The primary challenge to [[theistic evolution]] is the [[genealogical record]], and the point at which it becomes literal. Many theistic evolutionists believe that [[Adam]] was not a real man, but the books of Genesis and Chronicles, contain a ancestral record from Adam to [[Noah]]. The book of [[Luke]] repeats this genealogy from Adam to [[Jesus]]. | |||
Those who criticize theistic evolution frequently argue that [[Genesis]] is so inextricably intertwined with Judaeo-Christian-Islamic theism as to be inseparable. While the first chapter of Genesis may be interpreted as allegory; the creationism theme runs throughout the rest of Genesis and into the New Testament. | |||

Is the [[biblical genealogy]] of Genesis 5 also allegorical and mythological? If so, what was the allegorical intent of the specific years and dates given for those people, the year at which they had the next son in their line, and the year they died? What of the fact that those genealogies are used literally throughout the Old Testament, and Matthew and Luke in the New Testament? Is the [[Great flood]] mythological? If so, what are we to do with the [[Table of Nations]], and the references to [[Noah]] by [[Jesus]] and [[Peter]] in the New Testament? Were the detailed stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph also allegorical? The theistic evolutionist must answer the question: Where does allegory end and history begin in Genesis? | Is the [[biblical genealogy]] of Genesis 5 also allegorical and mythological?
