Your opinion of how life started is not relevant here.

It isn't my opinion. It is the conclusion drawn from 150 years of biological discovery. Evolution did happen.

The issue is whether the bible teaches Adam evolved out of the ground as some guy and his wife seemed to teach here.

Why do you insist on a view of the Bible that forces it to be false?

No. Eve was made from man. The sons of Adam and Eve could not have taken millions of years! Adam lived 930 years so Eve could not have taken long ages to appear or 'evolve'. Adam lived thirty some odd YEARS and then had Seth...with Eve as the mother.

Those that have claimed some old age evolution as biblical are proved wrong.
You have proved nothing, other than a lack of understanding of basics. Individuals don't evolve, populations do.

Your OP comes across as a confused rant.

Of course, Dad is trying to distort what Professor Tertius and his wife have published. They point out that Genesis 2:7 simply states that H+ADAM ("the human one") was created from "the dust of the ground". In other words, the Hebrew text simply says that the ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS for all life was THE SOIL (and the basic chemical elements of the earth's crust.) So Gen. 2:7 describe abiogenesis, life from non-living ingredients.

Nothing in the Genesis text says that Adam was formed DIRECTLY and/or IMMEDIATELY from the dirt. So the professor is saying that the theory of evolution is completely compatible with Gen. 2:7.

And as Loudmouth observed, only TRADITION as imposed upon the text by Dad makes up the idea that the soil-to-man transformation was instantaneous and without intermediate steps.

The Bible doesn't "teach" the theory of evolution. But it says NOTHING that contradicts it. And that was VerySincere and MrsLurking' postings.

And we already have Genesis 2 for that.

More ethnic slurs from AV16.

Of course, he has yet to demonstrate that Genesis 1 was meant to be a chronological account of a week of history.

The "Bible Adam" was, according to that Book, the first image-of-God-bearing human. And we KNOW that the SPECIES (the population) which Adam represented evolved over great time. We KNOW it because of the abundant evidence in God's creation. (We even know it from the DNA inside of every descendent of Adam.)

So OF COURSE Adam was the product of evolution. Genesis 2:7 says that the ULTIMATE beginning of the ingredients that went into Adam and ALL of life was "the dust of the ground", dirt/soil. And that came from eroded rock. And that came, ultimately, from elements created by fusion. And ultimately from the Big Bang.


Those that have claimed some old age evolution as biblical are proved wrong.

If someone thinks it is "proved wrong", I'd sure like to see that proof. [And here is where the dodging and evasion will begin.]

Adam didn't evolve out of the ground because Adam and Eve are just a story.

How about according to the bible? Do you think it is an honest position to claim you believe in the bible, AND that Adam evolved over millions of years?

You forgot God! That was the MAIN ingredient! And, no, God forming Adam, then Eve in a day of creation is nothing like abiogenesis. One cannot have evolution of species and end up with just a man can they? Let me guess God did not reeeeaaalllllly use Adam's rib to create Eve??

That depends if we know what a morning or evening is.

So the professor is saying that the theory of evolution is completely compatible with Gen. 2:7.

And exposing his source of spiritual inspiration.


And as Loudmouth observed, only TRADITION as imposed upon the text by Dad makes up the idea that the soil-to-man transformation was instantaneous and without intermediate steps.
False. The acceptance of the obvious creation in a day by God of Adam was around long before dad.
The Bible doesn't "teach" the theory of evolution.
No, it eliminates it.
But it says NOTHING that contradicts it.
False.

Eve was made by God from a man's rib. No evolution allows that!


Hey kid...run for you life from those people's vile teachings. Do not look back. Even if they were your parents!

How could a population evolve and result in Adam??? Would females not be needed in your fantasies?

Rapid evolution happened and started from the created kinds. But that is not the topic.

The question is IF you believed the bible, would you claim that Adam evolved??

Hey that is NO problem whatsoever. Do you really think the bible says Adam evolved over millions of years??? I would think the honest atheist would admit that if they believed the bible, they would accept that God formed Adam in creation week.

You know squat. Be honest.

Show us how DNA says Adam evolved over great time!!!!!!??

False. The key was God. His life He breathed after He formed man.



And that came from eroded rock.
Absurd. Obviously the new planet rock did not come from eroded rock.


And that came, ultimately, from elements created by fusion. And ultimately from the Big Bang.
Utter rubbish and fable.

If someone thinks it is "proved wrong", I'd sure like to see that proof.
Forget proving anything wrong that is not first proven, period.

Eve was not the first woman.
Yes, we know.

y-Adam was having an affair for tens of thousands of years before mtDNA-Eve came on the scene -- right?

Are you confused, AV? You've stopped talking about the Bible.

It's called reproduction, dad. When a daddy and a mommy love each other very very much, then ....

{Why don't you ask your parents, ok? That little chat is long overdue in your case.}

The Bible is a book of stories. Isn't it more prudent for a Christian to believe in Christ?
