Adam and Eve: Primitive Parents?

Over at Reformed Academic there is a discussion about origins. Dr. J. Vandermeer of Redeemer University College is suggesting that Adam and Eve had primitive parents and are in some way common offspring from a forebear who also was ancestor to contemporary chimpanzees.

Pastor George van Popta responds to this succinctly on his blog. He presents three cogent arguments why Dr. Vandermeer's ideas should be soundly rejected by Reformed confessors.

Pastor George writes in his introduction:

This response makes three points: Dr. Van der Meer concludes more than he should; his conclusions call for a new way of reading scripture; his conclusions are beyond the pale of the Reformed confessions.
