Amen! It also contradicts scripture which tells us that death itself did not exist before the fall. That is why I cannot understand people who call themselves Christian and still adhere to evolution.
If I believed that nonsense about evolution, I’d through my Bible away and worship myself.
There is only a contradiction if you believe that the "death" referred to is a cessation of bodily function. Throughout the Bible, "death" is used to refer to spiritual death and separation from God -- Jesus' promise of eternal life is not one of never-ending bodily life on Earth.
