>>>>>About evolution, an engineer from MIT, Dr. Wal Brown, made the following observation: "If evolution happened, then death was widespread before man appeared. But if death preceded man and was NOT a result of Adam's sin, then sin is a fiction. If sin is a fiction then we have no need of a Savior."
>>>>
>>>>A bit of muddled thinking there - surely the only thing you can deduce from death preceding man is that the assumption that death was a result of Adam's sin was wrong, there's nothing in the statement that can lead to the assumption that sin must be a fiction.
>>>
>>>Then Apostle Paul was wrong when he stated that "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men,.." Romans 5:11-13 OR "For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man." 1 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 and the claim that he wrote by inspiration of the Holy Spirit is also false. So, if death existed before Adam, the first man, then Adam's sin in the Garden did not introduce death into the world and the belief that sin caused death is false.
>>
>>That doesn't mean that Adam didn't introduce sin into the world, just that the introduction of sin didn't cause death. Hence sin is not necessarily a fiction.

Jerry;

In the Air Force we had multiple choice questions, A-E. This is definitely what we called E. Option. That is, “All of the above”!
