Christianity and Evolution

christianity's relationship with evolution, (and sience in genderal) is extreamly messy. "from my perspective" its a gradient of consetions. what parts of siencentic reasurch do you acsept? what parts historical archioligy do you acsept? which parts of the bible are covered by "the new law under christ" and which aren't? the bible is vage enough with is stories and metaphore that many interpretaions can be constructed within the same set of traslated words. it's just malualbe esoteric enough to never be able to say anything solid, "sienific research will show yet another world view to be egoic and selfcentered." the Truth of "god's word" becomes a highly imaterial object that is excedingly difficlut to parce without the weeds stabing you in the face. in such circles, spirutal belifes and emotions often come before the an ablity to face reality in its true form without preconseptions. "that can't be ture because they bible says XYZ" or "the holly spirit is telling me that you have been decived in your knowlage".

who was the first human?

these are transitional crania from the first hominin to homo sapiens. speices change slowly over time. "speices" itself is simply a label to descride two signifacatly mophologically and biologically diverget creatures. It is a mode of compairson not absolute catigory. between the name labels we have given these skulls is a grediant of transition. who was "adam and eve"? who was the first child to be cursed with moral reasoning, who's mother would have been moraly inept?

why would God use such a violent mechonism?

evolution is a often times violent process. change in a spieces dna is caused by a selectlive pressure for one trait over another. dna which is "less fit" for an environment is fogoten to time, either through the death of that creature, or through its inabillity to reproduce pass on its dna to next generation. in short, the mechenism of evolution is death and ugenics. if god is suposed to be a "moral" entity then why would ugenics be part of the mechanism of creation.
