Topic | Wait.... where does it say in the Bible that life can't evolve? |

None are apparent in a straight reading of Genesis. So even as an allegory it's hard to argue that Genesis doesn't contradict evolution, at least implicitly by the omission of such a metaphor. Pretty sure evolution as a concept would require either a fossil record or for them to track the differences of animals over time, so the fact that ancient man didn't observe the changes then record it in the Bible (or, alternatively, "it wasn't significant enough for mention") doesn't make the omission significant. Further, there are a lot of scientific phenomena not listed in the Bible which people might have encountered. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard! |
