I have a question and I would love for someone to try and answer it for me. If the religion says humans came from Adam and eve but science says humans came from monkey's or (evolution) how can I belive in both?
Great question! To answer it, I suggest that you watch Jamie Jensen's BYU Devotional Address "Faith and Science: Symbiotic Pathways to Truth" - specifically, start watching at 14:37 (czcams.com/video/hAYO4hXJl6Q/video.html) when Dr. Jensen talks about "The God of the Gaps". Scientific evidence supports the conclusion that humans evolved from primate ancestors - so how do we reconcile that with a Biblical narrative that humans originated with Adam and Eve? Well, is it possible that the Adam and Eve story is a "God of the Gaps" story - a metaphorical narrative meant to answer the question "Where did humans come from?" before we had evolutionary evidence to answer that question. What do you think?
While Jamie Jensen comes from a Christian faith background, the principles in this video apply beyond Christianity. How you reconcile evidence for evolution with your religious beliefs depends a lot on the specifics of your religion and its faith traditions.
My only query with this school of thought is when did humans receive a soul? If other creatures have a soul what happens to them when they die, are they judged? Did FUCA and LUCA have a soul?
Naively, it seems so, but no, at least not for religions with the concept of a soul. Cardinal Pell's approach to evolution of the soul exposes the conundrum. Did Neanderthals have souls? Lucy? Our common ancestor with the chimp? Dog? First mammal? first vertebrate? Amoebas? There was no first human.
So there is no evidence for the existence of God? Except that there is a universe that we can observe. Nothing comes from nothing norhing ever could." just ask Maria
Animals that have genes that help them in life live and reproduce, passing on their good genetics. Animals that have bad genes die and don't reproduce. That simple.
' Evolution ' is Incorporated into God's creation. It's not difficult to understand, if we - true Christians - ask God for discernment in separating the ' enticing ' lies of this world from the pure knowledge that comes from Him.
If you're able to ' break down ' or understand the real science of how animals and human beings were created or formed; that we are made of ' clay ' is a basic but very correct description of how we came to be.
@@j.a.martir6438 yeah no. Especially if u say the first human has no parents 🤷 stop forcing it. I can say we made out of water too, since 90 percent of our body is water🤦
@@edwardtimothy3581 God allows you and everyone else, to believe in Him to whatever degree you choose. I believe in an all powerful God without limits. At least till now, I have that right in America. But I know that, that may change rather soon.
Agreed. Science can help explain God's work and Creation.
True. It is contradict certain religion, but we shouldn't limit How God work to certain religion
This is a great video! Thanks for making this.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful/useful :)
@@YouTooBio I do research on, write about, and co-host a podcast on science and religion (www.downthewormhole.com). I’d love to chat more.
Cool! Thanks for the link - I'll check out your podcast! Email me at jayme@youtoobio.com and we can chat more :)

I knew I'd love this video bfr I even clicked play. *Mad that I can't click the thumbs up button more than once*
Does this apply also to other gods or only the christian god? And other religious documents or only the bible?

There are many mysteries concerning the things of God and the Bible. And obviously Cardinal Pell wasn't that, ' illuminated ' himself.
@@j.a.martir6438You can't simply disregard a theory without providing a better alternative.
Me too
Hello
So there is no evidence for the existence of God? Except that there is a universe that we can observe. Nothing comes from nothing norhing ever could." just ask Maria
I used to accept evolution. But not as much anymore. A lot of it just doesn't make sense. There seems to be so much more going on.
Animals that have genes that help them in life live and reproduce, passing on their good genetics. Animals that have bad genes die and don't reproduce. That simple.
Evolution is mutation and mutation happens.
' Evolution ' is Incorporated into God's creation. It's not difficult to understand, if we - true Christians - ask God for discernment in separating the ' enticing ' lies of this world from the pure knowledge that comes from Him.
Yeah no 😂 evolution didn't contradict God. But it is contradict certain religion that claim there is a first Human CREATED by clay

@@j.a.martir6438 never said i don't believe in God.
@@edwardtimothy3581 I implied that you believe in God in a different ' degree ' than, myself.
Nonsense.
I'd pay attention in biology if I were you
No
