Those who believe in evolution...?

Question

Do you believe in Adam and Eve? If so, Adam and Eve were human, right...so do you believe Adam and Eve evolved from apes?

Or is this where the distinction between those who believe in evolution and those who do not begin?

If you don't believe in Adam and Eve, then I can possibly understand why you believe in evolution.

So the consensus is, those who believe in evolution, do not believe in Adam and Eve? Okay, I can understand your point of view now.

Oman396--that was the basis for my question. I've heard people they believe in both and if you believe in one that doesn't mean you can't believe in the other.

Just trying to understand...

In my personal opinion, God holds the answers to everything. The reason why there is so much diversity and we descended from only two people is very possible...we constantly find out new things about science and how there is so much diversity from only two people's dna is something we will find out, God willing.

Answer 1

I do think that people who believe in evolution have yet to explain it. Evolution suggests that we came from common ancestry, just like the story of Adam and Eve. The only difference is faith.....those with faith believe in God, and the story of adam and eve. A good many scientists believe in the atom, even though they cannot see it, touch it, hear it, or feel it. The story of Adam and Eve and God is very similar. You only need faith to believe in it.

Answer 2

One that believes in evolution would not also believe in Adam and Eve, the stories conflict each other. The bible doesn't say that God made apes then they evolved into Adam and Eve, it states that he created Adam and then created Eve from him.

If someone tells you that they believe in both, watch out for any property they want to sell to you. One cannot possibly believe both stories. The Big Bang Theory and evolution, yes, but not these two.

Answer 3

To literarly believe in Adam and Eve is to believe in the fairy tales we have written through the ages. The Bible has been put on earth by a divine being or king who wanted to put morals and values into our societies. If you listen to the message behind the stories, you gain an understanding for what's good and evil. These values have been passed down to people of the bible through generations. This is the way we live and percieve this earth. As far as evolution... This is only a speculative theory that allows for people to not question where we come from, or who we are. Living in the unkown can be just as/ if not more rewarding because it allows us not to have bios opinions. This in fact will get us closer to the truth then anything written on paper.

Too often people create a false understanding of being and forget that the basic principle of exhistance, is just that.

Answer 4

first of all studies have shown that life cannot come from somthing non living. Personally i believe by pure scientific evidence that chemicals do not combine to make a living cell becuase chemicals are not living. So how do we get a monkey? How do we get a fish? how do we get an elephant? How do we get humans? obviously we didn't evolve becuase you need the mysterious combining of chemicals to happen twice in a row to get man and woman and they both have to be chemically different. But life cannot come from a dead thing so the idea is blasphemous. Where as evolvment comes into play, macro evolution cannot possibly exsist becuase of the extreme diversity of the distinct characteristics of every living thing on the earth. I will not explain how life came to earth, but it was clearly , deliberately made... thus we must have came from someone.... Adam and Eve.

Answer 5

No Adam and Eve. There are older stories, slightly different, that Adam and Eve was copied from. One is called Iblis (ee-BLEES).

There are older flood stories, with different characters, different details. If these stories are obviously untrue, at least to the extent they were changed from the oldest record, then any possible credibility as the word of God goes out the window. The Bible is historical fiction.

This is entirely neglecting the MOUNTAIN of scientific evidence that we evolved from an ape-like ancestor, that we share DNA with apes, that it appears, from fossil evidence, that all life has a common ancestor. That stuff is pretty amazing, and it's true. Why hang on to your mythology? We have answers.

Answer 6

Check out www.creationworld.org a Great website and will answer all your questions. Think about this, if the earth is billions of years old, the desert grows 4 feet per year. The sea washes away 2 feet of coastline away every year. The reason we find fossils is because in the great flood mud buried the animals not taken on the ark. If you read the bible it says the words great beasts in the old testament.(Dinosaurs) The website has all kinds of great info by a scientist that found more proof for creation than evolution. Check it out. If we evolved form monkeys, Why are there monkeys?

Answer 7

No Adam and Eve. That defeats the whole purpose. A question to you: How would those two people bring about the diversity we see in humans around the globe? especially in 10,000 years?

Answer 8

Adam and Eve did exist, not to be racist or a Nazi but that probably where the Caucasian bloodline came from. Evolution? Hmnn all the ones that answered must have found the "missing link" that was the problem with Darwins theory. Monkey came from Man...ever been to South East Asia? See when Man gets lazy for say 10,000 years and quits taking care of himself he becomes a Monkey. Thats why it is important for all of us to act like Men and walk upright like a HOMO sapien. Or else we would all swing from trees

Answer 9

I do not believe in Adam and Eve. As I have stated in my own questioning, if incest is against the Bible, then how did we all get here from just two people?

Answer 10

no, I believe adam and eve was a myth, it would be hard to explain evolution in the bible, especially to the group of people that lived during that age. The scholars of Jesus's times weren't nearly as intelligent as we are now.
