Ponder this for a moment, because this is why people cling to Genesis even though its completely ridiculous.

- If you accept evolution, you have to throw out Genesis.
- If you throw out Genesis, you throw out Adam and Eve.
- If you throw out Adam and Eve, you throw out the story of the talking snake, the apple from the Tree of Knowledge and the concept of Original Sin (this is the important part) that is inherited by every human being alive today.
- If you throw out all that, then you have to throw out the Resurrection.

Why throw out the Resurrection you say?

Because Jesus died for 'our' sins, mostly for the big one - Original Sin. So if Genesis never happened (or the Church or the moderates claims that part is metaphorical or allegorical), then the entire reason behind the Resurrection is completely bogus and without the promise of eternal life after death, Christianity becomes a moral guide and self help course based on bad literature with poor fact checking. Salvation is the money shot here.

This is why the South shits itself when its forced to teach evolution in schools.
