Notwithstanding the claim of the theory of evolution that we all evolved from lower amphibians to homo-sapiens, it still sounds scientifically plausible that the human race had at its origin a male and a female .

The result is that they were sent out of paradise and as their descendants, we all have to suffer and struggle with…
