The evolutions of life from the ingredients were always going evolve into the image set at the foundation by the cause. The elements all following the rules, the laws of physics, as we all know the elements must. The very fact that we regard it as the law speaks volumes. The structure of the universe now showing purpose! What then the purpose of life? If a mere flower can display such an array of talent? What of that ''Created in his image.'' This brings me to Adam. First I would say to the religious won't movers who insist that the Christian Bible is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Yes! The Bible is the word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit but there is faith, and there is the obvious. There is the Gospel and there are interpretations, only the spirit can lead us to all truth. [Take a look at what else you advocate] Dogmatic insistence of absolutes of what, how and when only serve to drive a skeptical world away from the spiritual truth. Religious doctrine starting from medieval origins heaped onto the Gospel over centuries has left Christianity shrouded, the true teaching lost in theology, rituals and rules of worship. The sheer number of denominations the evidence, the dwindling congregations of all but the spirit lead Churches the result. The decline, from the beginning of the twentieth century to the end and into the twenty-first reflected in a more secular society. Common belief of the secular considers religion an ill, the cause of wars, and is all about do's and don'ts and condemnation. The truth of the Gospel is of receiving the gifts and fruits of the spirit in life. Before Christianity was called so, it was simply called The Way. I do not need to tell the enlightened what the gifts of the spirit are or refer to the thousands of promises of God in the scriptures, I say to those who don't know, you are missing out. ''I have given you a spirit not of fear but power, love and a sound mind.'' Those who walk in the spirit and in the knowledge of the promises do not suffer from the psychological problems of self. That delusion is put into perspective and becomes less overwhelming ''And the truth shall set you free''
God given intelligence has enabled mankind to discover many workings of Mother Nature and the evidence shows that Humanity and our plant has been around for millions of years. The story of Adam and Eve to the secular mind does not fit, but again it is a spiritual truth and as the self delusion (or delusion of self) of the Godless disregard all things of the spirit they just don't get it. Adam was the first Spiritually Enlightened creature who was brought into the presence and purposes of God. (The first Christ) The first to achieve the zenith of evolution! Christ consciousness! A revelation of Gods will and also the power of God! (As displayed by Yeshua) Eden was created by God in Adam. The human beings of today are his descendants and of his gene pool, Gods children were born. Genetic research shows there is more genetic variation in a single troop of apes than in the whole of the human race. We are all from one genetic source, a small family tribe. In terms of the universal time scales the modern human has appeared over night or indeed on the sixth day. The fact we do not have the total capacity of Adam as to the divinity of the whole being is that the rest comes in the spiritual. The human being is at the height of mental evolution in regard intelligence and has been for thousands of years. The knowledge and the things we have today, we cannot take credit for as it is built on things discovered before us by our equally cleaver forebears. Take away all the technology and accumulated knowledge, what have you got? The source of our intelligence is of divine origin through Adam. The next step in our evolution must be, and is, spiritual and in consciousness of a transcendental nature.
