Comment What about Romans 5:12 ??? (Score 1) 2345
Obviously, if you believe the Bible, you cannot believe in Evolution. The two are complete opposites.
To quote Ken Ham and Dr Jonathan Sarfati's article "Why Is There Death and Suffering": "Belief in evolution and/or millions of years of history necessitates that death has been a part of history since life first appeared on this planet. If you believe that the fossil layers (containing billions of dead things) represent the history of life over millions of years, it's a very ugly record--full of death, disease and suffering." http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/qa.asp
Clearly the Bible teaches:
"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned" http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans %205&version=31
This, and many other similar passages, are not those kind of passages where we can wonder if it should or should not be taken literally. This is one of the very strong themes throughout the entire Bible and is meant to be taken literally. If we do not take this literally, then there is absolutely no point in the Gospel or God's redemptive plan.
