Paul teaches man was formed first. If evolution agree's with the bible man evolved first then women.I do not understand this sentence.
In Genesis's story? Yes.
Paul is talking about Genesis, not about a science textbook.Paul teaches man was formed first. If evolution agree's with the bible man evolved first then women.
1 Cor 15:45 also tells us man was alive before women..."Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit"
Paul is talking about Genesis, not about a science textbook.
To say that Genesis contradicts evolution is like saying that a Shakespeare play contradicts nuclear physics.No one ever said it was a science text book. What they have said is that Genesis...and the rest of the bible..contradicts your science text book. There are many groups of scientist who look at science and are marveled by the way it complements young earth world wide flood.
You can't be serious. That boat won't float.To say that Genesis contradicts evolution is like saying that a Shakespeare play contradicts nuclear physics.
I am. Genesis is not about "how it all happened scientifically", its a story of ancient Mesopotamian tribe. You are using it wrongly. To look for contradictions between their writing and todays science is silly.You can't be serious. That boat won't float.

Not sure what you mean. The Bible was written post-flood.
Your claim is there was no world wide flood.I am still not sure what you are trying to say.
There was no global, planetary flood. So? What does it have to do with Mesopotamian and biblical stories?
Lol, sure.I'm kinda done with your anti-biblical view.
Is this supposed to sound like Jesus, but without blaspheming?Sheeze,
"You shall not spread a false report."a few post back you called Genesis a pagan myth.
I do not believe what the YEC or undeducated people believe that the Bible says.I saw Christian by you name but you don't want to believe what the bible says.
"You shall not spread a false report."
Ex 23:1
linkGenesis is not a prophecy. Its an amalgamation of Mesopotamian worldview, a polemic with pagan creation myths and a bit of ancient semitic history.
The point/message is inspired, there is really just one true God, the creator of everything, who called Abraham to be his servant.
It seems like often you have to choose between science and religion. Why can't we utilize evolution/big bang as intelligent design by God?
I can't even fathom a literal six day creationist mindset. Time is relative based on gravitational pulls. You can put atomic clocks at varying attitudes, and they will all have a different "time". The calendar was just recently invented, most historical societies never had a seven day week. It amazes me that if someone says an structure is 5,000 years old, it is believed without argument. If you say 7,000 years, it's automatically laughed at as impossible, since Earth wasn't around that long.
It makes more sense to think of time as relative. A second may be a billion years, a billion years a second. Even with our limited knowledge, we can theorize that the universe and time is not so black/white, but multidimensional.
If everything was made at the same time, we're talking about dinosaurs and people co-existing. Fossil fuels just magically created, despite us knowing how they're made. All the evolutionary research on life discarded.
I really struggle with the omnipresence aspect and knowing all dimensions, past and future. Therefore, God would have known we would have "bitten the Apple", so to speak. Then to do the entire Old Testament, only to toss away all the laws for redemption in the New Testament. Is it fair that someone gets entire Hell because they lived in the Old Testament, versus Post-Jesus? That hardly seems fair based on the timeline.
If you have a problem distinguishing between:
People call that backpedaling.If you have a problem distinguishing between:
a) "Genesis is a polemic with pagan myths"
and
b) "Genesis is a pagan myth"
Then your credibility in other logical operations regarding understanding of a scientific text or of the text of the Bible is in danger.
If you have such problems understanding this simple thing, I wonder how can you understand more complex ones.People call that backpedaling.
You've associated Genesis with pagan.

Nice flame.I do not believe what the YEC or undeducated people believe that the Bible says.
So the Bible is full of errors?And I do not believe people who think that every word in the Bible was dictated and reject that it had also human authors.
