[[Evolution is absolutely incompatible with our Christian faith.]]
Absolutely it is- The bible states that there was no ‘spirit death’ before the fall (While there was cell death- ie grass being trampled underfoot)- in order for evolution to be true, there would have had to certainly be spirit death as species died while ‘evolving’ into monkeys and then eventually into Adam and Eve
Bob434: "Absolutely it is- The bible states that there was no ‘spirit death’ before the fall (While there was cell death- ie grass being trampled underfoot)- in order for evolution to be true, there would have had to certainly be spirit death as species died while ‘evolving’..."
What an astonishing claim -- "no spirit death" -- before the Fall, I've never seen it before and hope it's true.
That's because it means the Bible itself recognizes a difference between creatures with no spirit and those with spirit.
And those with spirit can include only one species -- spiritual descendants of Adam.
So at the time of the Fall the world's population of fully human spiritual beings was exactly two: Adam & Eve and neither died until after the Fall.
So, in this understanding, the Bible is true & accurate even if, based on evolution, we didn't expect it to be!
It's good news and I hope you're right about it.
