Hello, everyone!
Clearly I am new here.
I am a Christian who does take Genesis literally. I know a lot of you will think this is a contradiction to my last statement but I really do love science too (I deal with issues in science every day in my occupation).
Why am I here? Well, I have some arguments/reasoning that I have been mulling over lately and I don't have anyone close to me who thinks differently from me to challenge me, so I figured this might be a good place for that.
Why did I choose this forum? I looked at a couple of atheist forums and found that this one contained more civil and constructive discussions than the rest.
I guess that is it for now!!

Welcome to the forum. No relation to our own rjh are you?

Open up a new thread and start firing away with the questions and I'm sure you'll start a lively debate.

A good start might be why you think Genesis is literal truth, which it so very obviously cannot be

Welcome to the forums. Thanks for the compliments We try to keep things as civil as possible around here, but don't expect many of us to go lightly on you. You'll find a lot of us (Christians included) will disagree with pretty much everything you say

I know. That is what I would have expected and I am Ok with that. And I certainly do not expect that my views on things will change anybody's mind nor do I expect my own view to change. I just think that it is difficult to see flaws in lines of argument without running things past someone who disagrees with you. (And I am talking about myself, not anybody else.) So I actually look forward (at least now ) to hearing the reasons for disagreement (once I actually post something substantive).

A warm Welcome then you delusional fool!

Look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome to the forum rjh4,

Wow, literal interpretation of Genesis huh? Brace yourself!

This site is fun and we all try to play nice...

...for the most part.

I, for one, am looking forward to reading any thread you start up. Welcome. And by the way, the discovery of Ardi kinda throws a monkey wrench into Genesis. JMO.

Ardi?

Welcome, enjoy your time here Maybe you will learn something about Genesis here

Welcome! Brace yourself...

I love Genesis, particularly when Phil Collins took over from Peter Gabriel.
