Adam
Adam, in Genesis , the first man and companion of Eve. He died at the age of 930 years (Genesis 5-5). While the Catholic Church continues to teach officially The biblical According to the Bible , the Book of Genesis , Adam (Hebrew "," the word "", earth), is the first man and was created by God on the sixth day of Creation. Eve was created from a rib of Adam (Genesis 2:21,22). The first pair was placed by God in the Garden of Eden. But God had forbidden the consumption of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil , but the Snake ( Nahash in Hebrew ) who tempted Eve ate the forbidden fruit and gave some to Adam who ate in turn. The origin of original sin is the fault of these early humans, without causing their expulsion from Eden. In terms of genealogy biblical narrative ascribes three first son of Adam and Eve, Cain , Abel and Seth , then many other children (Genesis 5; v4). According to Jewish legend not mentioned in the Hebrew Bible , Adam knew Lilith before knowing Eve. Following the book of Genesis says that, nine generations after Adam and Eve ( Genesis : 5-6 to 5-29), humanity born of the first pair disappeared under the flood , except Noah and his family (his wife, his son Japheth , Shem , Ham and their wives), to whom God has entrusted the task to reestablish humanity. Thus Noah is he, according to the Bible, the most recent common ancestor of all humanity. The popular explanation, which does come from Adama ( Adams), do not take into account the mode of word formation of the Hebrew language: the shortest to the longest, parallel with the development of concepts. So that gives Adam and Adama is not. In the text, the land is named after adama formulation of the project by God to Adam. Previously, she called aretz. The midrash offers several comments on the name Adam Ed's word is derived Aderet (breastplate), Adon (Dominator), ADIR (the fort). Clearly, Ed is a sign of vital energy. Ed comes Adam, of course, but also Adom (red), red being the color more vivid. Another hypothesis about the etymology of Adam comes from the tablets of Ugarit. These tablets reveal that Ugaritic language , humanity itself "adm" that would have given in Hebrew "Adam", the first man. At first, Adam represents the male and female (God created Adam in His image, the image of God He created him, male and female he created them). The Qur'an gives a version of the story of Adam, with the Sura Al-Baqara. Created by God in giving the most harmonious image among his creatures, from clay (salsal), Adam receives knowledge of the names of all things and his future offspring (Al-Baqara, 28-31). Be filled in the creation , advantaged by the ability to learn and learning Adam after receiving instruction from God, was able to name other creatures, while angels do not being taught God did not manage to do so. God declared that he knew about what they (the angels) do not know. And angels and jinn were ordered to bow before Adam to greet him, they applied it there, with the exception of Iblis among the jinn, which swelled with pride by claiming the fact that it was made of material more noble than the earth (fire) which is made Adam, he disobeyed the orders of the Lord and refused to bow, since it was counted as among the unfaithful servants of the Lord and His never hunted mercy. Iblis vowed to be cursed to work to Adam and his progeny disobey the recommendations of the lord by temptation. Adam lived at first in the Garden of Eden , with his wife Eve, created from a rib from his left flank by some accounts. They disobeyed God's command and ate the fruit of the forbidden tree. God forgave Adam his act due to its nature as a weakness against the temptations of Satan and the characteristic of the oblivion with which he was conceived naturally, he received the words of God and was forgiven in exchange for these words accepted by Adam after which he came out with Iblis from heaven and the angels descended to earth to live him and his offspring as enemies with Iblis, as the new master of the earth, as it was announced at the beginning by God to angels. First man and prophet and father of mankind. He is quoted as heir to the land after the jinn. According to the scholar of Islam Ibn Kathir in his book "Tales of the prophets" the earth was inhabited before Adam jinn another species of creatures not earth destroyed by wars and destruction that was rescued one of their illustrious scholar and leader : Iblis. In the Law of Adam, he was allowed the brother to marry his sister born of another birth to the offspring of humans can be spread on land (which was later changed). Also Eve gave birth to every birth to a boy and a girl, forty times in his life The Bah's see in Adam the prophet of God (the term used is "manifestation of God") the oldest according to the known history , and do not exclude the possibility of forgotten predecessors . Adam started the Adamic cycle, a subset of progressive revelation, 6,000 years ago, culminating in Bah'u'llh The Biblical story of Adam and Eve is allegorical, as explained in Abdu'l-Baha . In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , the biblical narrative of Adam and Eve is considered partly literal and partly symbolic, with explanations in the Book of Moses and in the Book of Mormon . In Doctrine and Covenants , Adam was named the archangel Michael (27:11 and 107:54). Among Druze , Adam represents the universal spirit and Eve, the universal soul, "the spiritual parents where the Adamic souls have their identities" . Historians Freemasons have stated that Adam and Eve were the first Masons in history . According to this account, Adam had built a lodge of which Eve was excluded because she was female. These themes are represented in the writings of Pasqually Martines , Claude de Saint-Martin and Willermoz. There