Therefore the earth and all creation was created not made.
So if you refuse to believe what Genesis says literally about God and creation, how do you figuritively explain God and the resurrection story in the NT?
Paul referred to Adam and Eve as real people. Jesus, who is God believed in Adam and Eve and the creation event in Genesis. He talked about the creation, not the point of millions of years later of brutal dying and killing and evolving. See Matthew 19:4.
So after thousands upon thousands of years evolving, survival of the fittest, and dying, there is finally Adam. So now in the timeline of man, there is Adam, able to speak and communicate and walk upright. What happens now, well as Paul said in Romans 5:12- Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—"
I hesitate to get into this, but (and with all due respect) do you understand the Theory of Evolution? The pre-human ancestors did not have to “kill, kill, and kill some more”, that is most definitally not what ‘survival of the fittest’ means. It simply means that those creatures who have the best body type for living in that area are more able to escape predators, or maybe they’re resistant to diseases, and thus they survive to breed and pass on their genes (and thus their body types) to the next generation, who also pass on those genes, etc. etc. etc. until the entire species is that way.
Probably not. It is more likely that those who survived were the ones able to scramble to the nearest tree and climb it quickest when a hungry pride of lions appeared. Things like disease resistance would also have been important.
All mammals have “male and female evolved perfectly”, why should Homo sapiens be any different? Reptiles, birds, fish, many non-vertebrates and some plants have male and female. The two sexes go back a long long time before humans. If you are going to talk about evolution then you will make fewer mistakes if you learn some biology first.
You may have heard of a chap called Charles Darwin, who wrote a book called “On the Origin of Species”. Try reading Chapter Six, in particular the subsection “Organs of extreme perfection”.
What about it? We have exactly the same parts in our brain as the other apes. Our brain overall is larger in proportion to our body and the relative porportions of the different parts are slightly different, but there are no major differences in the biology of our brains and the brains of the other apes.
And now back to what the OP actually asked…
Thank you Ilroy. I’ll definitely have to check out what that link says. I appreciate your help.
Well said!
:twocents: Could an ape evolve into a created human being with a soul?
No biologist would ever claim so. Souls do not fossilise and souls cannot be found in our DNA so there is no evidence of the evolution of a soul. A better question might be: “Could an ape evolve into a physical form into which God would wish to place a created soul?”
