environment of the waters and the Earth is evolution described (Gen 1:20, 21, 24).
Everything that has ever and however happened is God’s Creation (Gen 1:1, 45:8,
Psalm 100:3), this does not negate the ‘how’ (Gen 1:2). It is merely that the ‘how’
is sub-ordinate to the ‘why’ (Gen 1:1, Mat 8:27, Mark 4:41, Luke 8:25). The early
humans together formed the early part of the generic Adam (Gen 1:27-28, 5:2),
which is all Mankind (Gen 5:2), they evolved (Gen 1:26, 27, 5:1-2) and are a sub-
set of Man in the Universe as defined by the Word (Gen 1:1, 1:26), and after his
evolution the species was subject to the ongoing test of avoiding the Law and
embracing salvation about which the Garden of Eden episode is a parable (Gen
2:17, Rom 10:3-4). The point is that the ‘how’, evolution, is not an answer to the
‘who’ or ‘why’ which is God (Psalm 100:3).

Creation is ongoing as the emergence of born-again Christians is called a creation
(Psalm 102:18, Isaiah 65:17-18). This Creation process is both present and future
and culminates in the second Heaven and Earth which is both, as a mystery,
present and future simultaneously (Isaiah 65:17). New creatures are produced in
this ongoing creation by evolution (Psalm 104:30).

A parabolical man was ‘made’ by God that did not evolve, made as male only and
needing the breath of life upon him (Gen 2:7, 21) and from his rib a parabolical
woman (Gen 2:21) was made by God which also did not evolve, Eve (Gen 2:21).
This individual Adam is a parable or allegory, spiritually true as a symbol or
message but not a literal fact (Gen 5:1-2, Psalm 78:1-2). Adam's parabolical fall is
a parable giving the spiritual explanation for the state of the early humans, the
generic Adam (Gen 1:27, 5:2, 6:1-3) as well as for later people. This is that all,
unsaved, men remained unchanged (Gen 6:1-3, Rom 3:10. 20, 1 Cor 15:50) under
the Law. By this Law Man was and is given every opportunity to be perfect by his
own strength and failed (Rom 8:20, 10:3). In other words the evolved hominids
wanted/want to be God i.e. under the Law (Gen 3:5, Rom 2:12-15, 3:10, 20, 4:15).

The Genesis story of Adam and Eve is not to be taken as literally true in fact but as
literally true in spirit as a symbol or message, that is it is a parable (Psalm 78:1-2,
Ezek 20:49). Firstly, we can see this as Adam is referred to as a Man but also as
all people, that is all people are Adam and this is not the same thing as simply
saying all people are descended from Adam (Gen 5:2). Adam is everybody (Gen
5:2). Secondly, we see that in fact Man was made male and female, that is evolved
as two sexes (Gen 5:2) whilst in the parable the parabolical Adam was made first
(1 Tim 2:13) and male only and alone (Gen 2:18-20), but in any case the real
Adam is all people male and female (Gen 5:2).
