Religious “givens”

Not saying it’s credible, just that I no longer view it as ridiculous.

And yeah, Adam being created as an adult was the main reason. Why couldn’t God create the universe as an “adult?”

You have the mentality of an 8 yr old

<<Those who argue that the word "day" means "long age," point out that the Hebrew word, yom, can have a number of meanings, only one of which is "day of 24 hours.">>

<<It is recognized, of course, that the word "day" can be used with a number of variations. It can have any of five meanings: 1) a period of light; 2) a period of 24 hours; 3) a general, vague time; 4) a point of time; 5) a year. The context determines which of these is intended by the writer. The English language also can have up to 14 definitions for the word "day.">>

Read the book of Enoch and a few of the other books in the Jewish Library. You will find they did not believe as much nonsense as the YEC and other fundamentalist Christians who did not go to college.

More loving thy neighbor?

Or more breaking of the commandments?

You just can’t help yourself. You have so much hate inside of you.

Why would I read discredited books that were rejected for inclusion in the Holy Bible?

You stick with your fairy tales and fraudulent books, amigo. I’ll stick with the Bible.

Sure, I looked at it, but not in any kind of depth ‘cause I don’t think it’s important and I found YEC to be too out there to warrant any kind of serious research.

More proof that you have not developed properly as an adult. Every disagreement is not hate and pointing out the truth that you are really very childish in your thinking, is not breaking any commandments..

You’re a very hateful and, frankly, immature person with your constant insults.

You’re full of hate and you lack self control.

And only a child would think “Do good works. Jesus will judge” is the message of the Holy Bible.

Your claiming I have the mentality of a child is classic psychological projection.

Buzz off, amigo. Go play with your Legos.

Thanks for the science lesson, skipper

Let’s say, as a thought experiment, that God created the universe exactly and literally as described in Genesis.

Would Adam and Eve be able to see the stars?

I'm not willing to concede the existence of Adam and Eve, even as a thought experiment.

Conceding the existence of Adam and Eve is less of a stretch than the concessions you’ve already made in being an atheist and in believing the theory of evolution.
