You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

What makes you think that Southern Baptist as a whole believe in the death penalty. That is personal decisions people make and not all Southern Baptist believe in the death penalty. DNA has it's limits when going back in time, so the evidence you so tout hasn't refuted Adam and Eve. personally I believe in the death penalty in certain cases, each case holds it's own merits. GC
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Now I'm convinced you are a childish idiot, I showed you a few post back that God wouldn't hold Adam to an evil act because he didn't know what evil was. You can argue this stupid stance till you die and it still want be the truth. I'm finished with you and your childish ways. Grow up please. GC

Yeah, grow up. A story involving talking animals and a magical tree is serious business.

It is obvious that you do not understand what free will is and will never know as long as your god has you under it's thumb. You believe faery tales are real and I am childish?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Adam and Eve is just a stupid misogynistic fairy tale written by people trying to explain their origins, not understanding things like genetics, or the fact that snakes can't talk.
Seriously. Just think about Adam just 'coming into being'. The development of language would have been impossible for him without another human being around. Adam: Hmmm... what's this thing that's going on with my mouth and my head? How do I know what these things are? Holy shit I'm freaking out here. Freaking out.... FUUUUUUUUCK Think about when he had kids. Adam: HOLY SHIT! What's that? Why are they so tiny!? I was never this tiny! YOU WERE NEVER THIS TINY! WHAT ARE THESE THINGS? I was expecting something a little bigger! We'll call him Cain. Okay Cain, go work in the field! Uhh... I don't think he's listening to me. Eve: Cain, go work the fields with Adam. Adam: THIS MAN DOES NOT LISTEN! Let's go have another one. Maybe the next one will listen. Cain won't even eat the food I give him.
