Could the Present Theory of Evolution Need to Include Hybridization?

Revised April 15, 2015
I want to let you know about an article on the internet that will truly make you think. Dr. Eugene McCarthy has developed a theory of evolution that supplies a "missing link." He believes that hybridization has been a very import mechanism in the progress of evolution. In fact, what he says about this subject helps us understand better what God may have done as He responded to His own statement: "Let us make man in our image..." (Gen. 1:26, KJV) McCarthy says that man is a cross between two species; in other words, man is a hybrid. If this were the case, God could have providentially brought these two species together, through weather changes or something else, and thus begun to rapidly produce the human species. As you may know, I believe that a race existed prior to the creation of Adam and Eve. The first creation of man, as recorded in Genesis 1, was through evolution and hybridization; the second creation of man, as recorded in Genesis 2, was the creation of Adam and Eve's directly from the ground. One of McCarthy's main articles on mankind's origin is found at http://www.macroevolution.net/human-origins.html#.UjyR6ZjD_wo. This is a multipage article in which he gives much evidence for his conclusion that mankind is a hybrid species. He has other articles that support his theory of hybridization and evolution.

Genesis 2:4 Closes Out the Story of God’s First Creation of Mankind

Hebrew syntax points to two creations of mankind. For many years the Jewish community and the Christian church have believed that the account of the creation of Adam and Eve given in Genesis 2 is a detailed description of a more general creation of mankind told in the first chapter of Genesis. This section will discuss some syntactical reasons why we should interpret the creation account of Adam and Eve to be a creation of another race of people, which was in addition to the creation of the pre-Adamites as recorded in Genesis 1. My comments will center on Genesis 2:5f.
