Aside from this whole belly button thing, if Adam and Eve were the first folks having kids then who did their children marry. I know one of them was killed by the other and then he took off and had a family of his own, but if he did where did the other people that he met come from?

World is just one huge incest party. :D

the guy didnt ask for a dmand religious conversion sation...he just asked fro a simple vote.

This is why I hate topics like this..I've noticed is typicly the anti-creations people that start arguments, which makes the whole tread just a pure ****fest.

WHO ****ING CARES IF GOD MDE THEM? IT DOESNT MATTER TO THE TOPIC.

Actually it was the creationist who started this argument by saying how lonely and 'unfortunate' evolutionists or other are for being in a world with 95% religious/creator believers.

no, there was no umbilical chord so they didn't have belly buttons since they were created and not born.

i'll say it now cuz i won't be able to say it on that great day but...'told ya so!'

Coming from someone who has an avatar of a guy shooting another guy in the head, what 'great day' are you talking about?

Incest is a crime the whole family can enjoy! :p

Perhaps if you were a little more open minded to the existance of an impossible being? That's why they call it faith. It was people like YOU who took a fun little thread and threw it into the trash.

I hate to see threads go down hill also. Maybe if people were a little more sceptical, analytical and open minded to the possibility that an impossible being might not exist. Then everyone might get along better.

See, it works both ways.

I think the bible has historical value as using Egyptian and other historical texts, certain events have linked up well. This means that the bible can be a good source for study. I would have no problem assessing it for it social values also. I am a nice person though so I doubt I will be taking up stoning. (link)

So I would be quite happy to read the bible. Would the people here who think you are "open minded" be happy to read this book. Thought not. Who's not open minded now?

edit:hmmmm. The censorship changed the url. Just change the "*" to a "c" You get the idea.

And for the record, I never say I'm definitely right and I never hide behind a badge. Stop throwing around your baseless accusations.

Then...for the record, stop throwing around the word "obviously" to make it look like you have to be right and its just silly for anyone else to believe otherwise. Not a baseless accusation at all, the quote came straight from your post.

I said obviously because it's, um, obvious? Even the Church, while they don't teach it, accept the fact that it's probably not all accurate in the purely historical sense. What's your problem?

Maybe god gave them belly buttons so that Adam and eve didn't think there children were born with some weirdo hole in there stomachs and everything is normal.

You would think God made more then 1 couple though, like at-least 8 for a good gene pool since we all know if there is not a good amount of variety there can be genetic defects.

The Adam and Eve story to me seems made up but then so does the bible (to me) I think there is a much bigger picture then just us here and some divine god there are millions of other planets in the universe and allot of people here seem to think we are the centre of it all. If god made earth in 7 days then where did all them other planets come from, why even make planets outside our solar-system without any life on them. Scenery ? was god just a games developer with an eye for perfect realism?.

You be the judge I guess I just cant take it all with a pinch of salt.

Assuming Adam and Eve did exist and were created by God in the way described by the Bible, then I don't see why they would hae had belly buttons.

I said obviously because it's, um, obvious? Even the Church, while they don't teach it, accept the fact that it's probably not all accurate in the purely historical sense. What's your problem?

Well some people do believe in it literally. It isn't obvious to them.

It's a shame that this thread was jumped on and turned into a "Did Adam and Eve exist?" thread. I do not believe the Adam and Eve story, but I am not so autistic that I can't think about it in a hypothetical "assuming they did exist" way.

The thread starter could have been a bit smarter and used the words "assuming they existed, did Adam and Eve...." But there would still have been a bunch of people dying to go on about how Adam and Eve never existed so they can't possibly make a judgement about it.

Well, not my church, and not most of those around me. We believe that Adam and Eve existed. I don't know what the Catholic church preaches/teaches (as many Protestant churches don't agree with a lot they teach), but that is not true at all for Protestant churches by any means. I don't have a problem whatsoever, but I don't like you assuming that is must be inaccurate. It is God, and by all means, he does give us free will, but I will never be one who thinks they can pick and choose what is accurate and inaccurate in the Bible. I think the whole Word is truth and I will always accept it as that way. You can pick and choose out of the Bible if you want to suit your lifestyle, but I would rather believe and accept it all as God's word.

While I don't do religion, do those that do, and believe in Adam & Eve, realize that if the Adam & Eve story is true then we are all the result of incestuous relationships - which if my memory is right, is against anybodies laws/religions.

And as I don't do religion, then NO there were no bellybuttons as they aren't real.

correct, it is NOW...but you have to understand that the 10 Commandments and Laws didn't come into effect until many many years later. So at the time, there were no laws or religion because there had not yet been any need for them.

It doesn't matter when the "laws/10 commandments" were made, if you believe in Adam & Eve, we are still all from incestuous relationships. It doesn't matter when the "law" was brought in, we would still all be related (albeit distantly).

Right, and most any Christian who does believe the story does believe that way down the line, at some point, we are all related. Granted, it requires a little bit of faith, and unforunately, that is not something that runs to freely around this site.

I agree, I don't believe (although I want to in some ways), and won't until I have some concrete proof. My belief is that religion was created by man to keep man down. It is a set of laws laid down to keep everyone under some sort of control.

i said no because they didnt exist, it's all a myth

Exactly. They were created to explain evolution, which people thousands of years ago couldn't understand.

Evolution can't be proven either -- it's a theory. Just like how you can say Creationism is BS and all myth, I can say evolution is the same thing as well. You say creationism was a myth created thousands of years ago for people who does not have the 'scientific knowledge' to 'explain' the 'beginning of life' and/or 'human life', I can say evolution is a theory developed to deny the relation of humans and God. You can attack this point, I can deny that it the same way as you attacked it, and vice versa.

Whatever first proto-humans you want to define by the terms "Adam & Eve", they certainly had belly buttons. It is a byproduct of being born as primate and all primates have belly buttons.

Faith comes from God

Religion comes from men

In whom do you trust?

That's like asking, did Winnie the Pooh have a belly-button?

They're all fictional characters so who cares?

Evolution can and has been proven. It's observable in the natural world. You can't deny that Evolution happens, only how and why.

The theory of evolution is a theory about how evolution happens. That it happens in the first place isn't debateable.

but I will never be one who thinks they can pick and choose what is accurate and inaccurate in the Bible. I think the whole Word is truth and I will always accept it as that way. You can pick and choose out of the Bible if you want to suit your lifestyle, but I would rather believe and accept it all as God's word.

But the Bible was written by men, translated dozens of times by men, and is interpreted by men. So of course parts of it can be accurate or valueable while others are not.
