  1. So we start of with 2 people, apparently, and end up with every single race, from the africans, to the chinese, to the aboriginies, to the native americans

    does that mean from the original few people, the descendants of adam and eve gradually became these different races, in other words.. evolved?

     
  2. well the bible has the story of the tower of babble which talks about god changing their languages, and a lot of people who believe think that that is also where different races come from...i know its crazy but really the whole thing is...

    also when they were kicked out of the garden, they met other people...where the fuck did they come from if it was only Adam and Eve (and their SONS who got married....but how?)
     
  3. Well it was never meant to be taken literally. That's all that needs to be said.
     
  4. i mean i agree entirely that it ahouldnt be taken literally, but thats a rather bold claim to know the intent of the original writer(s)/compilers.

    an interesting question though op, i would like to hear what more strict religious folk think of it.
     
  5. Its all bullshit in my opinion.
     
  6. The stories have changed so much from the original that I'm surprised to see there is any truth in what is written. They have been touched by so many hands and tweaked, for good or self-serving purposes, by so many through the ages I wonder if there is any value in it at all.

  7. Tell that to the millions of people who do take it as literal haha
     
  8. most claiming to have it all figured out.....
     
     
    do have it figured out.... how to tell it to you to get you to think what they want you to think.....
    how they want you to think....
     
    most who think they "know"
    most who claim to be "sure"
     
    have limited themselves in ways they will never see....or understand....
     
    tho some....break free from these self imposed (often handed down) limitations...
    some do break free and grow
    break free and become
    there is always more.....
    to catch a glimpse and think you have seen the entirety of the universe...... is to miss out on everything you have convinced yourself is unreal....
     
    fuck following in someone elses foot steps.....
    make your own way...
    become the individual you are....
    grow....
    evolve.....
    if i make the most i can of this life ....and there is nothing more..... i have still made the most of what i did find myself to  have....
    if i make the most of this life.... and there is something more..... i have still made the most of this life... which in this case i have been given...
    i cant help but feel there is something more...... yet i cant help but feel 90% or more of what the people push in their books is bulshit....
    when i look at the world around me ... i see and feel something more in everything....
    yet it does not to me resemble the things i found when i did look in the pages of their books....or when i did listen to what they had to say....
    no i did not find in any of their words...no mater how much they thought they "knew" no mater how "sure" they were....
    i do not find in any of their words what i find...what i feel in all the world around me.....
     
  9. I believe that God is nature. We evolved from the trees, to plants, to fish, monkeys, then eventually humans. There is no man in the sky. There is no heaven, no hell, no Jesus. We were simply created by the soil of life. But I am not going to force those with religions, because they were brainwashed into believing that, so they won't think another way.

    I think my theory is right haha
     
  10.  
    Except when it was taken literally, for hundreds of years.
     
  11. Only a fucking idiot would actually believe this, if this was seriously true then the whole human civilization would be nothing but inbred freaks. 
     
  12. In terms of evolution we can say were pretty dam sure

    we know these for a fact:
    1.DNA determines the traits of an animal
    2.DNA sequences are passed down into the offspring of an animal
    3.DNA is subject to change(mutation through chemicals,radiation, misplaced genes)
    4.this change can be inherited in the next generation if the change happens in the sperm or egg cell

    all these points together is what evolution is
     
  13. just in case it wasnt clear......i ment those who think they "know" and are "sure" about things we can only feel from here...
    i was not at all pointing at things we can "know" not pointing to things which can be proven.... 
    i was referring more to those who think...and want others to think that they themselves have figured "it all" out and know the secreits of the universe....those who claim to know all about this creator and want you to believe what they think they know is all there is to know....
    something tells me you have an idea of the type of individual i speak of.....
     
     
  14. If you believe these fairy tales you are either mentally retarded or just believe everything you're told and can't think for yourself.
     
    Most of the shit in the Bible makes no sense whatsoever..like how Noah supposedly gathered a male and female of every species of animal and put them on the ark. Jonah being swallowed by a giant fish for days, only to be spit out on a beach and survive.
     
    Those are just a couple of the MANY stories that could not have possibly happened the way it was written in the Bible. The number of people who take this stuff literally is astounding.
     
  15. creationists make me facepalm so hard I nearly break my nose everytime.
     
  16. Doesnt having proof of something happening mean we 'know' it is real tho?
     
  17. Wait so Moses didn't part the red sea? :confused_2:
     
  18. even if you think people who believe in god are wrong that doesn't mean you have to be an asshole.

  19. i dont necessarily disagree.....
     
    tho it would be much easier ....if most of the "god" people were less assholish to deal with themselves.....
    not claiming this gives justification.....
    just saying this is how it is....
     
    the religious do a good job of separating themselves.....
    and in doing so.... many of them become assholes.....
    many of them are taught how right they are and how wrong everyone else is......
    how everyone who isnt one of them is wrong and going to burn in hell.....
     
    everything that goes into religious indoctrination/brainwashing makes many of them difficult to deal with....
     
    this does not mean everyone who believes in one god or another matches this description..... tho most "religious" people do give the rest a bad name....
     
  20. god damn that is too many periods.
