Evidence for God from Science

OK... let's see how Genesis uses this type of language just one chapter later to see if Genesis 3:20 is really claiming that Eve was the genetic progenitor of all humans. In Genesis 4:20 Jabal is referred to as the "father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock". Does this mean th...

1. The first thing that happens in this passage is that the Lord forms man/mankind from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7) I've highlighted the assumption you made, above. The text of Ge 2:7 has God forming "...[the] man from the dust of the ground...", not mankind as you say. The diffe...

So what does the Bible say about this?I believe that the Bible says that God created mankind in his image on "day 6" in Genesis 1, and then at some point after "day 7" he took a specific man Adam and placed him in the Garden in Genesis 2:8. The Bible says nothing about God takin...

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living . (Gen 3:20) Yes, Adam and Eve were the direct ancestors of all living people (as far as Genesis is concerned, anyway). OK... let's see how Genesis uses this type of language just one chapter later to see if Genesis 3:20...

1. Were Adam and Eve the progenitors of all human beings? What does the Bible say about this? Ge 1:27, and read all of Genesis, chapter 2. Genesis 1:27 tells us that that God created mankind in His image on Day 6. The "adam" of Genesis 1 is small 'a' adam denoting mankind in general. When...

The historicity of Adam is definitely an interesting subject, but that is not the issue I am struggling with in the OP. I am convinced that Adam was a historical person who lived in 5000 to 6000 BC in Mesopotamia. It is the implications of the when (5000 to 6000 BC) that is causing me to reevaluate ...

Off the top of my head I can think of three reasons why I do believe the Genesis narrative concerning Adam and Eve.
1. Jesus believed it. (Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10:2-9)
2. Paul believed it. (Romans 5:12-19, 1 Corinthians 15:20-23,42-49)
3. Luke believed it. (Luke 3:23-38)

As for Adam and Eve, I might add Conclusion 5 to Dave's post - i.e., the story is allegorical or is symbolic of a spiritual event. My personal take on "Conclusion 5" is that Adam and Eve were historical people who existed in Mesopotamia somewhere around 5000 to 6000 BC. My belief in the h...

Hi Dave, You just reminded me of another question I'd like to add to your post. If Noah's flood was around 2400 BC, this would imply that the human population would have to double every 100 years or so for the world to end up with about 7 billion people of today. This assumes Noah and his family we...

First post by a new poster. Quick bit of background. I am a progressive creationist who has been a fan of Hugh Ross for years. I also find myself going to and recommending GodandScience.org on a regular basis. I'm pretty much in sync with Ross on time and cosmology, but I've always struggled a bit w...
