The question here is not whether Adam existed - it's whether there is some internal consistency to the Bible. 
If the Bible defines you as Adam, it is consistent in indicting you with original sin.

I don't recall taking credit for Newton's observation.
Newsflash: When you mention an author by name, in the context of citing his conclusions, it usually means you are giving due credit instead of plagiarizing.

I didn't accuse you of plagiarism. I accused you of false attribution. Newton offered incredulity. You offered arguments. Your case and Newton's aren't the same.

For good measure, let's quote Newton, thanks to Bel. To wit:

Quote:Tis unconceivable that inanimate brute matter should (without the mediation of something else which is not material) operate upon & affect other matter without mutual contact; as it must if gravitation in the sense of Epicurus be essential & inherent in it. And this is one reason why I desired you would not ascribe {innate} gravity to me. That gravity should be innate inherent & {essential} to matter so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum without the mediation of any thing else by & through which their action or force {may} be conveyed from one to another is to me so great an absurdity that I beleive no man who has in philosophical matters any competent faculty of thinking can ever fall into it. Gravity must be caused by an agent {acting} <7v> consta{ntl}y according to certain laws, but whether this agent be material or immaterial is a question I have left to the consideration of my readers.

- Isaac Newton

To wit, Newton was incredulous. Incredulity is not a valid justification for denial. Its conclusions are inconclusive. And that is all the farther Newton took it. Are you claiming you have only your incredulity to make your case?

Then Newton's take was a strawman. My position is basically a recapitulation of his stance.

Watch your step everyone, it's everywhere, and you don't want to step in it.

Correct. Why would Yahweh allow an innocent child to suffer?
And how could Paul be any more clear, when he said that we all sinned in Adam?

Glad to know where you stand.

You are a vile piece of garbage. A malignant tumor in a human body casing. You are the equivalent of the collective bubbling foam algae that forms on the egdes of sewage treatement pipes. I do not care one whit if you are a troll or not.

Do not quote me;  you will not be getting any further replies from me.

Anyone who wishes to continue to converse with this child rape apologist may do so, but do so with the understanding they are a virulent scumbag piece of shit.


NO CHILD DESERVES TO BE RAPED

I sincerely hope your hell exists because when you finally stop robbing the world of oxygen,  you will be festering in it.

You're not thinking it through. Let's suppose that Hitler, instead of killing himself, had the following alternative at his disposal:
An age-reversal capsule. 

Just before his enemies can nab him, he jumps into the capsule and transforms himself into a child to escape justice.

This is a man who killed 6 million Jews. Now he is child again. Should he get away scot-free? No. Does he deserve to be killed? Yes. Tortured? Yes.

Raped? Yes. 

I'm sorry you disagree with Yahweh's sense of justice.

If you do any of that shit to a pow that’s a war crime. Civilized countries don’t sentence people, even people who actually are guilty of crimes, to be raped to death.

You sure god is a barbarian rather than this idea of yours arising from your own moral failure?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
