So I guess we are to believe that Adam and Eve had a kid (or two or three or whatever). Then those kids had kids? So we are all inbred and not completely retarded?

You're right, my opinion has nothing to do with the fact that we know, medically, that isn't possible.

Yep. Not a hard concept. Even science admits that people eventually change as they're regionalized somewhere. Look at the Asians that came over to America (eventually Native Americans). Different, but same. Africa's burner is stuck on high. I know you'll want to make an arguement of it somehow (or already have one set-up), but the "all from one seed" makes a shit-load more sense than "all from seeds of different races." Especially since most refer back to the same one in question.

So, that is the genealogy from Jesus to Adam? Does it skip some generations or is that everyone, father to son?

Looks like a pretty concrete list. So, I'm assuming this verse supports the 6,000 year old Earth idea.

If that is the case, shouldn't all Christians support the 6,000 year old Earth idea? Is there any wiggle room in there for say at least another 5,000 years?

How about just 6,000 year old human history? Does scripture allow for a big gap in time from the creation of the Earth to the history of man?

I was under the assumption (and I'm pretty sure Brain_Mach1 said something to this effect) that the majority of Christians don't support the 6,000 year old Earth idea.

How can you interpret that to mean no species evolves into another" "Beasts of the earth" can mean an elephant, horse, whale,eagle, etc. and those are all different species. "Bring forth living creatures after thier kind" can anything from humans to squids, obviously different species. Cattle are the only specific animal named.

You say it is vague, yet it its focus isn't on describing every detail of biology (even though it is dead on), rather its aim is to tell the story of man's fall into sin and God's redemptive plan for His people through the sacrifice He would provide for them in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What did man originally call the Triceretops? Or the Tyranasaurus Rex? If I was the person that god told to name those two I would have come up with something really flashy and/or descriptive.




Believe it or not, humans didn't evolve, God created them in His own image and breathed life into Adam's nostrils. You can have your ever-changing scientific theories, I can rest on the sure Word of God.

Fossil records go back farther than the word of gawd. And while interpretation of either can be difficult, one is set in stone and one is not. No pun intended. ;)

Seriously though, evolution happens and that is all that there is to it. Take the giraffe for instance. The trees that the giraffe eats have gotten taller over millions of years because giraffes have been eating them for as long. What happened to the giraffes? They got taller. Even if god started us one way, then we have surely evolved from it by leaps and bounds. After all, we have had at least a million and a half years to do so.

African pygmies for instance have become very small to suite their living environment, as have little people in a few other parts of the world. The Sherpas have increased lung capacity. These are all evolved traits.

ClockwrkOrangeS4, your question wasn’t ever specific, so your answer was not specific.

Half of the world’s 2 billion Christians are Catholic, so if any Protestant groups have similar beliefs to the Catholics, we have a majority.

The Catholic Church teaches that there is a first man named Adam and a first woman named Eve and they are the parents of the human race. The Church Fathers had differing opinions on what 7 days meant. Even back in the 3rd and 4th century, Christians argued that it did not mean 7 24-hour periods and that the earth was not necessarily 4,000 years old (at that time). Most Protestant groups do not agree with the Church Fathers because they contridict a lot of Protestant beliefs.

The Catholic Church does not specify that Adam and Eve were the first humanoid creatures, just the first fully human. This means that humans could have evolved and the first beings with a soul (fully human) were Adam and Eve. This being all of God's plan for creation.

Catholicism does not teach 6,000 year old earth or 7 day creation as litteral so ½ of the Christian world population is not taught this. Yet Atheists believe this is the norm for Christianity. This is because of media attention for the strick creationists. It makes more interesting news.

As for the comment of the Big Bang, Georges Lemaître, a Belgian Roman Catholic priest had a lot to do with the theory.

Ok, so according Catholicism, scripture does not confine the age of the Earth to about 6,000 years old. How about the age of humans (with souls)? Are there gaps in the scriptural genealogies that would allow humans to be around for more than 6,000 years?

The fully human part of your post is interesting. What kind of behavior would you expect from a human without a soul? Hunter and gather stuff, use of tools, cave writing, villages, or full civilizations. Does this allow for unsouled humans to mate with souled humans?

http://www.carm.org/questions/sex_incest.htm

No, incest is not okay. Incest is the sexual relations between family members either by birth or marriage. God has forbidden this in the Bible.

* Lev. 20:11-12, "If there is a man who lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 12 ‘If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them."
* Lev. 20:19-21, "You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has made naked his blood relative; they shall bear their guilt. 20 ‘If there is a man who lies with his uncle’s wife he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they shall bear their sin. They shall die childless. 21 ‘If there is a man who takes his brother’s wife, it is abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless."

But some may point out that Adam and Eve had children and since there were no other people around, their children would have had to commit incest in order to produce more children. At the time of creation, the genetic line was pure. It wasn't until later, at the time of Moses, that incest was then forbidden as the genetic pool became less and less able to stand interbreeding. "‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD," (Lev. 18:6).

No, incest is not okay. Incest is the sexual relations between family members either by birth or marriage. God has forbidden this in the Bible.

* Lev. 20:11-12, "If there is a man who lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 12 ‘If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them."
* Lev. 20:19-21, "You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has made naked his blood relative; they shall bear their guilt. 20 ‘If there is a man who lies with his uncle’s wife he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they shall bear their sin. They shall die childless. 21 ‘If there is a man who takes his brother’s wife, it is abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless."

But some may point out that Adam and Eve had children and since there were no other people around, their children would have had to commit incest in order to produce more children. At the time of creation, the genetic line was pure. It wasn't until later, at the time of Moses, that incest was then forbidden as the genetic pool became less and less able to stand interbreeding. "‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD," (Lev. 18:6).

That doesn't contradict itself at all.

Cool, I figured the Jews had something worked out.

What does a pure genetic pool mean? What kind of genetic impurities do you think arose that would have an affect on interbreeding?
