Or at least address the many instances of allegory that it contains. Even Jesus used parables in His teachings, and they are clear examples of allegory.


If there was no fall, what need of Jesus the redeemer?

Evolution being true doesn't negate a first man into whom God breathed a soul, then forming Eve from his rib. At some point, our mere animal ancestors became homo sapien sapien. God plucked Adam from amongst them (formed Adam from the muck of the earth), and made him the first man into which he breathed a soul, then Eve from him. Adam's ancestor species then died out by God's provenance.


Genesis describes special creation, not evolution. Adam is said to have been created not evolved. Special creation contradicts the natural order of things, that life evolved, common decent, natural selection, environment pressures, etc.
