there would be no Adam & Eve. There then would be no sin.Since there would be no sin, there would be no need for a redeemer.I don't beleive there is any reconciling between the Bible(Gods'Holy Word)and evolution.

"change into something different (i.e. a new species)" is specifically macro-evolution, though the term "evolution" is commonly used to indicate such a change.Originally posted by jdcanady:

You said, "Evolve" simply means "to change."
Is that how Darwin and current scientists view "evolve"? I always thought "evolve" meant to "change into something different (i.e. a new species)". My hair is getting quite gray. I am changing, therefore am I evolving? I just thought I was getting old. Maybe I am changing from a human being into an old geezer.
You are incorrect. Evolution [macro] is an atheistic philosophy, denies the Biblical revelation, and, therefore, denies the existence of Adam and Eve.Originally posted by Magnetic Poles:
Denying something and being silent on something are two very different things.
Evolution has nothing to say about God or the Bible either.Originally posted by OldRegular:

Gravity could also be considered an atheistic philosophy since it is independent of the existence or non-existence of God and the truth or non-truth of the Bible.Originally posted by OldRegular:

If evolution is true, then since we are mammals we should be like other mammals... the largest male gets the females of his choice until a younger and/or bigger males physically defeats him and asssumes that position for himself. But come to think of it, our evolution (supposing it happened) led to greater cooperation and sharing of different skills, by which we survived and advanced, and our fighting then is done on a much larger scale with armies and weapons and the goal of capturing territory and subjugating people. So maybe David was an outgrowth of the big male of evolution by showing his prowess (by defeating another 'big male' who always got his way), getting fighters behind him, capturing a city, and assuming exclusive rights to the females of his choice.

8. Are evolution and "survival of the fittest" the same thing?
Evolution and "survival of the fittest" are not the same thing. Evolution refers to the cumulative changes in a population or species through time. "Survival of the fittest" is a popular term that refers to the process of natural selection, a mechanism that drives evolutionary change. Natural selection works by giving individuals who are better adapted to a given set of environmental conditions an advantage over those that are not as well adapted. Survival of the fittest usually makes one think of the biggest, strongest, or smartest individuals being the winners, but in a biological sense, evolutionary fitness refers to the ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment. Popular interpretations of "survival of the fittest" typically ignore the importance of both reproduction and cooperation. To survive but not pass on one's genes to the next generation is to be biologically unfit. And many organisms are the "fittest" because they cooperate with other organisms, rather than competing with them.

That would be macro-evolution. We all evolve as we get older. We evolve from being young to being old. Been there (am there!) done that. Old age is not for wimps!Originally posted by jdcanady:
