How does the story of Adam and Eve compatible with science?

Apostle John

“Go ahead, look up Revelation 6”
Humans didn't do it as they evolve on their own. If we want to be selective with mating them, then we can speed up the process.
Those experiments always showed the fruit flies devolving into useless organisms. After many decades of human cruelty experimentation on them they never once evolved.

No, you keep claiming that, and somewhat perversely. I believe in God’s Word.
As soon as you regard the creation story in the bible to be a literal account, you call your god a liar. It either lied in the bible or it lied in the clear evidence left in the world that says that the Earth and the universe are old and evolution happened.

Christians only believe the ToE because it has been taught in schools the past 50+ years and taught as if it were fact when it is full of lies, inconsistencies and back-engineering. It has been a form of brainwashing. Mutations is the only fact.
Oh, the irony. It's actually creationist sites and sources that are clearly full of lies. While people like you make unsupported assertions and then run away from backing them up and from every bit of substantive evidence that is provided to you, like you're terrified of the truth.

Again, you made this up, and I can tell you that you have just invented another falsehood. The fruit fly experiments are a long-term study at Wayne State University and they don't result in your fabricated nonsense above.
Instead of constant point blank rebuttal provide evidence.

Your ‘clear evidence’ is the lie.

Complete unadulterated nonsense as you simply invent falsehoods to try and support your erroneous assumptions. Maybe actually study theology instead of just spouting off nonsense.
Tell me from a theological perspective what I said is wrong.

Now you are just being totally hypocritical, as I have repeatedly asked you to provide a post to support one of your claims, and you have virtually ignored my requests. Since you simply resort to such disingenuous hypocrisy, we're done.

Then show it to be so. Anybody can just say something is a lie.

If it's a lie, it should be very easy to debunk, so why is it that all you can do is ignore it or just say it's a lie?

You should also consider which side of this debate has a vested interest. On the one side we have respected scientists, who hold many different faith and non-faith positions, and on the other, we have a tiny fanatical, extremist cult of bible literalists. Go figure.

It’s a difficult lie to breakdown because it’s predominantly been driven by egotistical, God hating men and women who are free to lie, fabricate evidence and backfit data, ignoring data that doesn’t fit the theory. It has been spread like a false religion. Their vested interest is fame amongst their peers and elsewhere. Some even write books for financial gain. The few that may be truthful but not capable of weighing up evidence accurately have been swept up in this convincing lie.

Those that speak out, the tiny few on the creationist side quickly get shouted down, ridiculed, called cranks because the other side haughtily think they have facts and have it all sewn up when they don’t.

In my Intro to Anthro course, some students would bring in some Bible tracts from fundamentalist sources, so then I would go through and point out the many errors usually found within them. After a short while, it became sortofa joke, and students would go out and hunt for them.

What I found and most of them found disgusting is the amount of utter dishonesty with so many of these sources and doing so in the name of "Jesus"! So, what I had to do was to explain that the Bible and the ToE are not incompatible and that most Christian theologians do accept both.

Why don’t you come out of anonymity so anyone can fact check what you say.

Starting out with an obvious falsehood doesn't really help your cause. Many of the people who have and do work on evolutionary theory are believers, probably more than the atheists.

...who are free to lie, fabricate evidence and backfit data, ignoring data that doesn’t fit the theory. It has been spread like a false religion.
Vacuous rant. Where is the evidence? I've provided you with links to real evidence for evolution and you've ignored them or just called them false. I've also answered the questions you've asked in my own word, and you've ignored those answers too. Now you're just throwing more vague and unsupported accusations around, without any basis or detail.

It's really not a good look for you.

The hypocrisy is staggering. All you've done on here is totally ignore all the references and substantive points and answers given to you and accused everybody who doesn't agree with your unsupported assertions of lying. Now you want to hold other people up to a higher standard. We're already working to a higher standard than you simply by providing proper references and answers to your questions.
