The Bible proves evolution...?

Question

Do you remember the snake in the Garden of Eden? God cursed him, and told him that he would crawl on his belly for the rest of his days and eat the dust of the earth; the implication is that he already had legs. Thus evolution of a lizard into a snake is demonstrated. Pretty neat huh?

you can't tell just from looking at a fossil! Besides, it's an allegory!

Answer 1

The Enuma Elish, an Akkadian account of Creation which predates the Bible by millenia has a more scientific version of the Eden incident. The Bible however spells out the correct order of life forms as they appeared on Earth, correct from the standpoint of Evolution. That the birds came first before the dinosaurs (taninim) has been proven by the fossil of Archeopterxy found in Germany. It was a bird which scientists say came directly fom the seas.

Answer 2

Well, if we must bring up things like this - we don't know if it was a snake. The bible actually names it a "serpent". In hebrew - nachash - "a hissing creature". Most probably a snake. Used 30 times in the OT to describe a snake - who knows.
Take a look at snakes. They still carry the remnants of legs. In males, they are called claspers. However, no where in the fossil record have they found any kind of "snake" that ever had legs. No evolution there!

Answer 3

Although it seems that you are joking, I will answer to you.

The serpent was the constellation of angels and men of the time that incited the "woman" the celestial congregation and first earthly believers to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil before eating from the tree of wisdom "Jesus".

In Revelations you can find the answer where it is said that many are dressed in white clothes "saved angels and saved men", dressed as the Bride of the Lamb.

To understand Genesis you must understand Revelations, because it is a repetition of what happened in Genesis before and after physical creation of Man.

This is not the first time this cycle comes around, and we are still listening to our arrogance instead of eating of the tree of life "of wisdom - Jesus's humbleness", that is the reason why there are structures on Earth that are older than 11 thousand years old.

Answer 4

Nah. Jesus Himself said 'But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.' (Mk 10:6)

Jesus never intimated there was a gap in the creation record; He never said 'but from the beginning of mankind', or 'a very long time after the beginning of the creation'. As a matter of fact, belief in a form of evolution was in vogue approx 350BC. It was debated by various Greek philosophers, chiefly through the anti-deist Stoics and the pro-deist Platonists. Jesus, knowing these things were already in the realms of human inquiry, would, if evolution and long ages were true, have used this as a way to bring people to understand the story of Genesis as an allegory. That He didn't, is ample evidence that Christians shouldn't follow the Just-So stories of the evolutionists (who actually start with the presuppositions "There is no god: therefore the cosmos has a natural origin: therefore it must have evolved: therefore there should be 'trails' pointing to evolution"), but accept the word of the Lord god Almighty in both Testaments, both of which affirm special creation over a literal six-day time frame.

Think on this: if evolution and long ages were true, then there was death through disease, ald age, starvation, predation, natural disasters and 'evolutionary dead ends' from the very beginning; hardly the 'very good' God used to describe His creation during the Creation period. Likewise, if all the above were true, then telling Adam that he would die were he to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowldege of good and evil, would have meant nothing to Adam. He would have said: "my parents and grandparents all the way back to the beginning of our memories are dead, so that's no big deal: I going to die anyway."

No, Adam had to have a brain capable of understanding the very real consequences of disobeying God.

Stop attempting to fit the narrative of the Bible into the theories of very fallible men.

Answer 5

Who's to say that only mammals evolved into walking, talking creatures? Maybe reptiles did,too. Lots of statues of 2 legged intelligent lizards and no, I'm not talking about the geico lizard. Although he did visit me earlier this week on my window screen. lol Lots of paintings of them,too. Many of them were called gods. Like Quetzalcoatl of South America, a feathered serpent.

Answer 6

Evolution is based on random mutation and natural selection not an angry God taking away an animal's legs.

Answer 7

"The sins of the father will be passed down four generations." Don't you think it's funny that people born with the alcoholism gene have the same side effects as building a tolerance to alcohol??? Science calls it random mutations,.. yet nothing is random in science.


Love comes from the soul. For if love came from a hormone, then it would come from with-in like adrenaline.

People think that people imagine the feeling of love. That it’s a trick of the brain.

Yet, love comes from where the people touch you, not from with-in like a hormone. If love were up to the perception of the user, then how come no matter what mood you are in,.. you still feel love. If you hate the person loving you, you may feel grossed out to love,.. but still feel the love. If love were up to the imagination of the user, then you could trick people into thinking inanimate objects are people hugging them.


Yet love is an external energy that has side effects in the loved.
Now from what is seen here, we see that the soul has an energy that is independent of matter,.. but has side effects in matter. Hence the brain is specifically designed to react to the spiritual energies we emit.



Now what do you say about the people who have felt God’s love? Being in God’s presence charges the soul and body. It’s called the renewing of the Holy Spirit. And this residual effect goes away when people travel down old thought patterns that contradict the perfection that is God.

Answer 8

Sorry, my friend -- that does not support the evolution theory. Thank you for trying to support what's stated in the scriptures, but God most likely altered the serpent instantaneously ..... miraculously. You said it all when you wrote, "God cursed him...", & it was most likely done so that Satan would never want to "possess" the creature again.

Answer 9

There are more problems than that though,like the fact that snakes don't possess the genes for language,don't eat the dust of the earth etc.You may like this one though:I said in my heart, “Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals.” 19 For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity. 20 * all is vanity to think you are not like an animal"the beast"*

Answer 10

Interesting concept, but the snake was cursed; which means he didn't evolve, going from walking to slithering was punishment.


God bless you.
