epicpokenerd! :

"if what the Bible states about this is true..."

I really dislike this argument against evolution. The bible says things all the time that are not historical or scientifically accurate The sun doesn't actually "set" (Ecc. 1:5), God does not have wings (Ps. 17:8), and the sea does not have doors (Job 38:7). 

Does this mean the bible has errors? No! The bible isn't to teach us about science! The bible teaches us about God and his purpose for his children(past, present, and future).

To make the bible into something it's not is adding to the scriptures.

The same way the two of every animal in Noah's ark repopulated their entire species. And how Noah, his wife and their sons repopulated the human race.

We have talked about this at church before. From what I understand Adam and Eve were not the only people on Earth. They were of God's chosen people and of course that group later became the Jewish people. In Christ's time Jesus talks about Jews and Gentiles. Well the Gentiles would have been all of the people on Earth that were not originally God's chosen people.

I know that might seem crazy and contrary to popular belief, but if you read the Bible from start to finish you will see references to that periodically and it actually makes sense. From the impression I get and many I know get in the New Testament many people specifically the Pharisees believe that only Jewish people can go to heaven and really follow God. That's why many of them get mad at Jesus for spending time with Gentiles and healing them and teaching them. Jesus came for all not just one group and he had to die horribly to save them all.

That's just what I have learned, but anyone who really is curious should just open up there Bible and really dig into it.

magimangr : Except you will have trouble with Genesis 3 when it is affirmed that Eve is the mother of all living. Not to mention the fact that during that time, there were no different categories like Jews and Gentiles. Remember, before the Tower of Babel, everyone was able to speak in the same language. It was from that incident when we start to see that different languages and different tribes come up, but all of that was after Adam and Eve. Also remember that, there are recordings as to where some of these "gentiles" come from. There are some mentioning of different gentiles in the Bible that link back to Adam and Eve.

Simple answer it did cause problems it's just not written in the bible, That's at-least in part why there was the flood GOD tried again with a more diverse gene pool.

inbreeding doesn't always cause detrimental mutation just look at the old school royals.

The story of evolution also has the same problem since there was probably a small stock of .... ? single celled organism ? In the beginning of life

GOD Bless just a couple of thoughts on the mater

legacyme3 : Except the missing link isn't a step between us and monkeys. Monkeys didn't evolve into something that evolved into humans. Common ancestor means that there was one creature first. That creature spread to different locations, and adapted to those different locations. One group slowly developed into what we call monkeys, apes, etc, and the other slowly developed into our current humans. But monkeys are just as evolved as humans. They just evolved differently. But we didn't evolve from monkeys or apes. Humans, monkeys, and apes all evolved differently from a common creature, which was not a monkey.

maguc : I find it a little disappointing that people have been proving lines of reasoning and support to you to answer this question here in this thread, yet in another thread, you continued to call this a discrepancy while not even participating in the conversation here. Are you really interested in knowing the answer? In seeking truth?

play4fun : Of course I want to know the truth. However, there is a tiny problem. In this whole thread, people that say they could and could not, both make very good points. This is a very good argument/debate thing going on here, and both sides are winning. From one side, someone makes an argument saying they could have, however someone else comes and disproves that argument, and it just keeps on going.

Now, to participate in my thread, I just want to say one thing.
People get evolution wrong. We did not evolve from apes and monkeys. We evolved from a species similar to monkeys, just like wolfs and dogs evolved from a similar species, but they have differences.
Inbreeding causes problems, which mostly cause death or serious health problems. If Adam and Eve were the only humans, than would it not mean that the entire human population would have died out between the first couple of generations.

I myself say that Adam and Eve could have not populated the entire world, however people are posting stuff that makes me think otherwise, which is why I don't want to meddle to much until I figure something out.

When ever this has come up in Sunday school the answer was that they  were not the only people on the planet at the time.

I think we also have to take into consideration who the Bible was written for and when it was written. I still believe even though Chapter 3 says what is does that there were more people on Earth than just Adam and Eve.

Of course there is now a belief by many Christians that Genesis was actually a parable and didn't exactly happen like that. The books of Job and Revelation also fit into this category. I can honestly say that would make the Bible a lot easier to understand and follow. Considering the bulk of confusion for Christians is either with Genesis or Revelation that would explain some things. Remember according to what the Bible says Moses wrote Genesis. It was God inspired of course, but no one who wrote that book actually lived through that time and neither did the person who wrote Revelation.

The only thing I can say with certainty though and this is really through the whole Bible. God loves us and we are big sinners.

deg2000 : Thing is, if hey did have children, they would have to have children with their children. If they do, the offspring will be deformed or have failures and would have little to none chance to live, or they would live in pain. Imagine those poor kids with deformities, that's how the children would come out as.

Hi, I am a Christian, so I will try to answer this the best way I can

The Bible tells us that Adam lived to be over 900 years old Keep in mind back in that time diseases had not started. So it is possible that living to be 900 that he could have fathered several children and their children had kids and so on. Eve lived a long time too so she had, lots of kids, and so on. So in a 900 year time frame, several generations could have sprung up. However, the Bible tells us that man became so evil that God destroyed them by a global flood of epic proportions. Archaeologists have found fossils on top of mountains so they had to get up there somehow. Noah is then left having to start all over again.

So To sum it up, Adam and Eve with their long lives had several kids and their kids had kids and so on and so on. Now, living to be 900 unless God wanted someone around that long would be impossible in today's time due to all the diseases that are out there

The answer you seek is found in the book of Genesis, it explains it more than I could. Jesus saves

Honestly I think God has a plan for everything.. somebody in a earlier post said that God may not of realized how important this issue was but I disagree.. God knows that this question was going to strike many minds he just decided to not incorporate it into the bible for reasons we will probably never know. I myself have problems trying to answer this question. I am sure God planned it all out the way it happened for a reason and a good reason at that. God might of even put more people on the earth at the time, we might not even know about it. We may never know the full answer to this question until we confront God about it ourselves after we die~
