Bible Gateway passage: 1 Kings 2:37-46 - New International Version This passage also says someone would die the day he disobeyed. He did disobey and didn't die until he went to Gath from Jerusalem and came back, which would take more than a day.I understand you want to believe this, but of course it's not true. There's nothing whatever in Genesis that is inconsistent with evolution. How could there be? Evolution is God's creation.
It also says there were mornings and evenings before there was a sun to have them. It's obvious passages like this that tell us it's not a literal account.
That's another misconception. God says to Adam that he will die the day he eats from the tree, but Adam lives on physically for many years thereafter. If God tells the truth, then the death Adam brought into the world was not a physical one.
That was a particularly dumb mistake. No biologist would say that. But a chemist might, if he was entirely ignorant of biology, and Safarti seems to be.
Nope. Show me anywhere than PNAS has ever said that all changes in organisms are evolution. You won't find one.
Sorry, first two paragraphs, your guy made two laughable errors. That's all there is. If you think there's something therein that might be worth discussing, bring it forward, and we'll look.
The two I mentioned earlier. Safarti used to post on at least one message board. He's not very good at biology.
Actually, at the time he wrote the book, he was an orthodox Anglican, only later becoming agnostic. However, as you now see from Darwin himself, the origin of life is not part of his theory.
You should tell Safarti; he's been reminded numerous times, and still can't get it right. He does it, I think, because he's aware that nothing in Genesis rules out evolution, and we still don't know precisely how the earth brought forth life.
Well, let's take a look....
KJV - Doesn't say what you want it to.
Douay Doesn't say what you want it to.
NIV Doesn't say what you want it to.
What version is "right" in your judgement?
But you can't show that it is. Why is that?
But that's not what God said, is it? He told Adam that he would die the day he ate from the tree. If God is truthful, that death is not a physical one. Adam was always mortal; God even expresses concern that he might become so, and makes sure that he doesn't.
That is your addition to scripture to make it more acceptable to you. It's not what God tells us.
It's only inconsistent if you try to make it a literal history. If you read it plainly, you see that it's figurative.
Because as Christians have always seen, a literal history would not have mornings and evenings before a sun to have them.
3 And God said,J)' data-cr="#cen-NIV-3J"> “Let there be light,” and there was light.K)' data-cr="#cen-NIV-3K"> 4 God saw that the light was good,L)' data-cr="#cen-NIV-4L"> and he separated the light from the darkness.M)' data-cr="#cen-NIV-4M"> 5 God calledN)' data-cr="#cen-NIV-5N"> the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”O)' data-cr="#cen-NIV-5O"> And there was evening, and there was morningP)' data-cr="#cen-NIV-5P">—the first day.
The light performed the same function as the sun. It is not illogical to have the mornings and evenings without the sun as long as you have light, since the role the sun plays is to provide light.
The NLT says 'If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die'
God only blocked access to the tree of life after they sinned and were expelled from the garden. Thus this doesn't contradict the literal interpretation. Also, if they were mortal before the fall, why didn't God put the angel to guard the tree of life there immediately?
What's PNAS? I don't think I ever referred to it.
Refuting Evolution chapter 2: Variation and natural selection versus evolution - creation.com
Please read 'Adaptation and Natural Selection' and 'The alleged evidence for evolution in action' and 'contrasting the models'
If you think evolution is true then I assume you think the days were long ages and Adam and Eve appeared long after the world was created?
