"1 This is the written account of Adam's line.
When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them "man. [a] "
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth."
Now you can argue that this is a one-lineage account of Adam, while I an argue that the statement "When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female and blessed them," meant that God 'created' man/female in various areas of the world through an evolutionary trend. The statement made "in the likeness of God" could mean the Holy Spirit blessed a chosen man and woman, Adam and Eve, to generate the chosen tribe of God. This spiritual, biblical awareness separated man from the "filler" tribes. These tribes were relegated to common animalistic traits and actions. Cain, a runaway murderer ended up marrying a female and produced rampant carnality and destruction.
Obviously this is all conjecture, but wouldn't it be nice if both sides of the creation argument could just relax their guard a tad and maybe would could get all philosphies and theories discussed in public classrooms? I know which one would when out.
"which one would when out"
oops. "win out." JC all the way.
Yup, you COULD say this, but you'd be hard pressed to back it up from SCRIPTURE.
