The Bible Without Adam & Eve

The scientific facts supporting evolution are overwhelming. Proponents of intelligent design tend to distort/misunderstand the facts, and make reference to rumors which have long ago been debunked in an attempt to refute the evidence. This is understandable when you consider that, should evolution become accepted as fact, the consequences to the religious community will be nothing short of devastating. Darwin's On the Origin of Species threatens the very fabric of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.Why?

If humans evolved over time, then—strictly speaking—there was no "first" man and woman. Adam & Eve didn't exist.

Without Adam and Eve, there could be no "fall of man".

If there was no original sin, there was no curse on the human race.

Without the curse, we have no need of redemption.

No need for a "savior".

If we don't need a savior, Jesus as the Messiah is a complete fabrication.

Jesus could not have been born of a virgin and there was no resurrection.

No "second coming". No battle of Armageddon.

The biblical prophets are reduced to philosophers.

If mankind "evolved" over thousands of years, the "God" of the Bible cannot exist.

If creationist's wish to properly debunk the theory of evolution, they must become more educated and avail themselves of the full spectrum of research available on this issue. It is not enough to say "faith" is all the matters. Lack of research creates fools who lack credibility, which is of great importance in drawing others to their faith. Those who lack credibility gain few followers and the number of adherents will slowly decline. Ultimately, this is a death sentence to any religion espousing the creationist point of view.

I call upon those who are educating others on the creationist perspective to 1) dig a little deeper through the mountains of research, 2) read The Origin of Species (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) and other scientific works on evolution, such as The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins, and 3) look more closely at your arguments to ensure they are not based on old rumors and data that is not factual. Careful & unbiased study is the only way to provide the "proof" an intelligent thinker requires.
