Evolution/creation 2

I think the flood did occur. It rose up and closed over the heads of fundamentalist, depriving their brain of oxygen, leaving the results you see in Drich.

Which, of course, means that all monkeymen were red-heads. Ahh...but gingers are here now, and it is a well-known fact that they have no soul. Since they obviously did not descend from Noah (or else, of course, they would have souls), I guess that pretty much shoots a big hole in your flood story.

<-ginger, from a long line of gingers, with ginger children. Thankfully I escaped the flaming red hair. My soul-less-ness would explain quite a lot, you know, except that it doesn't.

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.

It means senseless talk or writing  Quote:Am I missing something do you know of a study or something that ties souls to genes? It is my understanding that souls simply indewell bodies, and are tied to them so long as they live. No, but because everything else in the human body is strongly connected to genes, I can't see why there suddenly would be a part that has absolutely nothing to do with them. As I said before, I did this to humor you, not because I took your OP seriously. But, since you're allowed to bullshit and fabricate fantasy, so am I. Could you be so kind as to give your thoughts on the dilemma if the soul indeed was connected to a particular gene and if it is recessive, how a believer with monkey man ancestors could have any hope as to be saved? Quote:Evidently none since monkey man developed without one. Not just monkey man, dearest. Hate to burst your bubble, but all human beings developed without one 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
There may have been a flood in the Caucasus around the time of Noah, but no evidence that A) he existed or B) it was worldwide. Also, what's to stop noah or one of his ancestors being illegitimate, seeming as everyone was so evil?
Also, why did god decide to make two of one random species on Earth have a soul? Unless you find a way this hypothesis can be tested and shown to make accurate predictions, or you can find records (fossils etc.) that corroborate the same, I suggest we agree to file this under the category of unsubstantiated bullshit.
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien

I think everyone should look at this post from Reddit. In the second half of it, there is a wonderful explanation of how Homo Erectus interbred with other proto-humans to create the ethnicity we are familiar with today. Semi-relevant. The rest of the post is also very interesting. Neanderthals were not idiots.

Another thing that came to me these lines Drich, why do you feel the need to reconcile your creation narrative with the fossil record but not the geological record? The two are pretty well tied at the hip. Why is genesis "otherwise irreconcilable" -your opinion, not mine, in the case of the fossil record but not in the case of the deluge and the geological record? Shouldn't you be coming up with some creative extra-biblical "explanation" for the flood narrative as well? Matter of fact, since we're doing this, there's quite a bit of your narrative that you may want to re-write.....
