yeah i was reading through the other thread and was going to post it there but it was too off topic
1. Did Adam Have a Navel?
2. Did the trees in the garden of eden have rings?
3. Was the soil in the garden of eden made from decayed leaves from trees that had previously existed?
4. And the question i asked in the other thread which was kind of answered was if Kane killed Able then hpw did he reproduce?
In answer to the Adam, navel thing. Technically he should not have, as he did not come from a woman; there was no umbilical cord to create it :P
Why do you even care :S
The bible is fictional, deal with it.
Now, for those who don't know:
Fictional
1. An imaginative creation or a pretense that does not represent actuality but has been invented.
2. The act of inventing such a creation or pretense.
A lie.
3. A literary work whose content is produced by the imagination and is not necessarily based on fact.
why is this forum so obsessed with god today "/
Lol at that...Quote:

Well if it was a couple of days old what do you think? ;/
The bible is just one big contradtictive book.
God killed man, but then he didn't.
Jesus died for sin, but came back to life, so he never took anyones sin away.
The water into wine was an illustration.
When I think of anymore I shall post.
A human wrote the bible, a human is ONLY human.
*humans. ;pQuote:

Mary Magdalene was a **********Quote:

Exactly this whole fiasco was brought back up but the church denied it back then and portrayed her as a prostítute.Quote:

Just things for people to try to explain.
Well obviously if the trees were a couple days old like the Bible sais then they couldnt have had the rings from the different seasons.. And same applies to the soil.Quote:

I saw that and it was a good movie but it is not what the bible actualy sais. He made up most of it just to make the story interesting...Quote:

But most of the Bible is missing and the stuff that is in there now is alot of rubbish to be honest that was added over time to make certain people look good/bad and God to be portrayed as even better.
It is quite fictional but not all.
I mean, I asked my friend, (She follows the bible literally), that if she had to hop around all Saturday and Saunday and that it was written in the bible otherwise she would go to hell, would she? And she said yeah, she would.
I think it's funny how some people just follow things blindly just because it is written down or is the will of something they think is a 'higher power'.
I belive in the Da Vinci Code idea, that Jesus was just a normal man,Quote:

Exactly,I mean if he can create complex creatures like us I'm sure he could add a bit of age to the trees so their older. I mean I believe Adam and Eve were adults when they were 'born' were they not? If so what happened about the whole pregnancy process. Again it all goes back to God being omnipotent thus meaning he can pretty much do what he wants.Quote:

I love being right.
Peopl say to us, Believe in the bible, believe in god/jesus, yeah, thats their opinion. Our opinion that it's fiction is OUR opinion and I say that it is. Most of it is BS and it contradics it's self many times. Many things it says in the bible are impossible but you know, it's the will of god. :rolleyes:Quote:

that was mangerlin or somthing, they both had very simlar names which the church abused hence convinceing people they were both one and the same, taring her repuation since otheriwize the bible would have made women equal to men, and also it said churchs, clergy, preastes etc were all work of the devel and the so called houses of god were sins.Quote:

The whole new testiment was all writen by a guy called peter 300 years or so after the evenets in the form of letters anyway...
Well it does say so IN the bible, so since where takeing it as fact id guess he does...Quote:

God wakes up just now and realises "oh no! i forgot to create the world" so he snaps his fingers, and create the world exsactly as it would have been if he had created it on time, Compleate with trees buildings memoryes etc.
Theres no way we can no wheather the world existed before the present becuse of that "/
but that kinda causes problems with life if people get to worryed so people kinda ignore the problem.
Plus even god can not contradict a consept. 2+2 will always equal 4 wheather god likes it or not, he can delude us to make us think otherwize (yet thats contary to his benevolance) or he could rename the consepts but the conseptes all remain the same and correct...
I love a good debate, And if a christan wants to try and convent me, im happy to flaw all there thearys disprove there consepts and give em a few paradox'sQuote:
