Let us try again. Is every person born today both:

a.) The special creation of God, and
b.) The result of a physical process lasting nine months.

If they are, why are divine origin and physical origin supposed to be mutually exclusive?
The way babies are designed to come about is not the way Adam was created. Adam was not just a special creation, but a created man made on a day that had evening and morning. Babies take many evenings and morning to grow and be born. Our spirits are created and formed in the womb, and when we get saved, we are a new creation etc. But that is not like Adam and Eve.

Strange, you don't seem to be able to answer any of them.
Respect topics.


Nope, Bible verses are not "God talking". You dodged a question of mine. Man wrote the Bible in case you forgot. And Eve is merely a fictional character in an allegory at best.
Scripture is God talking. You can't wave Eve away either.

Again, it does not matter. The angel did not speak of your Genesis myth.
Where else in the bible does it talk of creation? The bible is clear that God created the earth and heaven...start to finish. Trying to claim anything else is delusional.

You failed by assuming that he/she was yet there is nothing in that verse that leads to that conclusion.
? The angel was not yet there?

When have you ever done that?

"Eve" was refuted long ago with much more than a handwave. And no, there is no reason to think that scripture is God talking, even if you are a Christian. Second Commandment violation.

But Genesis is allegory at best. It really does not matter how the Bible portrays the creation story since it was not meant to be read literally if God is real.

Nope, the angel did not mention the myth in your quote. You failed again dad.

Actually, there is.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
But Genesis is allegory at best.
If it is allegory ... which it isn't ... then it is anti-Semite.

Whoa! How is it anti-Semite? And Thessalonians does not mention the Bible at all. It does not even mention "scripture". But thanks for trying.

Overruled. Rejected.

Jesus disagrees.

Creation in the bible always refers to Genesis actually. Calling the truth a myth just shows where you are at.

"2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"


In a revealed religion, you have to have the relevation somewhere. Without it, you are basically left with Deism.

dad, you always lose. You can't overrule. You can only reject for yourself, but then you only doom yourself to a life of ignorance.

Jesus disagrees.

Nope, you have no clue as to what Jesus thinks. Now if you want to claim that he was only a mere mortal man, as most atheists see him, then you can say that he believed in the flood and other myths. But if you want to claim that he was omnipotent the only way that he could disagree would be if he lied, and even when I was a Christian I did not believe in a lying Jesus.

Creation in the bible always refers to Genesis actually. Calling the truth a myth just shows where you are at.

Nope, that is only your uniformed opinion. Nothing more. And the Genesis account is a myth, so your last sentence makes no sense at all.

We can discuss why we know it is a myth, but you would have to promise to be honest.

It is written in black and white what He said and believed actually.

Says you, who could not support your flood doubts in any way. ..Don't bother pretending you did either...you can't post it.
And the Genesis account is a myth,
Says you.

No. You failed for years to rationally produce any evidence or case against it. Now anyone that pays attention knows you just blather on and on without ever doing anything else.

By man and interpreted by man. Your interpretation is no more valid than anyone else's and probably far less valid.

That is a false claim. I have supported my flood claims countless times. I got tired of your inability to be honest and required you to run through an explanation with me. You ran away. It looked like you were scared. It appears that you are still scared.


Says you.

Wrong again dad, more breaking of the Ninth Commandment. Doesn't that worry you? I am still willing to help you to learn, but I am betting that you will still run away.

Much more than yours ever will because I have something that you don't have.

Go find the post.

Do you see what a ridiculous demand that you made?

Step up to the field of battle and face what comes.

I already have. You ran away. But once more let's discuss this picture and how it tells us that there was no worldwide flood of Noah:

Or we could discuss this video:

Let's discuss what you see there. Can you see the meander?

It is pretty hard to miss.

Do you know what a meander is?
