evolution
I personally have no idea how god made the earth and how people got here. It certainly didn't happen in 6 days nor did it begin 6000 years ago. There are a lot of bones that indicate that life has been here for millions of years. Evolution seems to make the most sense, but it might be something else. I don't know. Do I mind that I might have origins as an ape? No. Natural man is pretty animal like anyway. I have a divine soul, perhaps man evolved to the point where a divine soul could exist. I don't know.
Genesis, I believe tells us a very deeply symbolic story, a story of me, of you, of everyone. Of my creation, my fall and how that fall can be overturned. I don't really how care about another Adam, Adam is me, Eve is me, the whole story is about me and you and everyone.
I think the important issue in Genesis is not what it says, but what it means.
Regards,
Brian
