Creation/evolution3

[Drich]

It seems like you are explaining how a literal reading of the 6000 year genealogy in Genesis could coexist with billions of years of evolution.

I am pointing out how no time line between creation and the fall COULD have worked out.

As Nope pointed-out human culture goes back further than 6000 years, so that is a problem.

how so? Monkey man is human, (human descended from monkeys just like science says..) and existed outside the garden well before man made in the image of God was expelled from the garden.

Also, a literal reading of Genesis suggests that there is a garden of Eden somewhere on Earth guarded by four spiritual beings. There is no garden of Eden today, so you can't read that story literally. Why are you hung-up on reading the 6000 year genealogy literally when you can't read other parts of genesis literally.

Wake up and smell the coffee, Drich. If God exists, he can't expect you to lie to yourself IMO.

Who says there isn't a garden? If we literally look at Genesis we canes it is defined by 4 rivers, two of which we can identify today. When we look at a map we have an idea of how big and where the garden is.

If you look there now on a map you will see a massive desert sitting on top of the garden. This also explains why there are have been no fossils ever found in that region and the reason for oil under that region (the bio mass needed to produce those millions upon trillions of barrels of oil)[/quote]

Indeed. If the bible was true it shouldn't require such ridiculous contortions and twisting of reality to try and shoe horn it on. It should be clear. Especially if a freaking God wrote it or something.

Again the explaination is as easy as there is no time line between the last day of creation and the fall. "The crazy explaination" is only needed when one wants to encorperate the faith they have in science.
