Hey my bf asked a question some time ago. He was wondering if the story of Adam's creation is symbolic. He reasoned the following:

1. Humans looked very different in the past.
2. If the dust from earth construction is symbolic, is it possible for God to evolve protohumans over time?

I said, manaboleh.jpg. It had to be a specific creation. The Bible states it very clear that Man is an image of God. Apes and proto apes are not. Also the breath is important because it means we're the only creation with the direct Spirit from God.

Then he asked about the Neathendals and Cro Magnons. Those are considered separate from Homo Sapiens a.k.a modern man. And I said, those could be a different race and not a different species. Like how an Asian look very different compared to a Mat Salleh and an African.

And one may never know if the "protohuman" is actually human, or an early species of apes. Well for evolutionists there is no distinction, so don't think they'll consider it that critical of a question.

Oh by the way the earliest humans remains were found in... Greece! Not Africa anymore. That news completely changed the migration theory paths.

How does the Bible explain these findings? By saying Adam and Eve are just symbols of human tribes is a problem in itself. It's not consistent with the rest of the story.

Oh ya hor. You're right, there's Noah too.

The genetic diversity from God's original creation had split off into all shapes, colours, and sizes today. Yet we're not alien from each other.
