“Regardless of how we explain human origins (whether through special creation or through an evolutionary process), the reading of Genesis 1-3 that I’m proposing here requires that whatever makes humans distinctly human (thereby separating them from the rest of the animals and infilling them with God’s image) must happen at the precise point when they enter the Garden.”

Two humans outside the Garden before the Fall, but without the image of God .

Just before entering the Garden, God breathes into them His breath and image.

Outside the Garden pre-Fall, they suffered natural evil, but without a sense of divine justice for their as-yet future rebellion.

After the Fall they might resort to their pre-fall animal consciousness.

Wood 2002—human evolution is illusion

“There is a popular image of human evolution that you’ll find all over the place … On the left of the picture there’s an ape … On the right, a man … Between the two is a succession of figures that become ever more like humans … Our progress from ape to human looks so smooth, so tidy. It’s such a beguiling image that even the experts are loath to let it go. But it is an illusion.”