is also the legend of Adam Kadmon , who is a current figure of Rosicrucian. The York Rite, some of the 28th degree Venerable take the name of Adam. This story Masonic resembles that of Muslims in point: the belief in a religion of Adam, whatever. The story of Adam, whatever its origin, is based on the concept of the first man and therefore directly opposed to the theory of evolution. The creationist theory reaches designs Plato and Aristotle on the precedence of ideas ( theory of ideas ), and the rationality of reality, which is the basis of science. When in 1860 Darwin published his book On the Origin of Species in 1859, he raised an outcry and the church raised the strongest protests. In 1871 he published the book The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation of Sex dealing with the genealogy of Man, where he concludes that men and apes are descended from a common ancestor, which is the opposite of the story of the Bible . This theory of human evolution is largely accepted by the Catholic Church , placing Adam in a symbolic world , which means that we have a significant proportion of common ancestors of living species with non-human. A small part of all our ancestors are in groups of early humans, including modern humans. The monophyly of the human species is well documented. The species Homo sapiens (modern man) was born strain Homo erectus both by mutation and by natural selection , who survived, there are about 200 000 years, somewhere in Africa. Settlement of the Earth would have started there 50 years and 100 000 from there . In condemning what she calls the "polygenism" The Catholic Church has joined Darwin. Recall that the Homo sapiens did not descend entirely of Homo neanderthalensis his cousin, a species that had become extinct there about 28,000 years without leaving issue. Remember also that the phylogenetic separation between simians ( quadruped ) and Hominina ( bipedal ) ancestors of modern humans, dating back to around 5 to 7 million years. No crossing is possible between these two lineages. This theory, however, is questioned by some scientists, including Svante Pbo, it seems that Europeans and Asians have had Neanderthal ancestors, even if cases of interbreeding have apparently been rare. Some researchers are concerned, thanks to genetics, to identify common ancestors. Professor Richard Dawkins has taken up the topic of an ancestor common to all humanity. Allan Wilson and his colleagues at UC Berkeley, and the English geneticist Bryan Sykes has done research on mitochondrial DNA , which is transmitted by the mother. This research has identified several common ancestors females, they called mitochondrial Eve by association with the idea of Genesis. The mitochondrial Eve would have lived in Africa about 150,000 years ago , and is one (among others) the ancestors common to all women. A group of seven others has been identified (called "The Seven Daughters of Eve") which it is established that every woman today is descended from at least one of them ., Research on the Y chromosome have identified a male ancestor to all men. This individual, the most recent common ancestor patrilineal , called Y-chromosome Adam lived in Africa too, and would date only about 39,000 years. But neither the mitochondrial Eve, or the Y chromosome Adam (who did not live at the same time), are the Adam and Eve in the Bible because they were each child of two parents of the same species, a member of their species and their social group, in which each mated with a member of its species that had different parents. They were not the first Homo sapiens or the oldest human ancestors and older people. Their position in the human family tree is the most recent common ancestor by pure maternal line (for mitochondrial Eve) and pure paternal line (the Y chromosome Adam). As has been said with reference to Paul VI and John Paul II , the Catholic Church and its leader Pope Benedict XVI continue to teach, and be a "truth of faith", the existence of a first man, whom we all descend. While all the "truths defined Faith" are important and intangible, it plays an important role, because without it we can not understand the doctrine of original sin, and consequently the doctrine of redemption. For the Church, man is endowed with an immortal soul, unlike animals, it is not possible to move progressively from the absence of an immortal soul to the presence of an immortal soul. It took a considerable jump, which can only be God's intervention. How this intervention has passed, the Church does not say: you are free to believe that God has created man from scratch, or use one or more living beings . The Catholic Church does not necessarily opposed to all theories of evolution, without prejudice to how God built the world . It declares that God is the sole creator, he created the world out of love, but the spirit can not be the result of an evolution of matter . Pope Benedict XVI summed up the views of the Catholic Church in April 2007: Christianity believes in "creative reason in the beginning of everything and principle of everything." For the Church, the main lesson of the story of Creation is that Man is a creature of God. How God worked to create human is secondary and its presentation in the Bible could be allegorical. In this regard, the way God has made is the subject of science , the creation of Man is the product of divine will is that of faith. The Catholic Church rejects the second option, that of "the priority of the irrational that everything works on the Earth and our lives would be only occasional and a product of the irrational and asserts that" each of us is the result of a thought of God ". This position does not contradict the theory of evolution, but denies that this theory dictates that the vision we must have the individual .
