It seems from a quick scan of readings including the Bible, Adam was a hermaphrodite.

Because I actually have a SOURCE for my beliefs! That's why. There is no source that even remotely suggests that Adam was a hermaphrodite. The idea is taken out of thin air and is totally ridiculous.Ozymandius said:Highly ironic comming from someone who belives in talking donkeys and magical, 2000 year old carpenters. Why should it be any more crazy to suggest adam was a hermaphrodite or whatever, considering he didnt exist, at least not in a literal sense?

Umm...I'd hate to be bothersome, but would you mind explaining how you came to this conclusion and what parts of the Bible you scanned?Kris_J said:It seems from a quick scan of readings including the Bible, Adam was a hermaphrodite.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,...Hydra009 said:Umm...I'd hate to be bothersome, but would you mind explaining how you came to this conclusion and what parts of the Bible you scanned?
Always thought "image" was supposed to mean "spiritual image". Or do you think God is a bipedal primate?Kris_J said:Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,...

This is before God created "Eve" - so how were the Adam(s) to multiply?
I don't think this conclusion is necessary. As an allegorical "history" intended to impart morals and to counter polytheistic religions prevailant in the culture, Genesis isn't intended to be either a literal account, nor was it intended to portray a literal timeline.Kris_J said:Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,...

What if it can be found that the Bible implies that Adam was a hermaphrodite - & if scientific evidence shows that the earliest primates were hermaphrodites?RoboMastodon said:Always thought "image" was supposed to mean "spiritual image". Or do you think God is a bipedal primate?
Why is it ridiculous? Do you believe that in the literal Creation, all animals, plants & humans were only either male or female?SackLunch said:Because I actually have a SOURCE for my beliefs!

Hermaphrodites still exist today in both humans & primates, though not very common. Other animal species however can be hermaphrodites, & some are hermaphrodites/one gender at one stage in life & evolve to another gender later in life.madarab said:Kris_J, it would be very surprising (and likely damaging to the theory of evolution) if early primates acquired the trait of normally being hermaphrodites well after the time and cladistic catagorization where distinct sexual differentiation was acquired and then for every currently living primate to have lost it.
Thanks .... But I wonder if this topic is merely uninteresting or too scary to consider...Mistermystery said:Thread delivers.

Its in support of theistic evolution - Does it put your atheistic evolution view in danger since you haven't given any proper response?Mistermystery said:It's hillarious, that's what it is.
