Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help your white ass?

You're goddamn right.

Fuck tha police!
Comin staright from the underground
Young nigga got it bad
Cuz I'm brown...

Oh, wait, sorry. I've been hanging around a few friends who have been listening to N.W.A. today.

Onward to the debate! :P

How do you spell that word?

Pomegranate?

I don't know.

The annoying fruit with all the seeds? Seriously, theres a fair body of scholarship suggesting it was a pomegranite.

If so, I wouldn't have any knowledge or life, and if I did have any life at all, I'd probably die of starvation. Besides I don't exactly trust that "body of scholarship."

I like the idea that it was a cheery. Although, arguable, the cheery might actually be a vegetable. However, a cheery would make a lot of sense. Cuz, you know, the Bible is so full of logic and sense, right?

I submit humbly that it is possible to embrace faith and science.Genesis is a story divinely inspired-- breathed by God into man. It is a story meant for people to have understood literally in a prescientific age. But what does the story have to offer us after Darwin? Hmmmm. Consider that the following is supported by science and spoken of in Genesis:
The Earth is a formless void-- (a lifeless hunk of rock) Then Oceans cover the Earth, and then land appears. Plants pop up, then animals in the water, and then the animals make it onto land. And then man comes.

Wouldn't that be evolution? A subject I don't exactly agree with myself. There are way too many flaws within that theory, as well. Plus, that doesn't exactly give the creation of our universe. I figured the "void" was complete nothingness. And, if God had to rest only six days after creating the earth (alone), then, can you imagine the stress of having to build an entire universe, with all its subtle complexities?

Genesis is nothing more than a mythological story about the creation of our world. A story written by an unknown author and a senile king. With white -- blonde haired and blue eyed Angels, and two white people who somehow created every race on our entire planet. Which leaves us questioning the existence of Neanderthals. Even though we have more evidence for the existence of Neanderthals.

It's simple convenient that God took away the Garden Of Eden, before we could study it. Surly you don't believe in Atlantis.

Original sin; we're born into it. Therefore, we're forever sinners, unless we confess our sins to our king/God. Even then, we're bound to fall short.. yadda.. yadda..

It's very predictable. I mean, if I wanted to control people, I'd probably create a religion similar to Christianity.

Christians make me laugh, because they can believe in talking snakes, and fruits that offer eternal life or knowledge, and yet, they won't believe in aliens, or ghosts, or even, other people's religions.

At first, man is ruled by instinct. He lives with the animals and lives like the animals. He begins to devlop language. Then, something incredible happens-- he seeks knowledge.

Whoa! Really? Intelligent life seeking knowledge? Amazing!

And after this, he develops such human concepts as embarassment at nudity.

The most intelligent people are not ashamed of being naked, or even embarrassed. Ever heard of nude beaches? Clothing was something to protect people from the weatherly conditions. Not because they were embarrassed of their "private parts." We have many tribes, today, where the people are barley clothed. They got to protect themselves from the sun, and the more sensitive areas need to be covered for obvious reasons.

One; infection caused by too much sun, dust, dirt, poisonous plants, animals, etc. It's just a lot more safe if you're out in the "wild."

Is this abreviated? Yes. But it's all in Genesis, in the order I present it.

It's the most basic concept of our creation, but a lot of it (still) isn't feasible, and a lot more studying needs to be involved.

There is no story that could be more relevant to people across four milenia.

To an infant probably, but not to a scientist, an anthropologist, ecologist, and so forth. In their case, it's limited information, and a one sided story written for only one part of the world (at it's time).

It makes senses within the radically different world views of 2 BCE through 2 ACE. Only something bigger than us, which understood it all, could have created this.

See my above statement. Obviously it does not make any sense, unless you're uneducated.

No offense to anyone here. I mean, I'm uneducated about a million things. I'm just saying.
