I have no difficulty in accepting that the whole of genesis is useful as parables and as teaching aids. However I would suggest that it was compiled from folk law stories circulating from the distant past. And has no historical accuracy. Nor was it intended as any form of prophecy.
None. Fictional arcs contain no real animals.
Only a tinyl proportion of the world's animal have ever existed in the middle east, around mount Ararat. how were animals like kangaroos supposed to have got there.
There is no need to disprove the "FLOOD" there is no actual evidence of a flood for anyone to disprove.
Like the creation story, it is just ancient folklore rolled over into religion. You can not prove or disprove such myths and false beliefs.
However the. total lack of positive evidence for a...
The idea that science can be compartmentalized into little boxes of individual sciences has long been shown to be not true, every area of study is interconnected with many others. Usually shown to be linking back to particle physics.
The processes of Evolution are still being studied and are a...
People only do what is in their interest to do.
That can be either the stick or carrot, or a combination of the two.
Without such an incentive they tend to do whatever pleases them or nothing at all.
Of course they "could" but there is no evidence that they have, or even want to.
I also doubt that they could have any significant influence over the results.
When you look at their relationships and trade around the world, there is no detectable difference between how they treat political...
RUSSIA Is the one major power with the strongest anti LGBT legislation and policies.
World wide both the socialist and the right wing are split on the issue.
It can not be ascribed to international communist policy.

The USA is paranoid on the subject.
As poth parties are now substantially anti Chinese, there is no reason for China to waste any time, energy or money on trying to influence the election in...
It is an international day. How could the USA change it unilaterally.
This whole thing is fake news. Easter day rarely falls on the 31st of march so this is not a thing.
Biden neither changed the date nor Easter. It was just chance that they coincided this year, for those following the western...
The same natural fibres would have been available then as now. Including fine bleached linen, course natural linen(flax). Camel hair. Goats hair, sheep's wool an cotton. Some places used stinging nettle to produce a linen like fibre. Fine fibres like rabbit make the finest quality felt. Not...
A similar question is what are the irreducible "Events" Rules" necessary to cause a functioning universe to come into existence.
Are they the same for all universes.
I believe that the teachings of Jesus can lead to an excellent way of life.
However Christianity nor any other religion can give any such guarantees.
However I doubt very much that there is a God as represented by any religion.
It is true that many scientific advances have been commercialised by American companies. But the original inventions are more often from other countries or by foreign born scientists.
Of more recent times China has become a leading player in research and development.
Especially in...
Surrender in this case means Russia will move on to attack the next country in line. This is what Germany did until the UK stood up to them.
Where do you think Russia will stop. The more countries. It takes, the easier it gets.
Be very afraid. Appeasement never works.
My own views are closer to Christian Unitarianism. Which has nothing to do with Protestantism. And is the antithesis of Trinitarianism as understood by orthodox, Roman Catholics and Anglicans or any of the protestant churches.
The Non-subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland, is perhaps the...
