2,000 yr old story that was primitive then and is hopelessly wrong now

[wvit1001]

The earth isn’t the center of the solar system or universe as described from the outset, Adam and Eve is a metaphor, females do not issue from males ribs (besides being a silly explanation, they’d have the same DNA…oops) and genetics has shown it is impossible for modern humanity to have sprung from less than a few thousand people it wasn’t just two, evolution happened, not Noah or the Flood, there were never giants in the human race, the earth is 4.3 billion years old not a few thousand, human longevity was never hundreds of years, female humans don’t have offspring in their nineties, language evolution is well documented without a Tower of Babel, and if someone hears voices in their head to slay their son with a knife for a burnt offering, they need medication, and quickly.

Modern Knowledge 10, Bible 0.

And we are not even out of Genesis yet…only the first chapter of 66 (or so, depending whose version of the Bible you read).
What other book could you read that was so utterly wrong in the first chapter that you would still trust to contain all sorts of true statements, much less “eternal truths”?

Be respectful of other peoples' beliefs.  Don't try to force your religion on others, vit.

Thank you Dan

you don't have to read the story dan, nothing is forcing you other than your own curiosity.

I respect those who are believers even though I'm not. I am baffled how so many intelligent people are totally convinced of creationism when there are so many gaps and flaws with this whole concept.

Include my wife and kids among those believers. I say as long as you're not blowing shit up or beheading people, who cares....

[Dan]

Regardless what people personally believe, I am disgusted by the hostility of those who insist on insulting, denigrating and humiliating those who don't share the same beliefs.

What is the point for Atheists to insult Christians?  Why must they be so hostile?

[jst-the-fax]

lakitss,

That is why they call it faith.  But as a side note...read this book, as it might give you a different opinion or at least make you into an agnostic?

Because they can't escape that nagging possibility that we have been correct all along and it totally scares them each years they come closer to their demise.  In the end, they will ALL whisper for forgiveness from God as they pass - if they can.

 For me the whole question is irrelevant.  The means, nature, mode, or processes of how man came to be what he is today means nothing to the fact of his existence at this moment.
