One may be a Seventh-day Adventist AND accept a different, yet still valid, viewpoint on the creation story in Genesis. Personally, I believe that the point of the story is not HOW creation occurred, but WHY, and by WHOM. The story is told to remind us that we have a Creator, and to illustrate our need for a Redeemer. Whether God used evolution as a means to create over millions of years or spoke the world into being a few thousand years ago doesn’t really matter – what matters is that we have a Creator, and by His grace we have been redeemed.
