I mean personally in the creationism vs evolution thing I take a middle road as well.

You know in the bible they say God made the world in seven days but I think the term “days” can be taken with a grain of salt just like almost every other time-related incident in the bible (Jesus: “I will return “soon”” where soon is a relative term). Therefore I can kinda believe both ways.

i.e. Big Bang = In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Transformation of the earth from molten madness to a solid with land and water = And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

beginning of evolution, which typically is taught as everything coming from bacteria etc in the water = And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life

then continued evolution bringing land creatures = And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

finally evolution leads to humans roaming the earth = And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

 

so see, I can have my cake and eat it too.
