in this context. At any rate, no definitive doctrine can truly be derived from the distinction between "fill" and "replenish," as the difference came about only in the translation from Hebrew to English. This, of course, does not debunk any sort of evolution theory, which is entirely possible. It does show that this argument can't support that theory.

One thing I like about an understanding of the Bible and the Christian tradition is the way it opens up a whole different level of understanding of so much Western civilization lit. I want my son to be able to enjoy reading Moby Dick, or The Red Badge of Courage and understand the nuance the author has put there.
