Maybe those two are related? Abel offers up blood, Cain offers up plants, and god selects blood. So Cain kills Abel and god is like "well, you shouldn't have killed your brother but, damn... BLOOD. I'll give you this one. I'm both upset and impressed."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
