human life began in Africa, is this not what the bible tells us?

[ihavefoundgod951]

Science tells us human life began in Africa, does this science not support what the Bible tells us in Genesis?

This is yet more proof that supports the legitimacy of the Holy.

Please do discuss

The Bible also tells us that god literally poofed man into being. Science tells us man evolved over millions and millions of years.

Most scientists and layperson's have come to the agreement that Eden was somewhere in Iraq (Wikipedia Garden of Eden, see under Proposed Locations), I think that is due to the description about rivers meeting and flowing together then distributing out into a channel. You can Google it.

With that said, we know that Adam and Eve were evicted from the garden and could have very well went to Africa.

I thought edon was above the earth?

I am fairly sure Adam and Eve where sent down to Africa. Fastforward to Abraham he was living in north Africa, so one has to assume Adam and Eve where also.

Well Genetics tell us this is correct.

Evolution is a myth.

My bible tells me that man was made from the materials of the ground.
Which bible are you reading?

Yes my Bible tells me the same, thank you for pointing this out.


So Africa, is this the origins of mankind?

 

[Loudmouth]

If that is what the Bible tells us, then I am left to wonder why it took over 2,000 years to figure out what it said. Why didn't we see Jews in 200 BC saying that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors in Africa?

It would seem to me that the scientific discoveries are quite independent of what Genesis is trying to teach.

Because we didn't evolve from apes, to say apes evolved from dinosaurs and dinosaurs from fish is preposterous

 

[Loudmouth]

Because we didn't evolve from apes,

The evidence says otherwise.

It didn't. People just like to argue about what it says more now. It seems to have been agreed upon more back in those days than it is now because people used to actually READ it instead of relying on others to read it like often happens today.

Right. In my estimation, that's no different than "poofing." It's all miracle/magic/supernatural/etc. Same difference.

"Poofing"? Is this what atheistic argument terminology has devolved into?

 

[ihavefoundgod951]

The evidence says otherwise.

No this evidence is has huge holes, this proves nothing.

I agree we may have some hereditary evolution, small traits, the passing down of knowledge etc

But to say a fish evolved into a dinosaur then to a ape is ridiculous

 

[Loudmouth]

I just showed you the transitional fossils that fill the holes.

Some? Chimps share more DNA with humans than they do with gorillas.

But to say a fish evolved into a dinosaur then to a ape is ridiculous

No one is saying that apes evolved from dinosaurs. No ancestor of an ape was a dinosaur.

Then describe the mechanism for us.

 

[Loudmouth]

It didn't. People just like to argue about what it says more now. It seems to have been agreed upon more back in those days than it is now because people used to actually READ it instead of relying on others to read it like often happens today.

Would you say that Genesis was never meant to describe a literal history of man?

 

[Aldebaran]

Then describe the mechanism for us.

God is an excellent craftsman!

 

[Loudmouth]

God is an excellent craftsman!

I was asking for a real, observable mechanism, not another empty platitude.

No one is saying that apes evolved from dinosaurs. No ancestor of an ape was a dinosaur.

Darwin's theory says we evolved from fish to dinosaurs to ape to man

Its ridiculous.

To some science is a borderline religion, its what us Christians would call Idolatry

Read Genesis all you need to know is in the book

 

[Loudmouth]

Reference?

Says the people who worship the Bible as their god.

Following the evidence to sound conclusions is not a religion.

Read Genesis all you need to know is in the book

The map is not the territory. Look at the evidence.
