Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
So if there was a race of man that lived prior to Adam (as the evolutionist and Theistic evolutionist believes), then how were these men dying without sin?
The argument that the TE poses as quoted form one central brother:
"Man was never immortal. Note that Paul says “death” not “mortality”.
And where there is no law, there is no sin. So the sort of death Paul is talking about here is not relevant to those without law or responsibility.
Those who die in that way are elsewhere described simply as the beasts who perish."
