This is also the point where Darwinists and creationists differ. By concluding we are descended from apes, ignorant and racist men like Murray & Herrnstein, in their book *The Bell Curve, are free to delineate evolutionary development. True to form, they concluded that Caucasians came from the ‘smartest’ apes. Of course, that means the rest evolved from lower species, or simply have not developed as well as Caucasians yet. To prove their point, racists were quick to point out that African Americans have kinky hair, unique facial features and dark skin color. Therefore, we are genetically much ‘closer’ to apes than whites are. In fact, according to them, we may not be men at all.
This is a powerful argument to ignorant or stupid minds who seek a reason to feel superior. It does not matter that human genetic DNA has a 99% equality factor within all races on earth. Nor does it matter that there are other animals whose intelligence is closer to men than apes. Nor does it matter that every racial feature in humans serves an evolutionary purpose according to geographical survival requirements. Ignorant people do not know what DNA is.
It does not even matter if you believe we evolved from John and Jane Ape, or in creation. However, no one can believe in God and still believe in the evolution of mankind from apes. That is why the conclusions arrived at in this work are the doings of God, and I therefore, accept not only His existence, but His omnipotence as well. I also accept the existence of Satan and the power of Satan to influence and tempt us. It is time to look back from where we are, to try to understand how we came to be who we are, in terms of what divides us today. The architect of our division is Satan’s plan to entice us to serve him.
Satan used Adam’s defiance of God’s Word to create a division between God and man, dividing that which is flesh from that which is spirit. Thus, because of Satan, God sentenced us to die in the flesh. Adam and Eve’s disobedience was caused by choosing physical pleasure over obedience to God.
This act of defiance of God’s commandment resulted from the first divisionary force, which is the difference between men and women. Which besides being one of sex, also embodied the second great division between us, which was to divide those of us who see the opposite sex in terms of what is divinely created from that which is merely pleasurable. The latter division would ultimately become the foundation for all other divisions of flesh that would soon follow. Those divisions became primarily intertribal; i.e., race, language, culture, et al. They would begin with the relationship between Adam and Eve to each other, and Adam and Eve to their children, and finally, between the children themselves, regarding spiritual and physical natures, according to their love for one another. God made Eve from Adam’s rib, therefore, Eve was made using the material of a man.
If these differences were resolved according to the roles each has been assigned by God, today we would be free from the influence of divisionary forces that divide men and women, we would have learned to live together and work together; and to teach our children to love their neighbors as they love themselves. Therefore, today we would be one people, worshipping one God, through one language, being now one for all, and all for one.
In addition to the above, since Eve was created out of Adam’s rib, Adam has intimate knowledge of Eve that Eve does not have of him. As the author of this book and a minister of the Gospel, I assure you that men and women were created with separate roles for the sake of teaching our children to love their neighbors as themselves. Further, Eve was given to Adam as his helper and comforter, according to the Book of Genesis and the first book of Peter, 3:1.
