whom to believe: darwin or adam and eve?

Answer 1

Regarding Adam and Eve,

At least the idiots that believe in the bible accept they are inbred :)

Evolution is a LAW not a theory.
Facts to prove it.

1. HUMAN taller than in pre-history
2. Vestigial structures
3. bacteria resistance to anti-biotic
4. selective breeding in horse, dogs, fish, etc
5? Liberals - once conservative through time educated enough to advance to the latter stage of development

ape - conservative - liberal - me ;)

Answer 2

Darwin come up with an interesting, yet incomplete theory, while Adam and Eve is not to be taken litterally, as the whole bible, but is just a way to explain things that could be very difficult to explain with the terminology of that period.

All in all, we don't really get the whole answer yet, Darwin cover evolution from our environment constraints to have been at the origin of humans, while the other think that explain how humans become like we are today (culturally speaking we are a trade base specie and Adam and Eve explain just that).

Answer 3

The story of Adam and Eve is an interesting Theological tale. There are references of Adam's first wife that was created as his equal. Being the typical man, Adam complained to God about this dilemma and God agreed. The first wife, Lilith, was banished. God then created Eve from one of Adam's rib bones (this symbolizes Adam's ownership of her and his superiority to her). So in essence we have three people on earth. Two in Eden and one outside. There are later references of other people on earth. Kane even went to a city after he killed his brother... If his parents were the first two people and Kane and Able were their offspring... where did the population of the city come from. Very simple. The Jewish people believed that THEY were made in god's image. Not all humanity, just themselves. So in a strictly theological view Adam and Eve could have populated the earth with people. Not all people but they were the founding parents of the Jewish people.

This is also a fable much like Romulus and Remus forming Rome... or on more familiar terms the chicken and the egg. There must always be a start, so early people believed that start must have been a single man and a single woman. Makes sense from theri standpoint when they have no concept of evolution.

My vote is for intelligent design. Evolution guided by the hand of God.

Answer 4

Alfred Russel Wallace proposed a theory of natural selection
which prompted Charles Darwin to publish his works early the two combined there work and published a joint journal the work these men did has stood the test of time and This theory became widely accepted by the scientific community
Adam and eve was just a bible story

Answer 5

I believe Charles Darwin of course! Adam & Eve thing is just a mtyth!

Answer 6

If the bible is right how come it also condemns inbreading? Adam and Eve must have had a female child...which must have had sex with Adam or one of the male children...doesn't really make sence...I don't know about you but I wouldn't screw my sister.
And the creation of complex organs such as the eye can be explained - they are made up of cells - these cells are random mutations for example the cones cells in the eye: These can detect light - a simple creature that can detect light will have a much better chance of survival than one that can't. With 2 cone cells it can detect light at twice the visual acuracy and definition than the previous simple creature so will survive better and most likely out compete the 1st.

Answer 7

Darwin, He's more believable, and more scientific. Some of his theories can be proven by science.

Adam and Eve, is really a fairytale invented for religion. As if someone could be created from sand or a rib, it's not scientifically possible

Answer 8

Adam and Eve never wrote a book, or any kind of articles, detailing their life in Eden. I might be mistaken. But Darwin wrote a book. That doesnt necessarily answer your question........You, however, can believe whatever you want. I'm leaning towards Darwin however.

Answer 9

I believe Darwin, there's proof of evolution. A teacher in school told me that Adam and Eve is only a type of fable.

Answer 10

definately not darwin or any so called doctors or scientists from the 1700's to the late 1800's because their ideas and theories are and were based upon finding reasons why africans were inferior,which would support or justify the continual act of enslavement in the world. aristotle claimed that through the color of a man skin he can be labeled slave if he's dark,black etc... this was the premise for all the sciences and medical discoveries of that era. and since king james screwed the bible that isn't credible either. try another question this time make it a more intelligent one. don't forget the era of these people,america does have a sick history .

Answer 11

I'd give the scientific vote to Darwin, but the message behind the biblical Genesis of humanity never satisfied with a perfect world and seeking their own destruction is certainly the more important message for us all!
