The Adam & Eve Myth - Origins

[Fake Messiah]

Are there extant texts showing parallels between the Babylonian or Sumerian texts and those of Genesis, specifically the first man and woman? Citations needed.

Well yeah some things are obvious. I mean if you look the movie "Star Wars" and then you watch "Spaceballs", and you know that SW is an older movie, you would be very stupid to conclude that "Spaceballs" invented all that stuff like the Schwartz, Dark Helmet, Yogurt,  Lone Starr and Barf, Schwartz-rings fights, but rather it is obvious to anyone with half a brain that the makers of "Spaceballs" took (stole) stories, elements, scenes, characters from Star Wars; as they did from other movies like "Alien", "Planet of the Apes", "Wizard Of Oz" etc. And then again Star Wars stole from other movies and books which stole from other books etc.

But I get what you're asking, you are wondering if anyone already did the job connecting the dots. There is a book written back in the 19th century by T. W. Doane called "Bible myths and their parallels in other religions : being a comparison of the Old and New Testament myths and miracles with those of heathen nations of antiquity"

Here's a link (it's a free book by now) http://www.gutenberg.org/files/31885/318...1885-h.htm

Here is what it says about 6 day creation

The Zend-Avesta—the sacred writings of the Parsees—states that the Supreme being Ahuramazdâ (Ormuzd), created the universe and man in six successive periods of time, in the following order: First, the Heavens; second, the Waters; third, the Earth; fourth, the Trees and Plants; fifth, Animals; and sixth, Man. After the Creator had finished his work, he rested.

After that he talks about the first couple.

I will explain as you missed the point ... AGAIN ... 

Your question  ... " how many year was it between adam and eve and the establishment of jerusalem? "

Mickey Mouse, like Adam and Eve were not born or from reality ... Jerusalem and Disney World were established in reality  ...

So the time between fantasy figures and real places is equally inconsequential

You may want to rethink what you wrote    The fruit is so low even I won't touch it

you don't want to touch it because you know I am right...

It is a hallmark for you douche bags to have an hold a canonical discussion trying to show God wrong through cannon. but when you fail or your knoweledge of God falls short you all resort to the argument you just did "well god does not exist anyway."

That's like having a discussion about what where darth vader's words to luke in ESB "Luke I am your father" Or Obi wan never told you about your Father... I am your father.

Now the discussion is not about darth vader outside of ESB it is about what the canonical discussion was between two people in a specific setting and what was or wasn't said. To have a canonical discussion demands you put away all other forms of reality, as you are discussing a specific world and a specific set of rules.

To loose a canonical discussion and then bring in another set of rules is fallacious reasoning. it over turning the game board thinking when you lost the game. Let's play monopoly, sure, oh you landed on my boardwalk again with 6 hotels! looks like you own me 10,000.00 (You: Those are not real hotels and that is not real money, so i don't owe you anything! turns over game board and leaves.)

Riddle me this sport if this fruit was so low, then why where you playing along up until the point where your ability use the bible to charge God failed you? Why did it matter in the beginning but when I took your exegetical nonsense and beat you with it, it is now and only now it has become such low hanging fruit?"


You got your teeth kicked in by a christian and now want to try and save face by pulling the i don't believe in God card... well too late douche you are all in before you pulled that card.

You got your teeth kicked in by a christian  

Are you using the same standards to qualify this assertion as you do to assert there is a God 

[Nay_Sayer]

The correct story is actually two cheeses Edam and Brie. From them all cheeses including the primordial dip in which his highest holiness, The name above all other names FSM dipped its glorious tendril in and sprung forth humans.

Drich fails once again with his plagiarised scribbling from false prophets and I fear I must now triple down on my prayers for him.

Bless. Ramen
