How is it that the Bible is so controversial? The recent series on the History Channel, “The Bible,” has sparked many water cooler and media conversations on various aspects of the Scriptures. One of them has important implications: Were Adam and Eve real people?
I’m not a scientist, and I don’t play one on TV. But I believe they were. Why? Because I believe Jesus was who He said He was – God’s only begotten Son, and clearly He believed they were real. I believe Jesus was the Son of God because historically He rose from the dead.
Jesus quotes from Genesis 1 and 2 (chapters with Adam and Eve) as the Word of God.
In short, the Bible’s argument is: No sin of Adam, no need for Jesus. But hasn’t science proven there was no Adam?...
