:Interesting take on theory of Evolution.
i don't see what it has to do with the ToE?
plus, if adam and eve had evolved, then what about the fall of man from perfection and populating the earth with their offspring?
Adam and Eve WERE NEOLITHIC FARMERS!

Neolithic LITERALLY means "New Stone Age". You're looking at the end of the pleistocene.. archaic homo sapian.. something like 100,000 years ago. I'll bust out the anthropology books for a more detailed explanation, if you want... Im an anthropology major in college, though I specialized in Applied Cultural Anthro, we all had to learn physical anthro and archaeology.. It's ironic that this got brought up.. In archaeology we learned of the "Eve" hypothesis that these two australiopithicenes, thus far known to be the earliest bi-peds, could be Adam and Eve, since all we have are the footprints of a male and a female walking side-by-side and a bunch of happy furry animals running under foot before everything was covered by volcanic eruption.. but Mary Leeky isn't exactly known for NOT being a few fruit loops short...

Farming is a relatively new phenomenom. Grazing and hunting were first in the chain. Farming requires an inordinate amount of effort and time and peace to develop. Grazing from North to South as the winters came and food became more scarce...etc.

Even worse, there are some indigenous cultures that have maintained a hunter-gatherer mode of life (e.g. the Xhosa, the Australian aborigenes). I don't think you want to claim that those who were given a soul were Neolithic farmers, unless you also wanted to believe that the aborigenes (who were living in Australia long before agriculture was invented) and other groups today lack souls. That would smack of the kinds of views the colonizers had in their day.

I guess I'm still at a loss. How else would A&E survive if they didn't harvest food? Personally, I don't believe in the Bible's A&E...I'm pretty sure it was a story passed down and maybe the originator of the story took it out of some fact--maybe there was a couple with those names that some ancient tribe thought were the first people on earth. But I don't have any facts so I'm not going to say it came out of any truth.
I guess I just don't see how them (A&E) being farmers makes any difference. Again badboy. where did you hear this? -

Okay. So it's not anything scientific.
Anything with "evangelical" in the title I usually disregard. -

The idea is that GOD chose some people in the NEAR EAST and gave them a soul.
