In Jesus, the Father’s Proxy on Earth and Jesus on Mount Sinai, I establish the idea of Christophanies in the Old Testament, essentially making the case that where we see God on earth, it is Jesus.  In Genesis 6 - Who Regretted Creating Mankind?, I use the same principals to suggest there was interplay between Jesus and God the Father in the Flood narrative.  It resolves a key problem skeptics point out, where God does not appear omniscient when He speaks (emphasis mine)…
 5 The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that …

 1 The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.
Apparently God is not referring to Noah’s extended family or relatives.  He is only referring to Noah’s wife, sons, and their wives.  It would seem he had no other children, and no grandchildren yet.
2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
As I wrote in …

One of the problems with biblical interpretation is the apparent assumption that what the Bible says is all there is to know.  “The Bible says it. I believe it. That settles it.” is a common mantra… and I agree with it, as far as it goes.  The problem is that we do not always realize what is with which we agree.  The Bible makes it seem like the Earth is at the center of the universe.  Well, it isn’t.  However, it is at the center of God’s plan for the universe.  So, Christians then and now still believe the Bible, and yet believe different things.  It makes arguing against unbeliever rather difficult, but that aside, we need only acknowledge that …

 5 The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.” 
Genesis 6:5-7 is an interesting passage.  Christians use it to teach how much God hates sin; skeptics use it to teach how …

 1 This is the written account of Adam’s line.
      When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them “man. ”
Verses 1 and 2 appear to mirror both Day 6 and the creation of Adam.  I say this because because the word used for “man” is the same as the name for Adam.  The King James Version says this even clearer:
 1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;  2Male and female created he them; …

       29 Truly, this only I have found:
      That God made man upright,
      But they have sought out many schemes.”

Ecclesiastes 7:29

…continued from Genesis 3 - The Fall of Man (Part 1)
 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Notice that scripture doesn’t question whether eating the fruit was desirable for gaining wisdom.  After all, Adam and …

 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
Several things to notice.

First, the serpent was not the only crafty wild animal the LORD God had made… just the most.  I see this as an interesting precursor to later in Genesis, when the Sons of God slept with the Daughters of Man.  Angels were always able to possess to living beings.  However, at some point, possession of animals appears to have ended.  I suspect (but am not sure of) this, not because of others’ commentary I have read, but because when …

Like 1 Corinthians 15:21, Romans 5:12 is another verse used to support the doctrine of Original Sin.  However, does this verse mean that there was no death before Adam?  That is important to answer, because if there was no death before Adam, then Evolution would be false, and the Earth would by necessity be young… and science would be turned on its ear.

The first verse on Original Sin that I addressed is 1 Corinthians 15:21, which reads:
21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
However, the context of this verse was a reference back to Daniel 12:2:
2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: …

1 Corinthians 15:21 is one of the verses used to prove that because of Original Sin, the earth is young.  Here is the verse:
21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
The reasoning is as follows:

Given: Jesus died for our sins
Given: Adam introduced sin
Given: God said that when Adam sinned, he would die
Therefore: Death resulted from Adam’s sin
Therefore: There was no death until Adam sinned.
Therefore: Evolution could not have occurred. 
Therefore: The Earth is young.

And 1 Corinthians 15:21 is offered as confirmation of this simple proof.  However, does this verse really confirm this proof?  Or might it actually disprove it?  1 Corinthians 15 is a long chapter that Paul wrote in order to cut through some misconceptions …
