no such reconciliation is possible if one adheres to the literal truth of a special creation.
One thing we agree on - there is no reconcilation between evolution and Christianity. If men evolved, they were not created by the God of the Bible (or at least the Bible is flawed). Jesus said, “But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.” (Mark 10:6). The book of Genesis teaches that death is the result of Adam’s sin (Genesis 3:19; Romans 5:12, 8:18–22) and that all of God’s creation was “very good” upon its completion (Genesis 1:31). So if death came as a result of sin, and there were millions of years of death before man had a chance to sin, how could that be?
