Do you believe in a literal Adam and Eve and a perfect world with no death prior to the alleged fall?

It's doctrine, so yes. We are obligated to believe in a real Adam and Eve.

[KnightofChrist]

Adam and Eve were real persons who actually lived in real life. There are our real first parents.

Do you believe there was death before them?

I believe Adam and Eve did exist as well as dinosaurs. And yes I believe the Church, sin introduced death into the world.

[Maggyie]

Dinosaurs were before the first humans Josh.

If dinosaurs came before Adam and Eve how did they die if there was no death?

How long did they live in Eden before the fall?

I don't understand your question?

[KnightofChrist]

How long did Adam and Eve live in Eden before they fell? We don't really know if the fall was after the death of the Dinosaurs.

No, I don't see how the mythology accords with the reality of the world's evolution, unless you read the myth not literally, but in that case it becomes a theological problem.

Why do you think it becomes a theological problem?

I just mean the whole assumption that man was created directly by God and fell from perfection. Man is an evolved animal, not a lapsed masterpiece.
