Science, Creation & EvolutionBig Bang Beats Bible?Let me see if I understand. You believe that creatures lived and died before man because death was not brought into the world by sin, and you believe that death is not a result of sin because creatures lived and died before man. Sounds circular to me. I believe that there was no death before sin because I believe that the Bible teaches that the penalty of sin is death, therefore death is a result of sin (as crazy as that may sound, non-christian). Man was created as the corporal head of creation (hence the command to subdue and rule over it), and when he sinned, he condemned all of nature with him. Nature would not have had death in it before sin because at the end of the sixth day of creation God proclaimed everything that He had made as "good." Well, at least we agree on that! Of course, from your perspective, I have to wonder - when did man become man? Was the Neanderthal considered a man? If so, did they ever sin? Were they the ones responsible for bringing death into the world? Was it some earlier form of man? Well, for one thing, it wasn't a tree of eternal life. It was a tree of knowledge of good and evil. Second, God put it there so Adam and Eve would have to make a choice to obey God. If there were no possibility of committing evil, then God may as well just have created robots. But God wanted people to choose to love and obey Him. That's good because this has long been an argument against the Genesis account. "God said they would die, but they didn't - infact Adam lived for 900+ years!" What people fail to realize is that the moment Adam and Eve sinned, they did die spiritually, and the process of physical death began to take place in their bodies so that eventually they would die physically. |
