    It surprises me that no one on this forum would realize that the "genesis" of the term "mother fucker" could be literal as well as metaphorical.:)

    I've read that at the time the bible was written, no one would have cared if Adam and Eve also had daughters. If all men are brothers, can they marry their sisters?

    Either way, there is creationist incest going' on somehow.

    The Children of Adam and Eve, were allowed to marry because the human genome was perfect, however, as time went on the human genome became more and more corrupted due to constant replication. When the Law of Moses was given, they were forbidden by God to marry their sisters, relatives, because God realized that the human genome was becoming corrupt and by interbreeding with close relatives, you multiply these bad genes. That's why man no longer marries relatives.

    Several of my best rabbinical teachers, my father first among them, have noted (in nearly identical terms) that if one is attempting to use the Bible as a textbook of biology, cosmology, geology, other sciences, or even as a serious work of history, then one is misusing the Bible and missing its point.

    The same can be said, to only a somewhat lesser degree, of reading the Bible over-simplistically and literalistically, and attempting to treat it as a single, unified work of monolithic theological agenda, rather than as a compendium of related works with varying and evolving theologies and philosophies whose authorship likely spans a millennium-- if one includes the time-spans of the presumptive ur-text sources upon which the final redactions were based.

    But how does the Neanderthal DNA fit into the story?

    So you're telling me that your god created something perfect. But when used as intended, to replicate, it became corrupt and imperfect. So really, god did not create something perfect. Supposebly your god is perfect. This proves he is not. Also, if your god is supposebly the alpha and the omega, then he already knows everything. So it would be impossible for him to realize something. Because for him, everything is already realized. So logically, your god really is not a god. He is just another myth.

    Pffft, I'm counting on that.
    A seven year old today told me that Cavemen didn't have pets. Because they WERE pets. Because they evolved from monkeys. And then kept evolving into us.

    One of the quotes from a long ago 2-year-old charge that persists to this day, regarding evolution: "I'm not an animal!"

    Seriously. Imagine a diapered toddler on the floor wailing that. So funny.

    I find that some are a bit squeamish about the idea that humans are animals that are basically apes.

    Certainly we are cousins to the apes.

    And if you meet my family you will realize how true that statement is....

    I am constantly astonished by the treatment of biblical texts as pure history, biology, cosmology, etc. It is none of those things. The shepherds of 3000 years ago can't compete with the scientists of today.... and the number of bible thumpers who think that the bible has always existed in exactly it's current form. Maybe they should bone up on their history a bit....

    NOVA | Origins of the Written Bible

    To me, the bible is a collection of mythologies. Many see it as a mostly allegorical religious work; an attempt to document a theology that changed and evolved over time.

    But history and science it is not.

    You can have the virgins. I'll settle for some ladies with experience.

    I was about to say the same thing. If I'm going to be rewarded with a passel of love slaves, I sure don't want to have to spend time teaching them how my junk works before we get to have fun.

    Virgins are for moulding. Where you see 76 virgins, I see 76 distinct sexual fetishes.
