No one, not a single (sane) Evolutionist is going to agree with you that the first human came out of the water.

Why do you think it's more logical to think humans came out of the water?

I might be wrong but one thing I am certain of......

......the first human did not come out of the water.

No, not the first "human" but certainly the first life...which ultimately lead to the first humans. I believe most scientists and all Evolutionists will agree with this. I read and saw recently of fossils found on land that show a sea creature that was forming legs. Evolution from water to land. And I am pretty sure that is what the OP was about...and I think you know that as well

No, I don't know that. The OP was asking about the literal words in the bible and now you're saying I can not apply that same logic even to the OP.....

.....you don't see the double-standard there?

Do you honestly think that creation of human by dust is logical?

May be there are some insane ones out there.

I'm guess by the water content? It might not be logical at all, or shall i say, it's not more logical then human coming up from dust?? I'll take water over dust anytime in this content

But are you certain that human came from dust?


Unless you don't believe in biblical creation, then i will withdraw my last question.

is there any problem if we said that human being created from water and also created from dust or clay ?

i can't see contradictions , if two of them are correct


Suppose I say that in order to make a cup of tea one needs water. One also needs tealeaves or tea powder. The two statements are not contradictory since both water and tealeaves are required in order to make a cup of tea. Furthermore if I want sweet tea I can even add sugar.

Thus there is no contradiction when it says that man is created from dust and water. It is not a contradiction but a contradistinction. Contradistinction means speaking about two different concepts on the same subject without conflict. For instance if I say that the man is always truthful and a habitual liar, it is a contradiction, but if I say that a man is always honest, kind and loving, then it is a contradistinction.

Well I'm here and I'm sure Troop will show up. You're right Alpha, the first human beings did not emerge from water. Water is necessary for life as we know it, even a potato has a large percentage of water in it's composition but I don't think any rational person believes that potatoes were once sea dwelling vegetables. However the very first forms of life did live in the oceans and evolved into a wide variety of forms in the Cambrian Explosion approximately 530 million years ago which resulted in the appearance of most of the major complex animals. I've watched an interesting documentary about the Burgess Shale in Canada which probably has provided the most abundant amount of fossil evidence from that time period but there's nothing even remotely resembling human beings in any aquatic environment.
