Quote:DeistPaladin mentioned something that I'd never really thought of before concerning Christianity and evolution.
Essentially, evolution means that there was no Adam & Eve, which means there was no fall, which means there was no need for Jesus.
I'm just wondering how Christian "evolutionists" explain their faith in light of this. What was the point of Jesus if there was no fall? Or, if there was a fall, when (and why) did it happen?
Christians who accept evolution as the best theory to understand how the world was created. Live on a slippery slop. What you argue here is the slippery slope fallacy, remove creation you have no sin entering the world, have no sin you have no Jesus, Have no Jesus you have no Christianity.
But what if you are looking at it wrong?
What if the battle between 'good' and 'evil' is bigger than over a piece of fruit? I mean the whole story is full of holes, theologically and morally speaking, the woman is blamed, not both them (just to name one). Anyways what if the controversy was bigger? This is what I believe happens when rejecting Genesis 1 and 2 as being literal, only makes the controversy bigger. Sure we dont know how it all started, but should we expect something so complicated written in a book written by primitive people?
