Darwin originally believed that acquired characteristics are passed on to the next generation, I.E. the giraffe got its neck by stretching it out over several generations, etc. This view is no longer held by scientists. At one time evolutionists beleived that one species became another one through acquired characteristics. The Bible says that each type of creature reproduces after its own kind, I.E., horses have baby horses, not baby giraffes. Should the Bible have had this "error" corrected to reflect the shallow pseudo-scientifical thought of that time?
Many times in the past the Bible disagreed with what the "scientifical" ideas were teaching, such as the sudden creation of the universe as opposed to the steady-state theory, the idea that all dry land was at one time gathered in one place, vs that the continents always existed as seperate masses, the "science" ended up changing, the Bible did not. Which one needs to change?

Is anyone missing the obvious here. You are making statements about humans that are born in the womb. In the creation account you read in Genesis this is not an issue. God created a fully grown man and woman. The concept of being in the womb is irrelevent in this discussion since neither the male or the female were created in the womb. So there is no contradiction on that basis nor is there any contradition to how we are created biologically through the process of conception since the initial creation of Adam and Eve.

Zygote, embryo, and fetal sex is determined from conception, when the spern enters the egg. Sperm contain either an XY set of sexual chromosomes, or an XX set. The XY's swim faster and are less influenced by female hormones and uterine changes, while the XX's live longer, thus the timing advantages for
selecting sex of the fetus.
Any zygote/fetus will be influenced by the amount of maternal estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone circulating within
the maternal environment, but sexual genitalia per se is not changed from XX to XY or vice versa.
It is indeed the male sperm that determines the sex of
the fetus. It's pretty basic genetics, I'd suggest a search using the terms gamete influence, sex embryology, or sexual genetics.

Religion doesn’t work that way. If there is one thing wrong in the bible, then you have to throw the whole thing out. You can’t edit it because that would mean you’re changing the word of god and if god is wrong, than he isn’t god.
So, to continue believing in the bible, when someone talks to you about science and tries to teach you about it, it’s best just to put your fingers in your ears and sing very loudly.
But that question really doesn't mean much. Adam and Eve were supposedly created as adults.

All embryos start off physically looking to be male until later in development, in females, the testicles grow inward.
If the bible is the foundation of what one believes, why should it be changed to soot his/her wants, desires and needs?
When the theory of evolution stops answering or disagrees with your beliefs, shall it also be changed to allow you to accept it?
Choose a belief and then learn to accept the that there will pros and cons in that choice.

The bible is a book of mythology and proverbs. It should not be updated or changed. It should also not be taken literally or seriously. It has nothing to do with Science or reality.

ALL HUMANS ARE ORIGINALLY FEMALES IN THE WOMB? Congrats! You've just won the prize for the most irrational unfounded statement ever posted on this forum! (And that's hard to win)!

1. No, your logic is all wrong. The Bible in no way contradicts anything on this manner. Think through it some more.
2. Oh, regarding evolution. SCIENCE has clearly disproven macro-evolution! Read your scientific laws.
SCIENCE & the BIBLE both support micro-evolution.
Once again, I fail to see any contradiction.

Interesting interpretation of the symbology in Genesis. Not sure that it's correct, but interesting nonetheless.
