Origin of Human Being

I believe i n the bible but I do not believe the story about Adam and Eve . I also do not believe we were first ape/monkey . I believe in a greater power than human being , if their was none what would be the purpose of life . Even though I am a christian I dont support ever thing in the bible because its has a lot of contradiction . I dont believe in every rubbish that scientist claim either . Nice post

Science is the right one. There is so much physical evidence that we can see and test, and it can go along with changes that we find. If we found anything that denies the majority of what we've already learned, it would completely destroy the concept of evolution, but nothing along those lines has ever been discovered. If we predict something, and it turns out to be wrong, we are willing to take a step back and change it to be more suitable. Religion is not. Religion refuses to change, and religion has loads and loads of errors and mistakes to it. Believe in science. If you don't believe something, then do the testing yourself to prove it wrong. If you can prove that, then you will be very highly regarded in science. On the other hand, don't believe any single thing the bible says, and people will hate you for it, and cut you off. Which do you think sounds better?

What about the theory that "God" was a spaceman? Looking and doing godlike things to our uncivilized understanding? This is not my belief, just adding another gogg in the discussion.

The bible gives no date or even in reality a rough timing for the creation of man. I don't know where you get the number 10000 from. If you take all the genealogies quoted in the bible and guessimate from that you will come up with a number a little over six thousand. There are problems with that reckoning though. Namely it can be proven from the bible that the writers deliberately skipped generations for their own purposes. That isn't to bad mouth the bible. It's just that they were showing a line of decent and exact details of the line were not the point of the exercise. If you examine those lines of decent there are 22 generations before one point in history then another 22 generation till another major point in history and finally another 22 generation to Messiah. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Acrostic poetry based on that alphabet run all through the old testament. That is not a coincidence. Another consideration is that the entire creation story is told in a very symbolic poetic story form. I'm not saying it's inaccurate but our understanding of it could be. Before throwing out the idea of a creator consider this. Science has proven genetically that every human on earth is descended from one woman. It also has proven that we all also have a common male ancestor. Whether they existed at the same time in the same place is beyond science. That does leave the door open to the existence of Adam and Eve.

No,it is much less.I don't know what Bible means by years,but if it is the year consisting of 12 months each of 30 days,then certainly the claim is wrong.Even the origin of the Hindu civilization of India dates back to more than 7 or 8 thousand years ago.Going by the Puranas,the birth of Lord ShriRam is eight lack years back.It is now difficult to say when the first human came to the earth.

I belive in God so the bible is true...you cant compare God with sience..we all should belive in Bible.That is my opinion.All of us have difderent oppinions.

First of all the bible in Genesis talks about the re-creation of the earth. It was without form and void. Why because in Isaiah 14:12-15 shows us about Satan who had been known as Lucifer rebelling against his Father and Creator and causing a war in the heavens. It was a terrible battle, involving all the created angels and the sons of God whom Satan is one of them. Job 1:1 Also in Genesis 6:1 talks about the sons of God ( spiritual beings ) left their natural state and took daughters of men, physical women and there were giants due the progeny they produced. God did not want this and forbade it but they rebelled. These spiritual created sons of God,were punished and put in Tarshish where Christ himself preached at them later. Okay the earth is very old older than 6,000 or 7,000 years. Satan who was Lucifer was on the earth for awhile he was given earth to prepare it. But as he created this on the earth he became jealous of God his father's plan to create human's that were to eventually qualify to be sons of God as well. Deut 34:12 the increase of God's government will have no end. Satan did not want to share this he wanted to overthrow his creator and father' throne. He had made some sort of humanioid creatures and he also created dinosaurs that would not be in keeping with what God wanted. One third of the angels God created sided with Satan. Satan lost the war and was cast down to the earth. How long the earth was without form and void after this war is not known, it could have been decades, centuries, millenia or more. But eventually God once again had a plan, Earth was restored. Genisis 1:1 says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. It does not say how long it was before he finally began to make it friendly for human habitation. Genisis 1:3 is when God began creating things for man's habitation. God continued through the next 7 days to create things for mankind and in vs 28 he tells the man and woman be frutiful, multiply and replentish the earth. re·plen·ish a Verb:means Fill (something) up again. Restore (a stock or supply of something) to the former level or condition. The earth before God created it for human kind had been inhabited before by Lucifer and his creation and much of it displeased God. Satan then once again lied to the woman and Adam (was with her) he knew the consequences. Adam and Eve did die in the day they ate of the tree of good and evil. Only it was not the physical 24 hour day of man God had for humanity but the 1000 year day of God. 2Pe 3:8 - But be not ye ignorant - Whatever they are. Of this one thing - Which casts much light on the point in hand. That one day is with the Lord as a thousand year. We are nearing the end of God's week. We are in about the end of the sixth millinal day and the next 1000th period is going to be a millineal rest, Christ returns to the earth to set up his kingdom. He is not going to take us all to heaven. Mat 5:5 - Happy are the meek - They that hold all their passions and affections evenly balanced. They shall inherit the earth - They shall have all things really necessary for life and godliness. They shall enjoy whatever portion God hath given them here, and shall hereafter possess the new earth. Right now God has given mankind free choice. He gave us all a manuel to follow called a Bible he has set laws for our good but many choose the world, mammon or sit on a fence trying to balance good and bad. So yes the earth is much older than humanity and human life on the earth it was occupied before humanity. The earth was Lucifer's he was cast back down to the earth until the time of redemption and restoration and Christ qualifed to take Satan's place. Satan knows his days are numbered and things will get worse until Christ comes to restore all things.

The choice that you offer us is between knowledge and myth. While myth is important it is limited to individual culture. The Bible serves up one creation myth but there are hundreds of others. None of them are factual. For more than half of the people living on this planet the Bible is nothing more than a rather quant collection of old folklore and myth.

I think that there may have been people before the origin that the bible describes. Do you remember in Genesis that there was a city where Cain met his wife after slaying Able? I think there are many years between some of the verses too. I wonder sometimes if at that time and in that book if there wasn't a separation of sorts. You know that in the Old Testament that God had chosen people. It was much later when the gentiles were allowed grace.

hi.....u r right bible is true so thus science.......both have facts that lure u to somewhere where u feel its true....but u know both are written by human.....so if want to believe in any of them just believe......cause u r believe is matter....

i suspect you will recieve many replies supporting each theory. I personally believe in science and have no time in believing in a book that has no credibility. I suggest you follow your heart. if you feel better believing in the bible than that is the right choice for you. For me religion has caused so much destruction over the years i have no time for it but i fully understand that it has also brought happiness to many. Good luck in your discussion.

I still believe in God
