Evolution and the Woman

"For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man."

(1 Corinthians 11:8-9)

In spite of the overwhelming scientific evidence against evolution, "Christian evolutionists" still argue (or, at least, allow) that evolution could be God's method of creation.

Such a fence-straddling position is logically untenable,  and gravely dangerous spiritually. There are numerous biblical and theological reasons why evolution, under any guise, must be unequivocally repudiated by Bible-believing Christians, and one of the most obvious is the unique biblical account of the formation of the body of the first woman. By no stretch of the imagination or device of spiritualizing exposition can this account be harmonized with the assumed evolution of human beings from some earlier group of hominids.

God "formed man of the dust of the ground" (Genesis 2:7). Many theistic evolutionists have asserted that this phrase could be applied to the long process of evolution, as imagined by modern paleoanthropologists. This, of course, is fantasy, not exegesis. But whatever argument might be made for this strange interpretation, there is simply no way at all for the record of Eve's subsequent formation out of Adam's side (Genesis 2:21-22) to be so interpreted. All they can do with this passage is ignore it, trying to pass it by with some comment about woman being close to man's heart or something of that sort. It is not only clearly spelled out in Genesis, but is confirmed by the apostle Paul, both here and in 1 Timothy 2:13. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself quoted from the Genesis account of the creation of man and woman (Matthew 19:4-6) as literal history. Both man and woman are special creations of God, with no evolutionary connection whatsoever to any kind of animal ancestry. HMM

P. S. Can evolution explain why there is a male and female in every type animal without exception? No! Think about it. A Creator with intelligent design is the only possible answer. Do not allow yourselves to be deceived and mislead by the numerous unbelieving deceivers.
