How do you spell that word? The annoying fruit with all the seeds? Seriously, theres a fair body of scholarship suggesting it was a pomegranite.
I submit humbly that it is possible to embrace faith and science.
Genesis is a story divinely inspired-- breathed by God into man. It is a story meant for people to have understood literally in a prescientific age. But what does the story have to offer us after Darwin? Hmmmm. Consider that the following is supported by science and spoken of in Genesis:
The Earth is a formless void-- (a lifeless hunk of rock) Then Oceans cover the Earth, and then land appears. Plants pop up, then animals in the water, and then the animals make it onto land. And then man comes.
At first, man is ruled by instinct. He lives with the animals and lives like the animals. He begins to devlop language. Then, something incredible happens-- he seeks knowledge. And after this, he develops such human concepts as embarassment at nudity.
Is this abreviated? Yes. But it's all in Genesis, in the order I present it. There is no story that could be more relevant to people across four milenia. It makes senses within the radically different world views of 2 BCE through 2 ACE. Only something bigger than us, which understood it all, could have created this.
