Was there death before the Fall? Well, we know that for mankind there wasn't death before the Fall. What about other animals? I reckon that we are special, which is why there was no death for us. Animals? It's only logical that they died. Look at fossils. They were alive and now they're not LOOOOONG before the Fall happened.

Can someone tell me how evolution is yet to be proved? By us mutating into X-Men? Doesn't work like that. I had a big problem accepting evolution until I understood what it was actually about. I don't think it could have happened at all without God, but I can see how it happens today and has happened over the last few million years. OK, so one brand-new life form has evolved in the last 200 years only, and that was a hybrid grass. But look at bacteria. Whole new species can evolve in a lab in mere years. Without humans tinkering with the genome. It's adaption. I think that God did give us evolution so we could adapt to the world that we created (which is different to the world God created for us, because we've messed it up a fair bit). I think that is a gift of love. He could have made us static and unable to cope outside of Eden. No, my God loves the world so much that He ensured we'd survive until at least His Son arrived, and allowing evolution seems to me like the best way.

BTW, I'm often curious about how far back time-wise I could go and still be viable with another "human". I wonder if I went back to the time of Noah whether I would be able to have children with the people then, or if we've changed (evolved) too much. Which means that either we're not human or they weren't, which is a whole 'nother exciting thing to consider!
