What kind of question is that?
If I asked a college professor that, he'd probably say, "What?"
Could you restate your question, please?
I expect that kind of talk from an atheist.
And for the record, the only other two I would expect it from would be scientists and those not of the Christian faith.
Oh, I am sorry, I thought you knew something about Darwin's theory of evolution. I guess I was wrong about that. I will take that into consideration for future reference that people that claim to believe in Darwin's theory know nothing about it.Probably because this is an idea you made up
Science gives us tons and tons and tons of physical evidence for the Bible. Lets just forget everything that we have NO evidence for. Now tell me why you do not accept the scientific evidence for what we can verify is accurate and true in the Bible? Why are you so quick to reject Science when Science can verify the truth we find in the Bible? We have overwhelming evidence in every area of science to verify that the Bible is accurate and true. People can deny all they want to deny, but they will still be held accountable. SPOILER ALERT: Jesus conquered death, hell and the grave. He led captivity captive and we need to wake up and sing a song of Victory.Would the evidence of your senses have told you to be a Bible literalist.
1) I've never claimed to believe in Darwin's theory, so please don't put words into my mouth. What I believe in is the modern synthesis - it is to Darwin's theory what quantum mechanics is to Newton's theory.Oh, I am sorry, I thought you knew something about Darwin's theory of evolution.

So have you taken a college Biology class?What I believe in is the modern synthesis
Not that it's any of your business, but yes. Do you have a point?So have you taken a college Biology class?
Of course not.If you think Eden referred to the entire Earth, then where were Adam and Eve banished to? Neptune again?
Of course not.
Have you read Genesis 1-3?
God created Eden -- a supercontinent -- then planted a Garden in the eastern (Oriental) part of it and placed Adam there.
From there, He created Eve and brought her to Adam, and they got married.
As we like to say, God created the chapel that Adam & Eve got married in.
Later, after the Fall, they were banned from the Garden.
Your question implies that the Garden of Eden ... not Eden itself ... is what is called Pangaea.
(Or did you feign ignorance in order to get that little bit of ridicule in there?)
No -- supercontinent is just a descriptive term.Just out of curiosity, does the Bible refer to Eden as a supercontinent?
Link, please?And also, why are you so keen for Eden to be a 300 million year old supercontinent?
Try and find a like to where I said that, and your inconsistency should evaporate.Seems a bit inconsistent.
No, indeed.Although somehow I don't suppose that worries you.
No -- supercontinent is just a descriptive term.

No, indeed.
If you don't want to understand, that's your prerogative.Look, Pangaea is a 300 million year old supercontinent.
If you don't want to understand, that's your prerogative.
Just don't include me in your mental block.
Good.I understand perfectly. You've tried to co-opt the supercontinent Pangaea for your own ends and it's all gone a bit wrong.
I wish I could remember if you were one of those 30-year wonders (i.e., ex-Christian)
, then I could rub your face in it for not knowing that Eden and Pangaea should be the same.
Many people do not realize that the Eden we read about in the Bible was not the ONLY Eden. In China they have the Yellow River area. This is the Bio-diverse Ecosystem where rice grew wild and is now domesticated. Not only the grains, but also the vegetables or herbs in China are different from what you find in Mesopotamia in the Middle East.
We do not see flooding along the Euphrates River as much anymore. The area is over developed and the water is sold for profit. Today we do still see flooding in China, along the Yellow River. Flooding that has been going on for thousands of years. Still this is very productive futile land. The floods leave very rich soil where farmers can grow and produce a lot of food.

ETA: It figures. You've got a Secret-Sam profile; so I can't find a bone of contention to expose for ridicule. You're smart.

What, then, is Pangaea in the 'standard concept' of Christianity? Edom? Egypt? Galilee? Gaul? Tyrus?Because this is not in any stretch of the imagination, by any metric whatsoever a "standard" concept in Christianity.
Is Hell a 'standard concept' (basic doctrine) of Christianity?Not. Even. Close.
