Originally posted by mr.smileyI've read some of the same thing. In some of the theories evolution and creation can go together somewhat, but not as the myth goes with Adam and Eve. I think many people feel this is more a metaphor for something bigger.
I think a better question would be the evolution of creation.Their are many enteresting stories of the universes creation out their and some even kind of merge together.
Something to the effect that Adam and Eve were spirit forms that were parts of god and wanted to feel solidness of life, but in taking from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil they would not be able to go back to change their minds. They are now physical beings and knowing the harshness of tilling soil and struggles which comes from being fully human. In tasting the fruit they forfeit the Tree of Life, which is what they were, living in spirit forms timelessly. It is also thought that this could be the Male/Female or Yin/Yang concept coming into being.
