How's that?

Our common ancestors are apes? Or, were we created in God's image, fully man and woman? What was he thinking?

New York Cardinal Says Adam & Eve May Have Been Lower Life Forms

NEW YORK (CWN) - Cardinal John O'Connor of New York said in a homily at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Sunday that Adam and Eve may have been not quite human.
"It is possible that when the two persons we speak of as Adam and Eve were created, it was in some other form, and God breathed life into them, breathed a soul into them -- that's a scientific question," Cardinal O'Connor was quoted as saying in Monday's New York Daily News.
The cardinal's comments come a month after Pope John Paul told a group of scientists that, as a hypothesis, evolution may have some validity as long as it recognizes God as the ultimate source and motivator of life and creation. volutionCardinal O'Connor said he does not expect his comments to cause any change in New York's Catholic school curriculum that already teach evolution, but added that schools might emphasize the "spiritual dimension" more, along with the role God played in creating the human soul, which distinguishes man from animals.
The Church continues to reject any notions of social Darwinism that says only the powerful are fittest for survival in modern societies, the cardinal added.

The two "PERSONS" were created in some other form? How's that?

Forget that drivel and believe God is my advice.

Many might see the Adam & Eve story as figurative because they could not imagine Adam being able to breathe right with one of his ribs missing!

Seems to say that we must 1) believe in monogenesis and 2) that God created the souls of A&E.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I will second that.

Hello all;

Adam and Eve may have been not quite human."It is possible that when the two persons we speak of as Adam and Eve were created, it was in some other form, and God breathed life into them, breathed a soul into them -- that's a scientific question

First I hope no man of God would go there. That being said the best advise I know to give is as Lynn 73 posted

Forget that drivel and believe God is my advice.

Any teacher or other person professing to beleive in Christ and be a follower of Him has bur one yard stick to be measured by........God's Word.
If your tacher, Pastor, Minister, Bishop or any other title deviates from God's Word count it will will be God's Word which is correct.
As always my love to all and May God Bless.

Yep.

Yep.

Just imagine it! Mary descended from a lower life form. And with her, the Christ!

Some of that stuff just plain isn't worth reading.

So can you explain to me why we should take a piece of Writing that is treated as an Epic Religious Ballad and treat it as a Historical Documentary?

Peace,

The Catholic church denies creation. How does that figure? That is the pulse of scripture. Without it = nothing.

You do not believe in creation.
That's all. That's enough.

 

[Windlord]

You do not believe in creation.
That's all. That's enough.

You know, last time I checked the requirements for salvation, they didn't involve answering the question "Do you believe in a literal six day Creation" with a yes, or a no.

Peace,

Windlord.

Actually the Catholic Church does no such thing. Catholics are free to believe in a six day creation, in an Old Earth Creation, or in Evolution. Why? Because how you believe the world was formed doesn't matter as long as you believe in who formed it.

Windlord.

Well, the RCC does not. According to the good Cardinal, you came from a lower life form.

And according to the Young Earth Creationists we came from Dirt. So your point is?

How and Who are impossible to separate. The Who says how in Genesis. Deny the Who and the how is of no consequence.
I believe the Who made it in six days. Because the Who says so in scripture.
And two of the things the Who made during that time, is man and woman in HIS image. His image is a lower life form?
The Who finished His work at the end of the sixth day. Finished it. Lower life form suggests the Who left something unfinished when He finished His work and declared if done and good.
That's just the way it is, eh?
