The Bible says that one man brought sin and death into this world; Evolution says that death brought man into the world. In evolution, Adam would have developed from the deaths of millenia of dead ancestors. It creates a real problem for those who want to say that God used evolution to create Adam and Eve!

Google "Y-Chromosome Adam" and "Mitochondrial Eve."

"It creates a real problem for those who want to say that God used evolution to create Adam and Eve!"

Indeed it does: for your interpretation of Scripture. Clearly, then -- since evolution is about as widely accepted among scientists as anything -- your interpretation is most likely be wrong.

It always boggles my mind that some Christians can readily accept some stories as symbols but other stories must be taken literally.

When Scripture says Jesus is sitting at God's right hand, must that be literally interpreted too? Must we accept that God is a physical entity in the clouds with two arms and has Jesus physically sitting next to him for all eternity?
