This is Ken Ham, author of the classic book, The Lie: Evolution and Millions of Years.One of the apostle Paul’s favorite topics to write about was Jesus and the gospel. And when he does this, he builds his doctrine of sin and salvation on the fact that sin and death entered the world through Adam.

For example, he writes that we needed the last Adam because of the sin of the first Adam that brought death. And, again, in a different letter, he writes that we all die because Adam brought sin and death into the world.

Paul always treats Genesis as literal history—and as history that’s foundational to the gospel message.

Yes, we can be confident that Genesis is literal history . . . well, from the very first verse!
