origin of mankind?

Question

Is Aristophanes’ Origin of Love any more believable than that of the Bible?

Answer 1

We evolved from single-celled amoeba from the sea; once had gills, once had tails, once appeared like apes, to whose family we belong; but, were always destined to be man--not moneys, not gorillas--but man. Like, seeds all look alike--like seeds; but, some are destined to be oranges, some apples, etc. We may have had many forms; but, we were always destined to become man.

The Adam/Eve story is a parable symbolic of when pre-historic man when s(he) first had consciousness of her/his creator; though, I believe Adam was the first prophet--the father of the Adamic Cycle.

Answer 2

We do have several accurate scientific facts wrote in the Bible 1000's of years before science discovered them.

The Shape of the Earth
"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in" (Isaiah 40:22, NIV).
This may or may not be construed to support the spherical shape of the earth. The horizon is a circle and a circle is flat.
The Earth is suspended in nothing
"He spreads out the northern [skies] over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing" (Job. 26:7, NIV).
This is particularly interesting considering that the cosmology of other cultures at that time did not have the earth suspended in nothing, but rather upon pillars, or people, or animals.
The Stars are Innumerable
"He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars -- if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be" (Gen. 15:5, NIV).
The Existence of Valleys in the Seas
"The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of breath from his nostrils" (2 Sam. 22:16, NIV).
The Existence of Springs and Fountains in the Seas
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month -- on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened" (Genesis 7:11, NIV). See also Gen. 8:2; Prov. 8:28.
The Existence of Water Paths (Ocean Currents) in the Seas
"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!...When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,...You made him [man] ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet...the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas" (Psalm 8:1,3,6,8, NIV).
The Hydrologic Cycle
"He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight" (Job. 26:8, NIV).
"He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind" (Job. 36:27-28, NIV)
"The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again (Ecclesiastes 1:6-7, NIV).
The Concept of Entropy
"In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded" (Psalm 102:22-26, NIV).
The Nature of Health, Sanitation, and Sickness
The listing for this section is too large for this page. But the scriptural references are Leviticus 12-14.

many human beings even as they listen Tibet suggested continually presume Buddhism yet this isn't strictly authentic Tibetan Buddhism is a blend of Buddhism and a individuals perception referred to as Bon many of the memories and superstition get up from the Bon perception no longer from Buddhism as an celebration each and every time Tibetans see a Crescent Moon a lot of them will collect contained in the open Shouting on the Moon and also making a poor din with drums they trust the Moon is being eaten by employing Demons and are attempting to chase the Demons away there are a spread of alternative examples like this too It no longer in ordinary words in Tibet yet many international locations the position Buddhism has spread we are able to be sure community customs and ideology integrated in this way and to Non Buddhists or maybe some Buddhist can locate it complicated to be sure the position Buddhism ends and local custom starts

Answer 4

The origin of mankind? Right in the links below. Not all people we call mankind are in fact part of what GOD called mankind. Not all races are part of mankind. God only called Adam and Eve man but the Bible proves that there were other races alive outside the garden so therfor they were not included into the "mankind scheme of GOD and God is not refering to them when He speaks of "man."

Answer 5

The answer you seek is in the Book of Genesis.
There you'll find the origin of mankind happened on the 6th day of creation.
