Still missing the evidence that Eden ever existed and the explanation for why humans were created without understanding of sin and then punished for sinning. Also I'm curious about if you have an equally bizarre and ad hoc exegesis of the flood.What do you think evidence of a garden 2/3 the size of North America would leave? What does Did Anything that 'organic' around that long ago and existed up till several thousand years ago leave? Oil. Lots and lots and lots of Oil, but because Death did not enter the garden till after the fall, no animals died which means no bones or fossils... Hmmm... the question then becomes do we have middle eastern expanse of Land that has lots of oil and no fossils??? (Which if you do not understand the implication of that You have lots of lush green fertile land, but no trace of animals.) Yes how about 90% of the middle east fits this requirement.
When you were 6 could you understand why it was wrong to commit adultry?
When you were 6 could you understand don't eat that, it may make you sick and kill you?
God did not punish them for 'sin' as they had no knowledge of it. They simply died before God.
Firstly, if God made all that oil, can you please tell me why he gave it to the sworn enemy of Jews and Christians? Islam was on the brink of being defunct until it found the oil.
Secondly, if the necessary conditions for fossilization were absent, what conditions would cause organisms to convert into oil? You make it sound like they drop dead and turn into oil. Or are you saying the flood turned Eden animals into oil and other animals into fossils? WTF are you talking about?
Thirdly, yes I knew right and wrong at 6. But Adam had no belly button (Did he have nipples? If so, why?) and was made out of dust. He had no knowledge of good and evil until he ate of the tree, then was punished for the evil act of disobedience?
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
