But if we got rid of the Torah, what would we argue about?Fatmop said:It seems like you could move from not taking some of the Bible as literal truth to just throwing it out altogether... why not?

Thread duely reported.Evolutionary Thinking and Race
damn, i thought i included them! well, since appolo was so far away from America, but not as far away as Asia, you only got tan skin instead of being unscathed, blinded, or scorched. there you are. and it was Appolo's son that was zooming around like a fool because he couldn't control the sun horses.painted wolf said:you don't throw the bible away because it is a collection of tales to instuct one on a cultures way of living a good life... it doesn't HAVE to be literal truth to provide meaning.
anyway, Fat Kat... you skipped my people in your little tale.
Naturally we Native Americans were first and the white people just got scared by seeing Apollo zooming around like a fool. :biglaugh:

Have you heard the story in the Bible about the tower of Babel?In my opinion,that could have been where it started.I'm not against evolution after creation.I'm against evolution as the creator of our universe.Something can't come from nothing.That's how it is.AtheistAJ said:You Christians and Jews (and some others) believe god created two people first, Adam and from his rib Eve. Well if god only created two of them how come we have so many different races now? Did he create them all later for some reason? Why is it that some of you find evolution so hard to believe in when we all came from one-celled organisms before our own eyes (seamen)?
God gets afraid of the ability of people to accomplish anything and so sabotages them bringing melennia of suffering? Yes, I know the story.Have you heard the story in the Bible about the tower of Babel?
Where what started? Is your opinion supported by any factual data?In my opinion,that could have been where it started.
Me too. Are you aware of someone who believes that the universe was created by evolution?I'm not against evolution after creation.I'm against evolution as the creator of our universe.
So where did God come from?Something can't come from nothing.That's how it is.
It's actually a rather underwhelming question in my opinion.AtheistAJ said:Nobody touched this thread in days because they can't provide an explanation to the last question above.
I have thought about that. Have you noticed that the hotter the enviroment the darker a persons skin will be. Well after they started spreading out over time their bodies began to darken with the enviroment that they were in. ( I forget the name of it, but there is a chemical that darkens your skin) And over time I guess this just became a gene that was passed down after so many generations and generations. And I do not see how something can be without an intelligent designer. You will look at a computer and would not think that it just was there and no one created it. So then why would you believe that about us.AtheistAJ said:You Christians and Jews (and some others) believe god created two people first, Adam and from his rib Eve.

The way I heard it, it involved a chicken and an egg. Now how did that one go?AtheistAJ said:Nobody touched this thread in days because they can't provide an explanation to the last question above.
"Can't have something from nothing."
- "What about Jehovah?"
- "Well you gotta have something!"
- "You gotta have Jehovah to have something?"
- "Enough already, that's different! :banghead3 :banghead3 :banghead3 "
That is where different languages came from. Apparently God didn't want everybody to get along. But races and languages are apples and oranges.Matt10:34 said:The races come From the Babel Crisis in Genesis Chap 11
I think this might explain better of what Matt10:34 was referring to.scitsofreaky said:That is where different languages came from. Apparently God didn't want everybody to get along. But races and languages are apples and oranges.
The first created man, Adam, from whom all other humans are descended, was created with the best possible combination of genes for skin "color," for example. A long time after Creation, a world-wide flood destroyed all humans except a man called Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives. This flood greatly changed the environment. Afterwards, God commanded the survivors to multiply and cover the Earth (Gen. 9:1). A few hundred years later, men chose to disobey God and to remain united in building a great city, with the Tower of Babel as the focal point of rebellious worship.scitsofreaky said:That is where different languages came from.

Which skin color is the best anyway?The first created man, Adam, from whom all other humans are descended, was created with the best possible combination of genes for skin "color," for example.
