"from one man"
- (Not to be confused with the paper "By One Man" by C. Byrnes)
Please keep this page for a summary list of Bible passages directly related to Monogenism, not for discussion or general arguments. Maybe. Let's decide later. There's a Monogenism page, so we might not need this page at all. Bruce (talk)
Acts 17:26
God has made all nations to inhabit the whole earth from "one". From one what, though? The Greek doesn't specify. See the two possible interpretations here - either from one ancestral group, or from one person.
It is suggested that we should read it as meaning "from one person", who would be Adam, and that therefore this verse is in conflict with modern genetics.
See comments about the context here on the Acts 17:26 page. See thoughts about blood here on the same page.
Problem to be reconciled: if Acts 17:26 refers to Adam it is unscientific
