Oh I see...the evolution I was talking about and that was referenced in scripture was the evolution of man, through Christ, into a new, spiritual creation.

Still don't see it.

I see you found the other thread already, so we can continue there if you like.

No thanks. Things can get really ugly and vicious on those Religion threads.

I can add commentary if that will help.

1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

In the verse about, we're breaking into Paul's explanation of a resurrection to a spiritual state. He says we start with a natural body and is resurrected a spiritual body.

1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

He's comparing Adam, the first man created, to Jesus Christ (the last Adam).

1Co 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

We can evolve, through Christ, from a natural man to a child of God if we obey God.
