Death before the Fall?
The Darwin Bicentenary has brought a plethora of films, lectures, articles and books dealing with the implications of evolutionary theory for modern thought and life. Within evangelicalism the anniversary has prompted an important discussion about the relationship between human death and the Fall.
Here, I would like briefly to answer the question: did Christians before the appearance of Darwin’s The Origin of Species in 1859 separate human death from the appearance of human sin in Genesis 3?
