if we evolved from apes,where does adam and eve come from?

Answer 1

they are two different theories...
if you are Christian usually you tend to believe that God created Adam and Eve, if you are sceptic you might think we come from apes...or pigs...



bloody hell...5 thumbs down already...there really are some sensitive people out here...relax!!!

Answer 2

You need to remember that, at the time, the world had to be described as they could see it - "Adam and Eve" just happened to be an easy was to explain the "chicken and egg" conundrum of human origins. They also thought that the earth was actually a little bubble in a huge sea (that's why the sky is blue - it's water up there - and why the bible talks about "the windows of heaven being opened" to start the flood).

Apart from anything - the bible has so many inconsistancies - like the fact that Adam and Eve were the first humans - then their kids go off to marry some other people - where'd the other people come from??

Answer 3

Darwinism does not say we evolved from apes. Adam and Eve are part of a Creation Myth. Totally separate. One is Science, the other Religion. Only Creationists and espousers of Intelligent Design try to mix the two. All part of their agenda to send us back into the Dark Ages.

Answer 4

Evolution is yet another unproven theory taught as fact when in actual fact the evidence provided has been debunkt over and over again, for instance; the oldest creatures - sharks, are still sharks, they have not evolved into anything else, crocs are still crocs, apes are still apes, in fact there is no emerging new species that have came out of the forest, only the ones we have'nt discovered yet, which have been left alone for thousands of years. The truth is, that the reverse of evolution is happening; in the case of crocs they are shrinking in size and living less longer than they used to. Finally, evolution falls flat at the first hurdle; that we evolved from simple single cells. A cell is like a miniture set of factories, if you remove any component of that cell to make it more simpler, it would die. So in essance, the cell would have had to pop into existence as it was for it to survive, in other words it would have had to be created, creation is an intelligent act, and as we are supposed to be intelligent also, do we have the means to create a single cell from nothing? No. so who did then?

Answer 5

adam and eve is a creation story, similar to those that can be found in every other cultures cosmogony. a lot of them have to do with the male part, (the void, lack of existence, sky) having sex with the female part, (light, substance, ocean) creating the planet earth. read up on some of the multitudes of creation myths and you will be surprised at how similar they all are, including ours, to each other. on the same note, stories about great floods and plagues across cultures and eras are also very similar.
we dont call the adam and eve story a creation myth like we do the ancient greeks story about eros, gaia, zeus, etc, because it is the accepted story at the moment. the greeks didnt call what they believe to be the reason for existence a myth either. one can only imagine what humanity will think of our creation myth's thousands of years from now.
please just understand that there are many more ideas about why we exist then the two you have mentioned. its very enlightening to learn about how humans have answered the question though out history. the lack of diversity in the stories perhaps says something about how un-unique all cultures are in the end. (and they all do end. even ours)
consider this as a starting point if your scared to tackle religion just yet; how did almost every culture around the world come up with the imaginary animal, the dragon, without being exposed to the idea from other cultures? that is also a very interesting and illuminating field of inquiry. (many people believe the dragon comes from primates instinctual fear of talons [birds of prey] scales [poisonous snakes] and big cats. [represented by the cat like face and whiskers] put all these together in the subconscious and there you have it, the model of a dragon for almost all cultures)

Answer 6

In no work of Darwin did he ever say man evolved from apes. I shall not get into the argument of Adam and Eve's existence.

Answer 7

The old testament was a book of stories.

Those stories were intended to help early man understand his surroundings a little better and live a better life.

Sadly after a few generations a lot of ignorant fools began taking the thing as being literally true - and all hell broke loose.

It took thousands of years for a guy to come along and say - wait a minute; "lets stop believing the nonsense in this book, Why don't we all just be nice to each other instead"

Of course the decedents of the ignorant fools that believed 100% in the Old Testament nailed the poor bloke to a piece of wood and left him to die.

300 years later the cult of Jesus Christ was cemented with the Roman Catholic Religion, and the first edited and compiled editions of the New Testament were printed.

Sadly these "Catholics" were closely related to the ignorant fools that started all the trouble in the first place. "Christians" then spent 1500 years spreading ignorance and causing hideous bloodshed across the globe.

Ignorance should be avoided at all costs.

Answer 8

We did not evolve from apes. There is a divine Deity , God,who created the heavens and the earth.Creations are not by chance or evolution. God created all things. Adam and Eve were his first human creations; Adam being the first male and Eve being the first female.
In any case, if we evolved from apes, why are no apes still evolving to mankind? Think about this.

Answer 9

Clearly, the two precepts are contradictory.

The key word here, though, is "If..." There is an element of doubt about evolution. No one seems to be certain about how it happened (not even eminent evolutionists like Richard Dawkins and David Attenborough who sometimes or often use vague suppositions when describing certain aspects of the process), the clues seem sparse and just as likely to lend support to any logical or semi-logical theory about the origin of life including evolution and creation and whatever else there might be in somebody's fertile imagination.

What gets me is why is evolution as a whole presented in proved and factual terms when there seems to be this doubt hovering in the background?

Answer 10

They were God's creation, Adam from the ground, Eve from his rib. We didn't evolve from monkeys because its a THEORY that scientists are trying to prove because they simply don't wanna admit that someone greater is the author of creation. The Bible is true because all other religions are copies of it. Men trying to have a god on their terms. The bible also prophesied events that came to pass and its the only book to have done so. Is it too hard for God who created the whole universe to make a man and a woman?

Answer 11

If we evolved from apes, then Adam evolved from them. Hardly this is the case since I am a Christian. But Christian may believe these weird things from science, since true Christians are lovers of truth. Anyway, if God created us through evolution then who am I to deny this? Anyway if evolution says nothing about God since it cannot prove nor trace back the very origin of life, then how can evolution theory is so certain that we are the descendants of the great apes in the past? There are missing and missing and missing evidence aside from tons of facts provided by evolutionary biologists. We need an evolutionary theorist to answer correctly this question. But I doubt that any reputable evolutionist can correctly answer the question. Let alone the mystery of how life I mean the "first" life appeared on earth was still a big mystery to them not specifically to evolutionists for they do not dealing with "how" life began. But it can be use as an argument against them for hard core evolutionists like Richard Dawkins is an outspoken atheist.

Life in itself is a miracle, unless someone in the lab can demonstrate on how to "create" life that has its own "free will" and "consciousness". I hope Richard Dawkins can demonstrate in his lab on how to create life. He may consider it a miracle, but miracle don't have a place in science, so how can he claim that there is no God at all? So let the atheists create life then! I follow the argument of Bertrand Russel rather than from him!

Science was still very primitive inspite of the claims of the Atheists.
