They were following the animals which were following the grazing.
Man has done this since the beginning. Along with other species. To argue that Early Man only travelled to Egypt or wherever is absurd.
So are you saying god created cells that mutated, from what?
Once you come away from the bible, it's basis is flawed. Your argument proves that some worked and others didn't. This is establish science and proof there was no Intelligence behind it. The best you can claim is trial and error.
Which is how nature created single cell beings, then double cell, then cells that instead of splitting to reproduce, mated in a primitive way. Yes some mutated, some survived and some died. What's clear is there was no "Intelligent supreme being". And certainly nothing to do with what's in Genesis.
"Science is getting closer and closer to the very core of existence. The closer they get the more they will see that there may of been a creator. But it's got nothing to do with the bible."
Genesis is either spot on, as the word of god. Or stories by Bronze age men. It can't even be a little wrong.
Paul,
Some Christian brethren will disagree with you (like me, for instance); Genesis doesn't have to be "spot on" to be the Word of God. In fact, I think that to hold up the revelatory narrative structure of the Bible against that which science offers creates a False Dichotomy. The bible can be a "story" written by Bronze age men and still carry a Divine Imprimatur of sorts. It's just that Modernist notions of story construction have seeped into our theology, making some of us Christians insist that the bible must be seen as a book carrying a scientifically accurate message. This kind of theoretical 'seepage' has caused a lot of confusion and brought about a lot of disbelief, especially of late.
On my part, I'll continue to hold to the reliability of the Bible as God's Word AND proffer Theological Evolution as a working hypothesis.
Peace
