"Hopefully he will see that science backs up scripture on the moral issues of our day."

Problem is, evolution teaches eons of suffering and death before man, a recent arrival, ever showed up. The Bible says there was no death until man brought it about, and man was created at the beginning (confirmed twice by Jesus in the NT).

Neither backs up the other; in fact, they are completely contradictory.

There is nothing in the bible that I read that claims nothing ever died prior to the Fall. What are you reading?

It depends on what you mean by death. This is the way my scripture professor explained it; the meaning of death is separation from God not cessation of biological functions. That’s why Adam and Eve died when they ate from the tree even though they weren’t physically dead. That’s why those who believe in Christ never die no matter how their earthly existance ends.
