Answer 1

The theory was discovered in the 19th century. So...................no.

Answer 2

Evolution Theory was first presented in the mid 1800s, so technically no.
However, if you look at the Greek creation stories, and don't take them literally, they do fit quite nicely. They include different races of men and different eras. It's not blatant, but it's an easily made metaphorical hop. That is, the concept was there, but they didn't make a big deal out of it. It was just logical (as it remains).

I'm personally a NeoHellenic Pagan and an evolutionist and I find the old stories match quite well with evolutionary theory.They aren't the only ones either.

PS When insulting others, it helps to capitalize your "I"s and spell the insults properly.

Answer 3

It's possible.

However, you have to understand. Big chunks of the histories of these peoples were lost due to the burning of libraries and ancient texts.

People knew the solar system was heliocentric in BC times. People made electrical batteries. People had indoor plumbing.
Then this period of time rolled around: The Dark Ages.

The earth was suddenly the center of the universe and people were 'going' in the streets. And so it remained for a thousand-five hundred years or so. Then we started relearning things.

A LOT of scrolls and texts were burned. The Library of Alexandria was just one of those, who housed many one of a kind texts. Unfortunately for the Library, it was attached to the Temple Serapiem, which Theodosis the First ordered to be burned down.

So really, other than the Greeks and a metaphoric evolution of the soul, who can really say? Maybe evolution is just another one of those things we had to relearn.

Answer 4

There was no formal theory. A number of ancient cultures conceptualized evolution. The process of improvement in gradual stages, while not strictly biological evolution, is fundamental in the caste system, karma, and reincarnation. The ancient Greeks conceptualized evolution.

Answer 5

Scientists didn't piece together the theory until the 1800's or so. The ancient pagans died out long before then.

Answer 6

My understanding of this theory, is it was realised by Darwin while living in the Galapagos Islands. And before you attempt to insult the intelligence of Americans again, I would suggest you learn how to piece together a simple paragraph...idiot. I could challenge you with a piece of Saran Wrap.

Answer 7

The belief that we all came from Adam and Eve is not a theory. It is said in the Bible. There is absolutely no proof. As a good Christian, you are supposed to believe what is said in the Bible.

Theory of evolution is science not religion. There is enough proof for this theory.

Answer 8

The only one I have found is those Pagans of the Isis Bloodline.

Answer 9

Paganism is a religion not a myth.....you should post this question in religion you might get better answers.
