First of all. No, they don't. The fossil record, AND the DNA do not prove anything at all as to how humans came to be. All they do is show a code. The rest is fairy tales, and mix/matching at best in the same manner they used to before they knew of DNA, with facts again being pretended to make sense by a general consensus that if you question it, you're deemed as stupid. Sorry mate. If you wish to state how they're proved, then present your actual proof so we can discuss the finer details.

Second of all, you say "despite the chronology seen in Genesis." Can you explain what you mean there?


In the same way that a recipe will explain the ingredients, and THEN go into demonstrating how the ingredients are treated, it is sad to see that people continue to do this with God's word. "Oh, but you mentioned the ONIONS already. It contradicts. You already said to cut them up and put them in a bowl. Therefore, I can't cook it" is very very poor reasoning, and a major logical fallacy. Otherwise you will be easily fooled by simple stuff like this so-called "contradiction", where Genesis 2:2 says God rested on the 7th day, yet Genesis 2.4 says the heavens and the earth were made in ONE day. Same reasoning.

It is very sad to see you think that the sprinkling of blood was a cure for leprosy. It is also sad for you to think that bats are birds according to the Bible, or that any idea that rain and snow are through windows in the sky is literal.
Let's break these three claims down for you.

1) Bats and birds - "flying creatures"? Not good enough for you? See, at the moment, it is comments like this that cause massive issues in human society because they deem animals with different hair colour as different species, or different feather colours, or that one has a significant dot somewhere, where the other one doesn't. If you did that to humans, you'd have them all divided into about 1 billion different species. It's moronic, yet people do it with animals. So it shows that these theories humans have that we call came from one source are so stupid because we DID come from one source. The missing link is God, and the missing synapse connection is stubborn obstinate self-worship of humans.
The Bible never said "all species, genus, family and other bullcrap made up by men to invent a fairytale to appear smart". Sure, the idea was a good idea to classify things in some way, but the problem is, there is no agreed method. The methods over the last 400 years are still debated. So if the so-called experts can't agree on it, why would you argue God's point that he stated they were created "according to their kind"? Define "kind" for me.

2) As for windows in the sky, it's poetic. Are you going to be so technical to tell the world not to use the term "sunrise" any more? "The sun doesn't rise, so it's not a sunrise. It's unscientific!" Would you? No. Why would you critique ONE thing - namely, anything to do with a clean God - but not the other - namely, anything drivelled by some self-righteous know-nothing blabbermouth, who can't even say "years" properly? He has to talk like Miss Prissy. Does he have a Foghorn Leghorn fetish or something? "Yerzzzz, yerzzz". How intelligent!!!

3) Blood curing leprosy - can you please define somewhere that shows splattering sacrificial blood cures leprosy?

After all that waffle..... You still haven't answered a very simple question.

Do YOU Believe in Adam and Eve or don't you.?

Also, I like to look at the angle of when people claim certain things that are in it, to study the context of why it was written, who it was written to,

It was written for an iron age, Middle Eastern desert tribe.

The Rum Diary - Hunter S Thompson

Is it any good? The movie was quite alright, just wondering how Hunter writes...

Is it any good? The movie was quite alright, just wondering how Hunter writes...

It's amazing. Movie doesn't do it justice, but also one of those books that's about a mood and the film doesn't catch it at all.

The Old Man and The Sea- Earnest Hemingway

...bit of nostalgia .

 

[LadyOnArooftop]

The only Hemingway novel I've read was A farewell To Arms, and I was a little disappointed with it. Was he drunk when he wrote it? because every other page mentioned alcohol, and from what I can recall, it was written in a sort of broken English style. Oh, and that doormat of a girlfriend he had... was all a tad jarring.

I'm currently reading Intoxicated, by Desra Tar.

Hemingway's Chair - Michael Palin
I only picked this old book up because I'm a fan of the Pythonesq Palin, and Hemmingway was mentioned on this thread. It's what I'd call a comic novel, about a chap obsessed with Hemmingway and the Post Office, an odd combination. Worth a read if you ever come across it.
