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.
Their were several choke points where the 'enemies' of the Jews/God could have been totally wiped out, but "moral man" thought they knew better. God knows the events of what a given butterfly effect would have on humanity, and when He issues decrees it is because he knows what those actions will do long term. But self righteous 'moral man' thinks he knows better. So what better reminder than to allow 'moral man' to forever deal with the short shortsightedness of the self righteous as a perminate reminder of why one should indeed listen to God.
Quote: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?Plant matter is the source material for crude oil here. The Animals in the garden did not die. The animals ate the plants. The plants did die. After several hundred bazillion years. of untouched plant matter breakdown and leaching miles into the earth it cooks into oil.
Quote:Thirdly, yes I knew right and wrong at 6.Strawman. Not what I asked.
I ask if you knew of a specific sin and all of the ramifications of that sin when you were 6, that was incompareson to knowing the difference between you mom telling don't eat that you will die.
There is a layer of understanding when one willfully sins that is absent when one 'does wrong.'

Quote: He had no knowledge of good and evil until he ate of the tree, then was punished for the evil act of disobedience?
Again no. He was told if he ate of the tree He would die. He ate and then he died. He ceased being the type of being he was and thus could no longer live the way he lived.
