This all boils down to a question on semantics. It is quite possible , as you state, for a Christain to believe in both evolution and creation in the context of a creater God manufacturing the Big Bang and stepping back and allowing evolution to do it's work. I think it is safe to say that, most scientists hold to the Bing Bang
Theory. This therefore raises a question of,
can we attach a consciousness to this act. My goodness, there are reputable scientists speculating about theories titled "Quantum Consciousness". If these same scientists can ponder the question of quantum consciousness, why can't they also ponder Big Bang consciousness. It has, afterall, been suggested by a few that the Big Bang was the result of a Quantum Fluctuation. Taking all this in to account, we should remember that human beings are constructed of a collection of particles we call atoms. And we claim the sole distinction for the possession of consciousness? I would ask this simple question: What makes us so special that we possess something that nothing else in nature can obtain? I view this as a very self-centered point of view, and the mindset that a higher consciousness than ours, being out of the question, demonstrates the highest of conceit.
