Again, if you don't know what it is your talking about read it, quote the part you
are confused about if you want someone to address your concerns. If you spout
off about an error that isn't there....no one is going to worry about your concerns.

I have read it,and discussed it with our local priest! I was interested to see how you would redefine the text in order to protect your somewhat tenuous position! Man was created innocent ,how can he be creative without knowlage?Go back and read the posts with RJ and you might see the point we were getting at, that in what possible respect did your god make man in his own image?????????

With respect,
"Hang on,when man was first created he had no knowlage ,he needed that apple didn't he? Couldn't have been very creative when god made him then!"
This was what I was refering to, your conversations between your priest and
RJ are between you and them. I'll field any question you want to bring to me, but
if you are going to say there is an issue with how scripture is written please
quote it here with the version you are reading it out of.

The question was directed to RJ not you.Which is why you did not not understand the context in which it was framed.

I can see that, but at the same time...you worded it poorly because that was
not how it occurred. I've read the full context your questions, they appear to be
from one in my opinion that either has not read the text, or completely didn't
bother to read with the intent of seeing the context of each event, which is what
your saying kind of saying I have an issue with when it came to your question.

You have to remember that RJ is a creationist and therefore takes the bible literally . Discussions with this gentleman are a little different with him as there is far less room for biblical interpretation .

You do not seem to understand that God told Adam not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam still had creative knowledge as well as knowledge of a language to talk to God and to name those animals that God brought before Adam to see what Adam would call them. Also, Adam still had life without eating the fruit of the tree of life, but not eternal life.
Disobeying God, by eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, opened their eyes to the knowledge of evil, selfish desires that were contrary to what is good. Sin was revealed to them for the first time and now they knew the difference between good and evil.

I'm a young earth creationist, I also take the Bible very literally which was why
when you misspoke about the story I called you on it. I believe this is a matter
of faith not science, I believe science is completely blind to how everything got
here.

Mostly imaginary I feel. Like Goldilocks and the 3 bears.
I can tell you a story about the birth of my kids, that would be a true story...
me relating to you an account of what happen. If you wish to not believe do
so, but stop attempting to say it isn't true for reasons that have nothing to do
with the truth.

You dismiss science when convenient and when it contradicts your faith based beliefs.Yet when you need medicine ,energy,house,car,Internet ,food etc science becomes important. A person can live without your bible (billions do ) you cannot live without the benefits of science ! With reference to the creative process I would suggest it is far more productive within the entirety of human experience as opposed to just "innocent" imaginings .
