re: #44 LudwigVanQuixote

I absolutely agree with that. Do you really think that I am anti-evolution? Or do you think that somehow the tow views are incompatible?

You do realize that being descended from a common ancestor, who was the first human, means that there was a literal generic Adam (as in father to us all) and a literal genetic Eve (as in mother to us all) right? We’ll leave the fact that they need not have been the first couple to the cognoscenti.

This is one case where the science and the faith link up perfectly and teach the same lesson.

Except science has never suggested they were a couple. Although I don’t have it handy, my memory tells me Adam was more recent than Eve by several millennia. Science also tells us the human population at the time of each was much larger than just a few.
