My reference to Matt. 19:4 was to emphasize Christ's words "HAVE YOU NOT
READ, THAT HE WHO CREATED THEM FROM THE BEGINNING MADE THEM MALE AND
FEMALE." Read what? Genesis of course! If Christ was quoting Genesis, then
how can we reconcile His own words with an evolutionary development of man.
there were male and female something which evolved into male and female
human beings??
