Was "Eve" the first female created by God?

Question

If the answer is yes, well then was she human? Yes? That`s odd the oldest fossilized remains of a human being was found in Africa. Her name is Lucy.
Lucy was a hominid. Last time I checked hominids existed before human beings. Because obviously hominids evolved into human beings. Which brings up the following questions.

Was Eve the first female created by God, and was she a human being? If the answer is Yes on both counts then what about Lucy?

Answer 1

The word Eve is a symbolic name for woman.

Does the Genesis account of creation contradict the scientific theory of evolution? No. In affirming that God is the ultimate cause of all that exists, Genesis gives its ultimate meaning and purpose - "Why" the world exists. It does not explain "how" the physical world came to be in its present condition, which the theory of evolution tries to explain.

The Catholic Church does not have an official position on whether various life forms developed over the course of time. However, it says that, if they did develop, then they did so under the impetus and guidance of God, and their ultimate creation must be ascribed to him.

Concerning human evolution, the Church has a more definite teaching. It allows for the possibility that man's body developed from previous biological forms, under God's guidance, but it insists on the special creation of his soul.

Answer 2

Well,
First of all, does it really matter? How old are we and we keep trying to understand a past that can't be understood. Secondly, when you die 21 grams leave your body. Science has proven that. Therefore, it can be concluded, in the absence of any better speculation, that the human soul is real and leaves the body upon its death. So, if Eve was here or not you will eventually die. Your 21 grams will leave your body. And, if physical evolution can explain your soul, or the ghost we all know to be real, then everyone has nothing to worry about. Chances are though, that our beliefs and mythologies are not an accurate account of God or His love for us anyway. The Bible tells us that we will be made perfect through suffering. Yet, every insufferable person seems to believe that because of suffering there is no God. Go figure. Well, there are spirits and that seems to indicate some degree of life after death. So, live responsibly so there are no major disappointments. And, avoid the gospels of fear, hate, and bigotry in all forms.
Remember, Darwin said he could find that evolution occured on this earth, but not that it applied to man.
Also, Darwin's greatest ally forfeited his belief of evolution because he was a atheist. An atheist, you say, how does that make sense.
Well, he explained, that for a species to evolve it had to first be determined that if that species didn't change it would become extinct.
So, he asked the obvious question...Who did the determining?
Determining brings in intellect and understanding and forethought. At that point you are bringing in a higher consciousness and therefore, probably, a God of some kind. So, he had abondoned evolution. Why don't you do the same before you have to commit that God exist.
Bye.

Answer 3

Giving an ancient fossil a human name doesn't make it human. Your question assumes that Humans evolved from hominids. This is not the case. God created humans in his own image. Humans were the last of his creations.

Evolution is not as solid as scientists like to believe.

Answer 4

You can ask for our believes or tell us yours, but you can't do both.

Yes Eve was the first and only female created by god, and yes she was human.
Lucy is a skeleton of fossils and like you said is the oldest one found. that doesn't mean the oldest one there ever was, just the only one found. There is believe that she was a hominid, and that she is more than three millions years old. You said that hominids evolved into humans, but thats your beleive.

If you believe in the bible you will know or should know that according to the bible humans were not created 3 million years ago. You could use the family tree from Adam and Eve all the way to jesus and it certanly doesnt revealed millions of years worth of generations.

So with that in mind either Lucy is not that old and probably had some deformality like some humans that live no on this days that would make her arms longer or change other features where it could make her look like a medium between the humans and whatever animal evolusionist beleive that humas come from. Or maybe she is really 3 millions years old which means she belonged to a previos generation of animals that maybe we don't know about that also walk in 2 feet like humans. If you refer to the bible you know that there is reference that only thousands of years where in the way between Adam and Eve and Jesus, but there is no reference about animals which God created before humans and could have been working with them for maybe millions of years. If that is the case then there is difinetely a lot of species that maybe we don't or may never know about.

Answer 5

"Lucy" was not a human, have you even seen the skeleton?
"Lucy" was a chimpanzee. The evolutionists who put her together used knee bones from a dig over 50 feet away and added them to the chimp skeleton in order to somehow justify straightening her legs enough to make her stature seem to be less chimp-like. Their justification for using the bones from a completely different site...they said they were anatomically similar.

And Atheists call Christians ignorant and gullible?!

Don't listen to us...listen to the professionals in the field...

"Anatomist Charles Oxnard believes australopithecines were not structurally related to humans and many species were living at the same time as humans. The late Glynn Isaac of Harvard University said, "the australopithecines are rapidly sinking back to the status of particularly specialized apes…" Even the famous Richard Leakey said there is no good evidence she (Lucy) is a missing link."...

"The paper by Stern and Sussman also mentions that the hands and feet of Australopithecus afarensis are not at all like human hands and feet; rather, they have the long curved fingers and toes typical of arboreal primates."

"British anatomist, Solly Lord Zuckerman has concluded (based on specimens aged much younger than Lucy) that australopithecines do not belong in the family of man. He wrote "I myself remain totally unpersuaded."

If you still want to believe in the evolutionary establishment that would peddle this farce to children and "adult" students world wide...then I just feel sorry for the generations to come.

Answer 6

Yes, I do believe Eve was the first woman created by God. I also believe she was human. This is how I see it...just because Eve's bones weren't found doesn't mean she didn't exist. In fact, I believe that's all the more reason to believe she did. Her bones may have deteriorated back to dust since she was the very first woman and that was so long ago. The possibilities are endless.

Answer 7

God created foodstuff. He gaves us meals grown interior the floor. AKA nuts, culmination, greens. And the sole reason human beings do use their microwave to nuke foodstuff is because of the fact it somewhat is low priced, user-friendly and speedy. i do no longer be attentive to in case you have observed yet human beings are so lazy, it somewhat is disgusting. So formerly you circulate and bash on God, why do no longer you recognize that plant life are organic and God created them for existence to consume and that without that, human beings might have not survived very long formerly they started eating animals and storing them, then prepackaging.

Answer 8

"lucy" was not actually her name, and "lucy" was not even a human being.

to be more specific, "lucy" was an australopithecus afarensis - an early type of hominid. hominids include not only humans, but all great ape species, whether they are extinct or alive today. australopithecus isn't even of the same genus as h. sapiens. "lucy" is millions of years away from being anything near human.

Answer 9

your trying to mix fact and religion they don't mix. the Adam and eve story is only a parable and is not supposed to be fact.(only in the christian version of the old testament do they claim as fact). remember the old testament was written as a story book for children of the first century Diaspora Jews of Alexandria Egypt and is not supposed to fact

Answer 10

ummm Lucy is a fossil. Lucy is one fossil out of possible millions not found yet. Eve is a character in the mythology of Ancient Jews. Only Idiots actually think she really existed.
