antlers,

What then.?
I'm not sure what your answer will be, but I suspect after reading some of your positions you might respond with "the resurrection."

But I speculate here, and not wanting to put words in your mouth I respectfully await your answer(s).

And understand please that I'm not pretending to have a position, i am just putting the question to you out of interest.

thank you.

Christians are instructed to spread the gospel, so when discussions on the origin of the world pop up, we engage in these debates out of love for our fellow man and concern for their souls (even though it seems futile). I am not sure what motivates non-believers.


Understood completely. Which is why hopefully Christians will realize that Christ is a false god and following him is the pathway to hell. It is my love of my fellow man and my concern for their souls (even though it seems futile). I am not sure what motivates christians to follow a false prophet.

I pray for their souls.

Far out, what god is it that you are praying to? Where did you hear about him/her/it? What are the tenets of your faith? Sounds like you have a hell, too. What a coinkydink.

do not support a Christian God.

One has got as much chance of succcess praying
to what Christians call false gods.

Christians are basically saying their feeble imaginations

Thank you for a response.

Perhaps I wasnt clear.

And again, I am simply asking.

You and AS and the rest of the swine will just have to live with the fact that numerous Christians believe by faith the Holy Bible is the inherent word of God spoken through the prophets. You don't like it, too bad, and believe what you wish. just as I will do. Like I told the intellectually dishonest AS many times before, some day we'll see won't we?

Why do you carry resentment and personal grudges?

Is it knowable that a "soul" is a construct of human imagination? As are the many, many gods?

So, in a 24 hr stretch of time.....
1. God caused dry land to appear.
2. God caused plants to grow (actually sprout from the earth, so it began as a seed...... not a mature plant)
3. The seed sprouted and grew to maturity.
4. The mature plants produced new seeds and/or fruits.
5. Multiple generations grew and covered the earth.

All of that in 24 hours?


If you understood Infinite Intelligent Energy you would not ask such a limited question. This sure does not leave room for water life to produce land life. There is no compatibility with evolution and Genesis One.

Your premise is totally flawed. There's no such thing as a proto human. All these ethnic groups were and are descendants of Adam and Eve. It's racist to think otherwise.

Which evolved first? I think they were created first.

The college professor who discovered the granite rock creation was at the University of Tennessee in the 1980's. Don't remember his name.


Yet genesis specifies six literal days of creation, mornings and evenings.



It still specifies mornings and evenings, which is why it was translated as mornings and evenings and why that translation relates to the narrative of special creation.

Hebrew word "boqor" can mean morning or dawn, but generally can mean the beginning (or "dawn") of any length period of time.
Hebrew word "ereb" can mean sunset or night, but generally can mean the ending of any length period of time.

Read Psalm 90:6 In the morning it [grass] flourishes, and sprouts anew; Toward evening it fades, and withers away.

Do you know of any grass that sprouts in the morning and dies the same day? No, it refers to a period of time greater than 12 or 24 hour, much more.


Likewise, the Hebrew word "Yom" is translated as "day". The Hebrew word and the English word can mean:
8 hours- I work and 8 hour day.
12 hours- Daylight lasts 12 hours.
24 hours- a whole day is the length of time it takes for the Earth to revolve once.
4 years- Ie. "In my day, I was a great college football player. "

In the Bible, Yom, ereb, and bogor are used these ways, sometimes to mean morning, evening, 24 hours or any number of beginnings, endings, or time periods.

You actually don't have to go very far to see an example of this.....
Gen 2:4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.[color:#CC0000][/color]
Now, Genesis 1 refers to 6 days of Creation. Gen 2:4 says that it was 1 day (the day). If you are going to demand that Yom means 24 hours specifically, then what do you do with Gen 2:4? It calls 6 days "1 day".

No it does not always mean 24 hours., Yom can mean 24 hours or 24 years or 240 million years.

Given the context, the overall narrative, normal days 24 hour days is the only thing it can mean. The grass didn't need to sprout, it was created fully formed, the sun and moon where placed in the sky fully formed (the writer did not know the size or scale of the solar system or universe), Adam was not born a baby, but created fully formed, etc.....genesis describes magical creation, special creation, not evolution.

Many christians are hooked on the 'spirit' stuff,
But fail to address or even mention the condition
of the MIND. . that is mentioned many times in
scripture.

Hence why so many are adversely affected by
their disfunctional mental & emotional state.
but have told themselves they are just fine.

they start to believe its everyone else thats
got a problem, (ie) " it can't be me" attitude.

They revert to projecting their insecurities
onto others who don't buy their beliefs lock
Stock and barrel,. Some try to get nasty and
