Death before Eden?

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi folks,
As a scientist, I am often faced with data from geology and anthropology
which claims that there were animals on the earth that lived and died
hundreds of thousands of years ago. Yet the Bible seems to say that Eden
existed approximately six thousand years ago. The question I ponder is -
was there death before Eden, or did death come into the world only as a
result of Adam's sin? How can we reconcile the fossil record, if we believe
it, with what the Bible says in Genesis.
I have some ideas - would you like to share yours :-)
