1 | Did sin bring death into the world? | Rom 5:12 | Mr. Mel | 200310 | ||
Thanks, Doc The reason for my exclusion of Genesis 1 and 2 is that I am trying to come up with an unarguable text from Scripture in response to a book I've recently read promoting theistic evolution as a way of making peace with the theory of evolution. I have thought through many of the Biblical, or Creationist answers to why evolution is wrong, and have been able to come up with perfectly logical explanations/arguments for every one of them (from a theistic evolutionist's point of view), except this one: If scripture states clearly that sin brought physical death to the whole world (not just mankind, but animals, too), then evolution necessarily stands in conflict with scripture. The reason for excluding Genesis 1 and 2, is that, as you probably know, theistic evolutionists view this portion of the bible as poetic allegory, not historical fact. The verses you cited, are my favorites, but I'm not sure that they are conclusive. Yes, through one man, sin entered the world and death through sin. But was that physical (not spiritual) death (I believe Romans 5:13 allow us to conclude that it was physical death), and was that physical death to all living creatures, or just to mankind? I guess, I'm looking for answers about Eden, the Fall and the Curse, without using Genesis! Was there no death in the world before the Fall? Would Adam and Eve and their descendants have lived eternally with God, if they hadn't sinned? How about the animals? Did lions not eat lambs, or did hawks not eat rabbits before the Fall? Was there no cancer nor deadly disease? If death of animal life came through the fall, then I have my unarguable case, that macro-evolution of any variety (secular or theistic) is wrong. I am firm in my stand, that Genesis 1 and 2 are literal, historical accounts, but I am trying to come up with an open and shut case for those who may be in doubt. |

I am trying to resolve the question of whether sin brought physical death into the world (including animals) as opposed to just mankind. Unfortunately, this must be done without the use of Genesis 1 or Genesis 2. Any help you could give will be greatly appreciated. Mr. Mel |
