20
¶ And Adam called his wife’s name Eve;
because she was the mother of all living.
Acts
17:26 And hath made of one blood all
nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined
the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
All human beings are descended from Eve. Modern
science, even in its limited perspective of evidence and opinion that
overthrows one set of theories after another in their attempts to explain
history without admitting to God, understands that there is one human woman who
is the mother of all people alive today.
All human beings are related, cousins, in a manner of
speaking. So the New Guinea hill person and the gaucho-cattle ranch worker in
Argentina and Uruguay, the Bantu in Africa, and the proudest American are all
distant cousins.
Adam had not lost the right and ability to name and define the world around
him. He gave names to all creatures and here he gave a name to his wife.
