The family of Adam and Eve

[naomi24]

The theory of the evolution of man is the product of science at its most ridiculous. Adam and Eve were two adult human beings created by God just after he created the universe. They were the first and only people on the planet, and they were the forebears of the whole human race.

So how do creationists account for the diverse physical appearances of the assortment of peoples inhabiting the earth today? It stands to reason that most of them do not bear a family resemblance.

Yes but Birdie, the Prophet (piece be upon him) did it, therefore it is morally ok to have sex with nine year old.

But Mohammed (pbuh) didn't drink, therefore it is immoral to drink.

See, Islamic morality is simple.

Mohammed (pbuh) wrote the book therefore he (pbuh) is perfect. The perfect man (pbuh) wrote the book therefore the book is perfect. The perfect book was written by the man (pbuh) therefore he (pbuh) is perfect.

The speaker in Birdie's video link talks of marriage contracts between men and young girls - some as young as one year. He says there is no lower age limit. He then asks 'Is the girl ready for sex or not?', and 'What is the appropriate age for having sex for the first time?'

Answer: 'This varies according to environment and tradition'.

No mention of the little girl then? Why am I not surprised?

This post is going way off subject, although I can see the route.... BTW Cain and Abel are supposed to have gone forth and married women from outside the Garden of Eden area, so although A&E were the chosen couple, there were obviously shedloads of people elsewhere in the area who weren't mentioned in the original story. No mention of anyone lying with their children, not in the Garden of Eden story. You're making this bit up.

Boxy, who's making it up? It's what religion teaches. If Adam and Eve were the first and only two people on earth, and parents of all humanity, then logically incest must have occurred many times. That's the only possible way the human race could have arisen.

However, although that's what religion teaches, it isn't what the bible says. The earth was populated before the appearance of Adam and Eve - so you're quite right - there were other people around. We know there were certainly people inhabiting the Land of Nod (wherever that was!), because that's where Cain found his wife. (As far as we know Abel didn't marry anyone - he was already dead).

Yes naomi - that's my point. The fable of A&E being the only two is not borne out in the Bible - it's taught, but not in the literature.

[naomi24]

Boxy, so who's making it up? It can only be religion.

[boxtops]

IMO, the religious leaders who put it about that there was nobody else, only A&E.

[naomi24]

No, not religious leaders - religion itself. All Abrahamic religions concur with the doctrine.

[boxtops]

...but it's not in the Bible, the Bible refers to those other people, so those who teach that there was nobody before A&E are misguided.

[naomi24]

Therefore religion is misguided.

Surprise surprise, my answer was removed.

I just expressed my revulsion of these Muslim laws and cultures.

They really do disgust me and every "normal" person in the civilised world im sure!!

[RATTER15]

Thats the problem with the Bible Boxy, it contradicts itself over and over, this is just one of the reasons it is so unbelievable and ridiculous.
