I believe in the scientific explantion on the evolution of man because it provides acuurate details and explanation on how Man came into being.

The Christian point of view is base on beliefs, no true facts recorded and besides fossils of the early Man are still being dug out by archaeologist.

Ask youself this one question, what is the proof that Adam was indeed the 1st man on earth?.


Oh ye of no faith,like somebdy stated earlier,y hasn't man 'evolved' to "something else"?...I think when you are finally able to answer that question you would understand that when God says something,He means it!!!

If you dont believe bible's position on the origin of man, then you cant believe anything. Bible's position is in similitude to the holy koran's position. What paleontologists posited to be the origin of life could have been also true because the bible also mention some men who are giant, some are also the sons of men different from the offspring of Adam. The bible is the sole arbiter of the origin of life. wink

No! Why? Because if Adam was d first man we would have the same DNA,ur genealogy is trace only by DNA and its unique to each family tree line even if it is 10,000 old.

The Big question is " How did Man come into existence"?. The many religions we have today and those of the old gods possesses different beliefs on how Man came into being.

As a Christian, i learnt through the bible how Man came into life and I don't have to share it because I believe everyone knows that including non Christians because am not here to quote the Bible as am not that religious.

The generally known belief on how man came into the world is best explained through academia which states the evolution of man proposes that humans and apes derive from an apelike ancestor that lived on earth a few million years ago. The theory states that man, through a combination of environmental and genetic factors, emerged as a species to produce the variety of ethnicities seen today, while modern apes evolved on a separate evolutionary
pathway.

My BIG question is, which should we believe and if Truly Adam came 1st from God, how then did he populate the world to what it is right now?.



You should not say man originated from apes. If it is so, evolution should have taken another pace by now. The Bible is clear and straightforward enough for you to understand, it contains all rules for man to live and even be successful with clear examples from the past. Man (Adam) was created in the image of God and therefore should not be likened unto apes (Gen 1:27). We should know that there are things that goes beyond mere scientific theories made by men like you and I . Do not doubt the fact that Adam is the first man because you are doubting God's word.

I believe Adam was the first prophet and first jew/"moslem" but definitely not the first man.
This is ur own belief. As a christian, I stand where the word of God stands of Adam being the first man created by God.

also if men had started from apes,today's population would've been 10 times higher because of the time span
I wonder how men who came from these primates would look like. As far as I know, I am created in the image of God and never evolved from any animal.

D story abt d Morite n Amorites....D two women slept wit dere father for them to take in n God is nt a man dat u can question....Dat generation continued

there was no first man or woman.
If I understand you well, is it that there was no first man or woman according to the 'word of God' or according to 'science'?
Re: Was Adam Truly The First Man On Earth? by Barnabaseloka(m): 2:49pm On Jun 28, 2015
PAGAN9JA:



it was not one ape. there were groups of ape like ceatures. so in all probability.. there was no first human, but first HUMANS.
There is no probability in God's word. It is very prercise. God created Adam as the first man and Eve as the first woman. From both of them, all humans come into existence. Science cannot explain the number of people that evolved from these primates but gives speculations and assumptions.

Ask youself this one question, what is the proof that Adam was indeed the 1st man on earth?.

The theory of Evolution is based on the idea of natural selection where organisms acquire or develop traits that makes them more suitable for their environments thus evolving into better or even newer species.

EVOLUTIONARY THEORY IS WRONG.

1. Why have africans not evolved into species with shiny or reflective skins to reflect heat??.
2. Why are eskimos furless, when they should have evolved into species with hair to keep them warm in their environment?.

3. For how long did fish make the transition from fins to limbs, and gills to lungs in evolving into without decimating their population?.

4. How did plants and bees survive during their different evolutionary phases when they didnt have each other for their symbiotic relationship?

5. what exactly is the proof that the theory of evolution is true?

The truth is that its all based on assumptions. Thats science for you.

The Bible's account of creation is very true.

Adam and Eve, according to the creation myths of the Abrahamic religions, were the first man and woman. Belief that God created human beings to live in a paradise on earth. In the Book of Genesis, the Genesis creation narrative tells of the creation of the first humans, humankind, in Genesis as male and female. According to the Documentary hypothesis of the Genesis creation narrative, there are two stories that derive from original independent sources.

1. theory of men.
2.its a myth. Olodumare came before adam. prove me wrong.
3.Evolution is a gradual process. takes place over a span of 1000s of years . imho the evolution of different races and racial features is itself a sign of evolution among humans.
4.biblocal busllshyt .stories. never happened.
Yes the bible might contain bullshit stories but I believe them. Science cannot give accurate account of how humans begin existing in the world. They lay claims to natural selection and evolution to substantiate its theories. But the bibilical truth is very simple and precise, no assumptions, no change, no natural selection or evolution in the creation of man by God. It has remained unedited, and unchanged since the beginning of the world and will always remain so, no matter the scientific discoveries.

It takes millions of years for an evolutionary process to take place. U will live n die without witnessing it.

Every living thing evolves.
Will there be a difference b/w the humans that will evolve from primates in time to come and the humans that give birth to humans presently? The word of God is quite plain and simple on Adam being the first man created by God.

Bible creation theory is crap!

Every human evolved from previous animals on earth as stated by Darwin.

One thing you bible believers don't know is that human or homo sapiens are not the only human species that ever lived.

Humans have up to 4 different species!
Homo sapiens sapiens are the only surviving species left.

One of the most popular human species that died off was Neanderthals that dominated Europe while the current Homo sapiens sapiens dominated Africa.

There's one in Asia too.
Yes, we believers in God talk crap. I wonder how humans will have different species in some places. Which was/were the first organism/s that started evolving into another and how did it/they come into existence? Mind you, God created everything in the world in six days, even that organism that started evolving into another as science claims. God is Omnipotent!

God created Eve and gave her to Adam so that they can reproduce, multiply on earth and subdue the earth. This is very straight-forward, no complications, no assumptions, no specu'ations, no modifications, unlike science and its theories.

That bible sef who wrote it? I'm a christian who has stopped reading d bible cos that book is very contradictory n full of errors.
My dear, I do not know what to say to you. There were secretaries in the time of old that recorded these scriptures you read in the bible. The Holy Spirit helped the early scholars to compile all these scriptures into one book called 'the bible'. If the Holy Spirit does not help any christian, he cannot understand ANY part of the scriptures. Rather, they will seem foolish to him b/c they are only SPIRITUALLY discerned. If God does not help a man to understand the bible, it will surely look foolish to such a person. God made it to be so in that no one will follow God through human wisdom, theories or science.
Christians walk by FAITH with God and not by SIGHT (science or theories).
