I shall start by stating stuff that most people should know, even if they have never read the bible, so that I can hopefully illustrate my point correctly.
God created Earth.... God got bored, created Man in his own image and called him Adam.... Adam got lonely, God created Woman, using a rib from Adam and called her Eve.
God created everything about them both, from scratch, so that the way that they thought and acted were both his doing, because God is 'great' and created EVERYTHING.
So he must have given Adam and Eve the abiblity to be tempted right?
If this is the case, why did he throw them out of the Garden of Eden? I mean if God is 'all seeing', 'all knowing' and did indeed create everything then why did he not see Eve being tempted by the serpant to eat the forbidden fruit and then in turn tempting Adam, as he must of created the serpant as well.
This is in the first 'chapter' of the Bible, so even before it started to get anywhere it has shot itself in the foot.
Also if we had decended from Adam and Eve there is another problem :-
The only offspring I recall them having were male which means that breeding must have been a bit difficult and involved lots of parent/child incest at best, not least considering that one of the sons murdered the other.
If the Bible was correct then that would mean that we are all inbred and we all know the side effects of inbreeding after just one or two generations let alone 1000's of years worth.
How can anyone really base their life on a book that has such glaring errors (such as these and many others that I can't be bothered to recount at this time)?
Science has shot many holes into many religions.
Many differing religions have been responsible for some of the biggest genocides in history (oh no I'm being sexist again!!!!!). Even today, just look at Northern Ireland, the Protestants and Catholics hate each other to the point of killing and their religious beliefs are only slightly different, just different intrepretations of different parts of the same book. It is just plain stupid, and you would have thought they would both understand the bits about tolerance(The good Samaritan) and killing.
Anyway that's enough for now.
Thank's for listening again.
See ya laters.
