Yep, it is ridiculous to assume that two people with three sons populating the earth with humans didn't have belly buttons.

Let me see, you're saying that God could create Adam from a lump of clay and Eve from a rib of Adam, but He couldn't create them with belly buttons. Is that right?

Where did the three sons get there wives? Maybe there is a theologian here who can tell us.

Could be or maybe it's allegory contradicted by all available evidence.

"Good enough" isn't.

How the heck do you remember all that stuff?

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

Not correct to assume that Adam and Eve only bore three sons, more likely since humans in those days lived much longer lives, of ten hundreds of years, that there were many children, both male and female.

God only reveals to us what we need to know concerning salvation through Jesus. All will eventually be revealed when we get to heaven. Faith man, Faith.

I have nearly the same system but mine looks like this.

� Write it down some place.
� Remember that I wrote it down some place.
� Try to remember where I wrote it down.
� Try to find where I wrote it down.
� Find (now 'n' then) where I wrote it down.
� If I find it either can't read my own writing or figure out my spelling or both.

oh, he could, he could, if he wanted to? he could create Sasquatch, Chupacabra, and the Loch Ness Monster if he wanted to. he can do anything.

but, i'll match ya, and raise ya one, if that's ok? even if there wasn't a God, we humans would create one if we wanted one enough. Allah, Yahweh, Jesus, Buddha, Ra, Odin, you name it, it's appeared on the road to travel with us at one time or another.

a lot of the old gods have been knocked in the head, and have been rolled down to the bottom of the ditch on side of the road. i hope my God and your God doesn't meet that fate. wink

Any sulfa drug you rx can kill someone by causing Stevens-Johnson's syndrome. I have thousands of things like that written down all over the place and couldn't find most of it on a bet.

Not pointing at anyone specific here but as a general rule

- The more someone flaps their lips professing to be something the less I believe 'em

And that goes for myself as well

And humans have for many centuries tried to do so.

But forming wishful or hostile opinions and theories re gods is a long way from creating actual gods. No one can create anything that'll be greater than himself in all regards.

I can't remember even one science-fiction fantasizer who ever created any of the critters and superheroes that he fantasized.

Men have also be claiming to have found the true God for eon's, but some many of them then started applying God's laws with the minds of men

Doubt it. What you see in your examples is more likely a result of God creating a spiritual vacuum in man that can only be filled by Himself; those who don't come to him in truth simply seek another way to fill that vacuum. If there was no maker/God, there would be no need for man to 'invent' a god.

Literally, no... not like Peter.

Figuratively, every person who believes a God hears and answers them feels instructed.
