No longer a theistic evolutionist! I've been convinced!

Well sort of. THIS earth might be young, the Eddas don't indicate how old it is. But since time is cyclical, who knows how many times the Ragnarok has washed away the earth only for it to spring back into life anew? It's one of the great mysteries that we'll never know until we sit by Odin's side in Valhalla and ask the great alfather himself.

You are one poetic Poe

I myself prefer the Ainulindale when it comes to creation myths. I like the idea of being music.

 

[troodon]

I believe virtually everything I read.

 

[Doveaman]

myths and legends are probably really REALLY exaggerated accounts of real people and events.

I agree, including the planets - Symbols Of An Alien Sky - Selection 1 0f 3

Heck yeah! One of the best creation stories out there! I also like the part about how the earth used to be flat but now it is "bent" as a punishment for man's arrogance in trying to reach Valinor. Epic.

This was an entertaining thread until you let Ascythian in on the fact that you weren't serious.

It is in your best interest to hand over all of your money to me, as well as the monies of everyone you know. For this you will be greatly rewarded.

Programs, I've got your Programs here.
You can't tell the Poes from the Trolls without your CF Programs.

The sad thing is that the Poes usually try to sound pretty ridiculous, and people still think they're creationists. Says something about how creationists present themselves. I've been Poeing, making up the silliest thing I can think of, and had creationists say 'Oh yeah, i agree with that.' lolwut

Do you have a laptop? If so, you should take it under a bridge and make all your posts from there. Then being a troll will come naturally!

OK, let's adjourn this nerd convention, shall we?

I guess I should explain, I don't think that Odin, Vili and Ve are all GODS in the same sense that Christians mean it. They were not uncreated creators. In fact they are mortals. The only thing that has kept them alive for this long is Idunna's apples of eternal youth (the garden of eden?).

Odin and his brother were created from the sweat of Ymir as Audumbla the cosmic cow licked the salt from his body. Now, who created Audumbla and set Ymir in that giant block of ice? The God of the Bible of course!


The Eddas and the Bible can coexist.

Audhumla licked a salty rock, and upon it, over the course of three days, grew the first man, according to the material I have read.
