That is something I had not thought of before. Very interesting and I wonder how many christians who believe in evolution have considered that.
"To be-- for this he created all. Death was not God's doing, he takes no pleasure in the extinction of the living. It was the devil's envy that brought death into the world." (Ws.1:12-15, 2:24)
>> If death was around before Adam sinned then death did not enter with sin. Thus we do not need Christ to ever come death.
Far be it from me to defend evolution (as I am not sure I completely buy it myself, I simply admit that it is a possibility). I’m no scientist or theologian. But, I think you made a theological leap there.
It seems to me that “evolutionary death” preceding the first human would be the death of animals prior to their “evolution” into sentient humans. The sin of the first sentient human (Adam) brought death on mankind from its inception — but I don’t see why the death of non-humans prior to the first man would be contrary to Biblical teachings in that respect.
In addition, God would certainly forsee the sin of Adam — and thus could’ve built the death of man into the “laws of nature”. Bit of a predestination paradox — chicken or egg? Did God created human death upon Adam sinning, or did He predetermine human death knowing that Adam would sin? Either way, it would seem to fit with death being the wages of sin (Romans).
>> God said it is good when he created. Evolution needs death decay and destruction to work. Where is the good in that.
Sometimes “good” can come from that which appears bad, like death. For instance, we often derive good from the death of animals (through the consumption of meat). Why would it be intrinsically “not good” to derive evolutionary benefit from the death of animals?
>> My God is very big, he created the very laws of nature we live with. he could if he so pleases, and will someday change them again.
Perhaps He will. Perhaps not. Perhaps the laws of Nature’s God have already built-in all that He needs.
