Line 10: − The term "Son of Man" could be a mistranslation of "Son of Adam," which emphasized how Jesus was a son (male descendant) of [[Adam]]. This meaning is suggested by [[Proverbs 1-8 (Translated)#8:31|Proverbs 8:31]], where "sons of Adam" was translated by the [[KJV]] as "sons of men."+
→"Son of Adam": Greek vs. Hebrew

Though the Greek version is clear, the Hebrew term for "Son of Man" could be a mistranslation of "Son of Adam," which emphasized how Jesus was a son (male descendant) of [[Adam]]. This meaning is suggested by [[Proverbs 1-8 (Translated)#8:31|Proverbs 8:31]], where "sons of Adam" was translated by the [[KJV]] as "sons of men."
This possible mistranslation in English Bibles then permitted [[Darwin]] to deny, with his [[theory of evolution]], that Adam existed as described in the Bible. Had Jesus been known in the English-speaking world as the "Son of Adam," the theory of evolution would have been a non-starter.
