So?But he didn't tell us everything exactly. For example, how did the other races like Chinese, Indians, Africans, Caucasians and all that happen? We know it happened some how out of Adam and Eve, but we don't have exact details on how scientifically.
It's shear ignorance to state that you cannot tell between actual literal meaning of the bible and times when it is being figurative...It is just arrogance though to think that you alone have to faculty to decide what is real and what is not intended as literal in the Bible.
You are trying way to hard. Recognize when you have lost a point.Actually the earth is not a sphere, it is flattened at the poles and bulges at the Equator, the Earth is an oblate spheroid. And there are, as far as we know, not 9 planets in the solar system, there are 8,
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, though there may be a nineth very, very much further out which we cannot currently detect by any other means than mathematical calculations.
The fact that the bible does not specifically give us this information is indicative, I suggest, that God wants us to find out for ourselves. Something YECs don't seem very much interested in doing, judging from your knowledge of the number of planets in your own solar system and the shape of the earth you are living on.
As for your idea that the Bible 'tells us' things; it doesn't. We read things from it and interpret what we read. Much of what previous generations interpreted in the field of science, they interpreted wrongly. Some of it they got right. But flat earth and geocentric universe are but two major misconceptions which bible readers got seriously WRONG. Human nature being what it is though, there is still a 'Flat earth society' championing the cause of insisting the earth is FLAT, and there are still people who firmly believe, against all the factual evidence, that the earth is the centre of the universe.
C'est la vie.

Your arguments have become empty.Yes, but as i've saying. Regardless of the Bible not saying it, that doesn't mean the scientific theory is wrong. The only way evolution can be proven wrong is by counter scientific evidence, but there isn't.
The Bible explains the Earth experiencing morning during the 1st day, but how is this naturally possible if the Earth is a tiled sphere, also what about planets like Jupiter - which experience days differently. Does this mean we reject these too?
Or they could have been in an initial biological state prior to evolution. This verse about how Eve came to be shows no reason to reject evolution.
Why/how does Eve being the mother of all contradict evolution? We have bones of what humans looked like far back in BC, you can even see some of the difference in early AD Mongolia. Those Asians during the time of Gengis had skulls that where different in shape to the asians now, but we don't deny that asians today are descendents of the Asians during that time. So why can't this logic be also applied to Adam and eve? Please read up on evolution because this quote has shown you barely know anything about it.
And don't teach that the Bible is a science book.
Evolution isn't impossible. You only reject evolution because of your lack of knowledge on it and your inability to accept that the Bible isn't a science-revealing book.
Just go back to my arguments about the 1st day and try to tie it in on your reasoning against Evolution (God making eve through adam).
The Bible in no ways teaches evolutionism.
Actually, I totally disagree. We must stand against "theories" of mere men if and when they contradict biblical truth. Especially when they contradict plain text as the creation account is stated.
Of course it does not. Neither does it says anything about plate tectonics or continental drift because it is not a science book and the people writing it had no clue about evolution or plate tectonics but had an understanding of what an earthquake was.
Does this somehow mean that now when we actually understand the mechanics of the earthquake that information is somehow invalid because it was not mentioned in the Bible ?
But it does tell us that God formed Adam with His own hands and made Eve from Adam's rib...Of course it does not. Neither does it says anything about plate tectonics or continental drift because it is not a science book and the people writing it had no clue about evolution or plate tectonics but had an understanding of what an earthquake was.

You've been asked several times, in what stage of mans evolution did mankind fall?Your problem is that you don't understand Genesis. You have turned it into a very old newspaper report on God making a man from mud pies and some persons eating fruit. You have stripped it of all its meaning apart from the statement of some dodgy historical facts that have little meaning in terms of human psychology, salvation history or indeed anything else important to a person living today.
I suppose the tower of babel was also a parable.But he didn't tell us everything exactly. For example, how did the other races like Chinese, Indians, Africans, Caucasians and all that happen? We know it happened some how out of Adam and Eve, but we don't have exact details on how scientifically.
You thought my last response to this was funny.
That doesn't surprise me... You don't take scripture as truth as a habit..

Evolution is apostate.
That is just your interpretation of the genesis. There are plenty of Christian who believe in evolution.
You've been asked several times, in what stage of mans evolution did mankind fall?
Why will you not answer that question?
The truth could not care and does not depend on how many people believe it... it will still be the truth.
That is just your interpretation of the genesis. There are plenty of Christian who believe in evolution.

Evolution contradicts a literalistic interpretation of Genesis; however, according to Catholicism and most contemporary Protestant denominations, biblical literalism in the creation account is not mandatory. Christians have considered allegorical interpretations of Genesis since long before the development of Darwin's theory of evolution, or Hutton's principle of uniformitarianism. A notable example is St. Augustine (4th century), who, on theological grounds, argued that everything in the universe was created by God in the same instant, and not in six days as a plain reading of Genesis would require.[6] Modern theologians such as Meredith G. Kline and Henri Blocher have advocated what has become known as the literary framework interpretation of the days of Genesis.
