Scripture identifies God as Creator and mankind as made in God's image. Later Scripture treats Adam and Eve as real persons in theological argument. Scientific claims about mechanisms, fossils, genetics, cosmology, or earth age must be independently verified; Scripture's authority should not be attached to outdated scientific arguments.
