Theistic Evolution Challenged

[gluadys]

You are entitled to your speculative opinion, just as I am entitled to my previously stated evidential opinion that the human race has one common ancestral stream originating with Mitochondrial Eve & Y-chromosomal Adam.

Indeed, if you are speaking about the human race today, you are quite right.

But of course, that would not apply to the human race during the lifetime of Mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosome Adam, since they and their contemporaries would share different maternal and paternal common ancestors, who lived as far before them as they do before us.

That is the only point I am making.

 

[kenblogton]

You are missing, or avoiding, the point.
The scientific evidence says the ancestors of all people are Mitochondrial Eve & Y-Chromosomal Adam. We can speculate endlessly about other possibilities. Science, however, forms its conclusions based on evidence. What actual evidence do you have for your speculations?

Dear Readers, Genesis 2:4-7 clearly states that man was formed of the dust of the ground on the 3rd Day. Some theistic evolutionists teach that we evolved from creatures which lived before man.

Genesis 1:21 shows that "every living creature that moves" was created and brought forth from the water on the 5th Day which was billions of years AFTER the 3rd Day, in man's time.

My question is HOW can TEs continue to teach that we evolved from creatures which existed before us, when Scripture clearly shows that this is impossible?

In Love,

You ignore that there are more than one interpretation of what the Genesis
creation account means.

Those who hold that the creation account is written in the ancient style of
cosmological creation accounts, do not accept that it is a scientific
description of the beginning of the universe.

You are starting with different assumptions, than they are.
