Evolution is Death

Then the Lord told me to say to the people, “Listen! I, the Lord, am giving you a choice between the way that leads to life and the way that leads to death.
(Jeremiah 21:8) Good News Translation

Evolution requires the passage of heritable traits from one generation to the next. If reproduction hasn’t taken place, then evolution is impossible.

The Wages of Sin is Death

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Romans 6:23) KJV

What does it mean that there was no death before sin? There are a couple of issues here.

What is life?
What is dying?

Dying You Shall Die

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
(Genesis 2:17) KJV

We resolve the apparent conflict between what God said would happen to Adam, vs. what actually happened to Adam, when he ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

You Shall Surely Die

Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
(Genesis 2:15-17) NKJV

“In the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Adam didn’t drop dead the moment that he ate the fruit, a possible meaning of the text. He lived for 900+ years. Is this a contradiction?
