Believing in creationism is a sin

Doesn't matter all that much, the notion that god created all men is meh, the people who bandied this narrative around were more likely only talking about their own people. Cosmic ethnocentrism. Not that this would rescue the narrative, as we could still find the mark of such a special and recent creation relative to the rest of us.

I wasn't aware that "sin" had any effect on biology, have you told anyone about this, are you prepared to collect your nobel prize? No, of course you aren't, because this statement was utter garbage that you aren't prepared or capable of elaborating upon in any way. It's a bumper sticker, a slogan. In any case, it wouldn't matter, assuming you're of the opinion that god created the first humans/all humans it's still incest, if the gene pool was "nearly perfect" (wtf does that even mean?) it would just be "nearly perfect incest". Lay aside that we don't see any "degradation" of our genetics over time (wtf does this mean -to you- anyway) - and this might blow your mind - but we can actually track these sorts of things......

Quote:I did not impose my interpretation on God's word, I was taught this and it is a teaching of most of the church that believes in creation and has been for thousands of years. I asked for your interpretation not to criticize, I wanted to know what you thought.
Taught by the same person that told you that sin had an effect on biology, or that "nearly perfect gene pools" existed and had some effect on incest, or that our genetic makeup has degraded over time (to whatever nebulous end-), or that this narrative had anything to do with the origins of man or his environment?

My thoughts, you needed a competent teacher. You got shafted.

Quote:Sorry, did not mean to upset you and did not mean you can't say whatever is on your mind. So many times in the past others would jump past the assumed position so they could give the answer (well it did not happen) because they had no real answer to a question. Again sorry for the misunderstanding, my fault.

The irony is so thick you could spread it on a waffle. You're demanding that people avoid mentioning that it's bullshit because -you- cannot demonstrate otherwise, end of. Nevertheless, we can assume that created men were poofed into existence by creative gods and the evidence available to us does not line up with the narrative you propose as an explanation or account of that event. Not only is it a non-event, it can't explain the very event the narrative asserts. Epic fail.
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. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. 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!
