Theodynamic evolution lacks a literal Adam & Eve. That is a big plot hole...

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I believe genesis must be taken literally, as Jesus did, as well as the apostles (and because, if one is to 'drop' the first genesis chapters, the question of sin, really becomes an open question)Only if you think that Genesis must be taken literally to get all the important doctrinal or spiritual truths from it. Fewer and fewer people of any degree of intelligence seem to think we HAVE to interpret it literally.
I have Asperger's, and I'm Christian. I do think that people with Asperger's in general are more likely to be Atheists, though. Many NTs believe in God but don't reflect that in their lives and don't think it's important - a highly illogical viewpoint. As such, Aspies in that position will tend to default to atheism rather than to Christianity. Christianity only makes sense if God really real, and then it should be followed passionately.
From my experience with people that have aspies they are strictly logical, rational and analytical. Those three features are the bane of religion. I could see them being atheist that would make sense.
The problem in Nazi Germany was not so much being 'too rational, logical', but that the core 'belief' was all wrong - that of superiority / inferiority. I think many people really believed this, because a slaughter of innocent human lives should be hard to execute to anyone -- unless you genuinely see them as a thread or somehow as 'not truly human'.I believe there's potential for ruin of humanity when things are too rational, logical, and analytical. All one has to do is look to the events of WWII, specifically Nazi Germany and the extermination of 6+ million Jews to see what happens when logic, analysis, and rational thought is taken to an extreme. People are reduced to numbers, labels, and statistical data. People are dehumanized and tools that come from rational, logical, and analytical works turn genocide into an easy assembly line process.
