So lets check what the text says!


Does the Bible say that God created the first cell?
.....not that I can find.


The word "cell" is not really all that clear in my version of the Bible, does anyone find it listed in theirs?



So what does the Bible say about the origin of man?


And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,

the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken

So the teaching of Genesis is that man's origin is from the earth itself....that we are a part of the earth that has come to life.



Now is this answer any different than where animals come from?

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature


Ah, so now we see that all the animals share the same place of origin with man.....
Our origin in common is the "earth"

The earth was commanded to bring forth life...both human and animal.

This also is the same answer we receive from the teachers of evolution ...
