Fossil discovery fills gap in human evolution

[Sylvester McBean]

Not to nitpick,but that shows that the account in Genesis contradicts science not that the bible contradicts itself.

then let's delve into the two distinct stories of creation, both from genesis:

First Account (Genesis 1:1-2:3)

Genesis 1:25-27
(Humans were created after the other animals.)

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image.... So God created man in his own image.

Genesis 1:27
(The first man and woman were created simultaneously.)

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Second Account (Genesis 2:4-25)

Genesis 2:18-19
(Humans were created before the other animals.)

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Genesis 18-22
(The man was created first, then the animals, then the woman from the man's rib.)

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them.... And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.



I'm wearing myself out with this.

Huh. I didn't know that. It appears that you might be right, and I might be...something other than that. Now I'm going to have to ask the priest about this.

Sorry to wear you out.

I think this shows that God needed an editor Anyone up for the job? You may earn bread, but not much money. You will, however, receive stock options to buy 1,000 pieces of heaven at just a penny a piece after your 1000th anniversary with the company!

That's very nice, Sylvester. I think that since your slip away from the Lord last night, you have managed to get your speedy car into 5th on the Super-highway to hell.

Beer beats Jesus. This is a new low. It is almost like you are TRYING to get into hell.

...and I'm not so sure about #6 there...

it's better to stay devout and live your beliefs and your faith MW. reading the bible, 'the true word of god', will drive you to reason and the road of an agnostic.

6. When you have beer, you don't knock on people's doors trying to give it away.

You know, if those people that keep coming to my door were waving beer at me, I might actually open it.

 

[MouseWorshipin]

In my younger days, I remember lots of people who had had beer knocking on my door...
