I have, and every time I hear it it makes less and less sense.
I understand.... And disagree.
Ordinarily we disagree on matters of opinion. This is not one of them, it's a matter of fact (you know, the kind that can be proven? ).
It is infact, because many people even in your faith have no problems with evolution. You do have problems with abiogenesis perhaps?
Neha, how is 'evolution' a creation stance? That's the question. 'Theistic Evolution' is a creation stance, because of the 'theistic' part. You need to explain how evolution by itself, is your creation stance. If you don't believe in God, you can't believe in anything except naturalism.
John 5:24 24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Exactly. For the most part I have no problem with evolution. But it most certainly does NOT qualify as a creation stance.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

You are right, its not a creation stance. Just me sharing my view I guess.
Haha thought it was something new I hadn't heard of.
I like evolution, there is much beauty in the simplicity of it.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.
