You CAN Believe in Adam & Eve AND Evolution!

Here is my "Fusion" view on Adam and Evolution:

1:) God began the process of evolution and natural selection 3.5 billion years ago on earth.

2:) Anatomically-modern humans first evolved about 200,000 years ago in Africa.

3:) Around 15,000 years ago, in Iraq, God decides to make a special Garden Paradise, and He chooses to instantaneously create new animals and new human beings to populate this Garden, as part of Grand Test, which came about after a heavenly war between God and one of His top angels, Lucifer, who became Satan ("the Serpent").

4:) Inside the Garden of Eden, everything is a perfect, peaceful utopia, with no animal death, no violence, all animals are herbivores.

5:) God creates Adam instantaneously out of dust and later creates Eve from a transplanted rib from Adam.

6:) Meanwhile, outside of the Garden, evolution and natural selection of animals and humans, along with death, disease, decay, violence, the food chain, continues as it always has.

7:) Naturally-evolved humans were already living for thousands of years before Adam, and that is why Adam's son, Cain, is afraid that these people will kill him, and that is how Cain found a woman to be his wife, even though Adam had no daughters yet. It also explains how Cain and his wife were able to move to a city that had already been built.

8:) It is possible that Genesis 6 is describing Adam's descendants (through Seth) having sex with, and marrying, the naturally-evolved women, and this causing much evil in God's eyes, with people abandoning God.

9:) In any case, if Noah's Flood was worldwide, then that means God killed off all naturally-evolved humans, and only Adam's line remains today. If Noah's Flood was NOT worldwide, then people today derive from both Adam's line and the naturally-evolved humans.

10:) See, there is no reason to abandon science or a literal Adam, in order to be a Christian.
