What Was The Forbidden Tree?

Evolution is a process that appeals to many atheists as an explanation for how we got here because it seems to eliminate God from the process. When Darwin proposed it 150 years ago He initially meant only to explain scientifically the process of how animal species change in time to adapt to differing conditions that allow them to survive. As the theory  became accepted within the scientific community, people of faith realized that there was a conflict between his theory and the accepted biblical version of man's origin. Science and religion has been at odds ever since over this conflict.

 The major problem with evolution is not the process of adaptability and change, but the origin of life itself, and that is where evolution fails. Most people who are not biologists or geneticists view the theory as saying that the changes in animal and biological species within the last billion years or so, are the most important and hardest to explain, ignoring the origin of life itself. They fail to realize the complexity of the single cell as the real problem with evolution.

 Once the cell was formed in the distant past, and reproduction and survivability was assured, it continued to survive by changing and adapting to new conditions. It became a multi-celled organism, then developed the various organs necessary for survival, and finally became the first water and land animals that eventually evolved into the millions of species that we see today on our planet.

There are Old Earth Creationists, Young Earth Creationists, and the scientists, all who have a different version of how the universe was made. Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth". Is there any connection in the first passages of Genesis that could be interpreted as supporting the science view, which is "The Big Bang"?

 According to science, the beginning of all that we see and know, happened about 13.7 years ago in an event called "the big bang", as Sir Fred Hoyle sarcastically called it about 60 years ago. Their description begins with the universe bursting forth from a singularity, a point without any size, in an instant and expanding outward, continuing that expansion today. The universe at that point in time was infinitely dense and infinitely hot. There is an abundance of evidence that the scientific description of that event is accurate, and billions of dollars are being spent in an effort to further describe the process.

This event would have been followed by a tremendous burst of radiation and LIGHT. In the first few milliseconds of the event there was no matter, only plasma and radiation,  expanding outward at an unimaginable rate. As time continued, the radiation cooled and subatomic particles and atoms began to form, but there was no such thing as solid matter, only plasma and gasses due to the extreme temperature. FULL POST

Christians today are overwhelmed by the abundance of terms used to describe what began as a simple movement 2000 years ago. As a result of the attack of science on religious doctrine and beliefs begun 200 years ago, Christians have reacted, not as a group unified, but fragmented into a myriad of different outlooks competing with each other over the method to combat the science community, which they see as atheistic and bent of destroying their faith.
