Did anyone stop to think that back in Noahs day maybe not every animal that we have today existed?


The beauty of being a Christian and believeing in God and His power is that things like this we just accept and move on because its beyond our realm of thinking. There are things and mysteries to which the human brain cannot even begin to comprehend - even with science.

It is at those things, which are called miracles, that our brains just shut off. Could any doctor explain why my blood mass disappeared and never showed a trace that it even existed? No. Science is like a computer. Its only as smart as the person who invented it. Therefore, what we can grasp is only what we can comprehend. God is far more than we can comprehend so many things we cannot grasp.


Its at that point that we believe by faith. Why? Because what good does it do to sit around day after day trying to break the mystery that either cannot be solved, or, if solved, has no bearing on the reason we are here to begin with? (To love God and everyone) You cant.

I find that most of these "mysteries" are natural hang-ups for humans because the answer exists beyond the capability of the human mind. Many things will never be answered and thats the way it will always be.



Like why The Edge is the way he is. We will never know why :P

He was locked a cage, surrounded by Batman paraphernalia, and lived on a diet of aged breast milk until age 11. Please be more considerate of his feelings.[:(]

If the bible is right, I really want to know how ADam and Eve started all this...

Let's see:
We have Adam and Eve.
then we have two sons
One of them gets killed by the other
so we are down to the parents and one child.

Ok, someone fill in the gap please.

Buster.

God made adam
Adam names animals.
Adam finishes naming animals.
Adam bored/horny.
God takes adam's rib.
God makes Eve.
Adam Like Eve.
Eve eat apple.
Eve tells adam about apple.
Adam partakes in apple.
Adam and Eve realize thier naked. (now, i don't know about you, but I would have taken the time to realize how kinky that situation must have been.)[:D]
God "walks" through garden.
God knowingly asks why they are hiding.
Adam says they hid because they were naked.
God said, how did yuo find out you were naked?
...... eventually they get to discussing the apple.
Adam blames it on the Eve. The Eve ist moy triste...
They get thrown out of the garden.
Adam must work.
Eve must give birth..... with pains.
Adam "lay" with his wife.
Create Cain & Able.
Able gives his best as a sacrifice.
Cain gives his 2nd best as a sacrifice.
God rewards able, but rebukes cain.
Cain pissed.
Cain grab a rock. Cain beat the crap out of his brother.
Brother dies....[:(]
First murder in the history of our world.... supposedly.
God asks where able is, Cain lies. He's sent to run about the world, never being able to stop.
More people have mirraculously sprung up, how, though, is unanswered.
Cain wonders about the world with a mark so that way no body kills him.

And that about sums up the story of adam and eve.

I'm racist against people from Retardikstan because they're terrorists.

According to the book of Jubilees, Adam and Eve had many other children, including girls, that were not directly mentioned in the book of Genesis. And there you have it... Cain's wife. This book is not an official work of scripture, but it is a possible way that it happened.

man this topic has been overthought soooo much. I think what everyone needs to do is ask themselves, "do I believe in God?" and if you do, read the bible, try to see what Christianity is about but don't take it word for word because, obviously, most people on here do and thats where it all gets wrong. If you don't, then I pray for you[:)]

^In addition to that. Read the Bible, Torah, Koran or another holy text that goes with your religion. There, now you're all politically correct.

Dont take it word for word? What kind of christian are you? Last time I checked you were supposed to take it word for word. If not, then you can just believe what you want to believe and only the parts that are good for you?

Thats what corrupting the church now, dont fuel the fire. Its the watered down variety that only does whats good for them and in turn theres no real change in their lifestyle and thats when others see all christians as being like that one person.


@Buster: Genesis 5 outlines Adams geneology. Its also explained later on too.

Who else? If you're the only people on Earth, you've got no choice. Would you rather have had him sleep with Eve? But, in any case, this is the reason why the book of Jubilees never made it into the Bible.

And Matthew 1 outlines Jesus' geneology (for the FYI of those who may seek to ask). However, I cannot believe the kids are still talking about this ... would you all shut up and go to bed please? Your mother and I have things we want to do as well.

(Whooops ... sorry, had flash backs ... you all sounded very familiar to me all of a sudden.)

I saw the movie a few days ago, didn't really care much about it tbh. This movie is overhyped and too much is being looked under it, see it for what it was meant to be seen, a depiction, not underlying messages and stuff imo.

Very true WWS. It was a movie, depicting events protrayed from the Bible. For some, they are emotionally charged meaningful scenes; for others they are a further excuse to redicule a man named Jesus of Nazareth. Either way, when death greets us (and death will greet you), we'll all find out which depiction should have been ... what was the word you used, "hyped"? [;)]

One time a priest took me in a confessional and made me close my eyes and suck the holy water out of a hose that smelt funny. Not much holy water came out and took a while, but the priest was happy. Anyone else ever have to do this? [?][?][?]
