I thought you accepted evolution, just not abiogenesis.
And please, show us your 'monkey-man' sketches beforehand. I haven't seen soulless humanoid brutes since my last drive to Shreveport. It's been too long!
Here's the thing... I've never claimed One or the other. I simply knew what the bible says, and I know what science said. Even if the number's/years science posts are way off, the fossil record is not fully accounted for scripturaly. and like wise there are several paradoxes one could ask from the standard reading of Genesis. That I took issue with.
I simply looked for a way to reconcile both without changing either narrative's stories in any way. Then I was shown away to make it all jive. all it took was questioning the traditional reading, but not changing what was read, just the understanding.
Meaning if you grew up in the church and absolutly needed a way to consolidate every word of Genesis with an unmolested evolutionary model then here is a way to do both. Oh, and by the way it also clears up 1/2 dozen popular 'paradoxes' from the biblical perspective, and can completely assimilate anything 'science adds or takes away' from evolution...
That is what I believe. Not that had to happened one way or the other. If you went back to some of the stuff I wrote before God showed me this, I always use to say I am not smart enough to say one way or another. Maybe both are right maybe neither.
Now.. If you need both to be right then here.. Here is a minimal allowance that will allow for both faith in God and faith in 'garbage science.' or rather the science of prehistoric "garbage" to work.
Monkey man will look and dress like man with a soul.
That's the point.
God made Adam to reflect what evolved man would look like at the time of the fall. The only difference is his soul.
Didn't make adam stronger, better looking or nessarily smarter. Look at all evolved man was able to do in the historical and fossil records. look at the cities and civilizations before 6000BC.
Monkey man or man evolved from primates (only use monkey man to get YOUR goat) IS in fact man. While Adam was created on the 3day Monkey man was created on the 6th day. Monkey man was made in God image/would ultimately look like God, but Adam the first man received a soul/breath of life From God. So not only did Adam look like 'man'/image of God He was also given a soul, that the 6th day man/monkey or woman was not recorded to have.
In the cartoon I was thinking, just marking Adam's people with a little star or light in the middle, but in all other aspects from the outside they would be the same.
Wow. I knew your brain had turned to mush but I never guessed exactly how far down you had gone.
