Eve or “Evolution”? : The Question of the Creation of Adam and Eve as the First Humans versus the Theory that Humankind “Evolved” (Self-Changed) Over Millions of Years

Inherent in the Creation (“Intelligent Design”) versus the Theory of Evolution (“natural selection”) War, is the scientific belief in the millennia-long “evolution” of humankind, versus the Christian belief in the creation of the Biblical Adam and Eve circa 7,700 B.C. This paper proposes that there is no such thing as an “evolution” of Earth’s life forms, with “evolution” being defined as self-adaptations over time to specific environments with physical modifications. Over the course of millions of years, God created then, re-designed all Earth’s life forms in successive stages, which accounts for the non-linear progression of said forms and particularly of humanoids. Integrating Mitochondria DNA and archaeological evidence with Judeo-Christian, Muslim and extra-Biblical texts, shows that after God created then re-designed pre-Adamic humans, He created the Biblical Adam and Eve circa 9,700 years ago during the Mesolithic Period as prototypes for present-day man. Moreover, archaeological evidence, plus Judeo-Christian and extra-Biblical texts, suggest that Eve and Adam co-existed with Homo sapiens during the Mesolithic/ Neolithic Periods.
