You suck at metaphors. I don't. Here's a better one:
We meet on the street. You say to me "isn't my dog awesome?". I see nothing but a leash dragging on the pavement. I ask "what dog?". You shake the collar and insist that not only is the dog standing right there next to you, but that I'm refusing to accept that there's a dog standing right next to you. When I ask you to prove to me that there's a dog standing next to you, you ask me to describe the dog.
Given that I have no idea how to materially-describe a being that, by all appearances, exists only in your head, it's up to you to show me what you do have and then I'll decide whether that's enough to convince me.
Quote:The Garden needed an attendant according to Gen 2 (adam) The addendant is gone so too is the lush green garden. Flaming sword signifies heat so we are looking for some place hot, we know where 2 of the four rivers mentioned are (iraq) What is a massive tract of land in iraq that is very hot that could have facilitated this garden? the desert.
Way to not answer the question at all.
Quote:So what evidence that there was a garden of eden?
The known locations of 2 of the 4 rivers mentioned in genesis. the desert sands keeping anyone from entering it. the vast oil fields located under the desert that show there was one a tremoundous thriving biological source for all of this oil. The lack of any fosslisized remains in this area.
(Get a map and do some research before you give me a chance to make you look foolish. I did not say in dinosaurs were not found in iraq period. I said dinsaurs remains were never found in the purposed garden area.)
What do dinosaurs have to do with anything? The fossil fuels we use are, at best, a fraction of a percent dinosaur. The overwhelming majority of it comes from plant matter, which makes up a far larger total biomass.
Quote:Actually He first died the very day He ate the forbidden fruit, or rather his immortality ended that day. He began a new life when he left the garden.
Most of the translations have it as all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years. If he was immortal and lived for billions of years before that, then 930 years does not account for "all the days". But, I guess you know more than the authors of the Bible.
I knew you'd be dishonest and redefine 'death' in order to avoid conceding the point, but it's still disappointing.
