"Can a jerk show respect?"

Ad hominem remarks will get you nowhere.

"What Facts do you have on the pre Garden era? "

We have been over this time and again. You and people who think like you refuse to believe the Bible is anything but a textbook on every conceivable issue. That's medieval thinking. That's the way Muslims consult the Koran. They check it to see if flying in airplanes is O.K. with Mohammad.

People who thought just like you said that the sun can't revolve around the earth because there is a passage in the Bible about God making the sun stand still in the sky. Therefore the sun must revolve around the earth.

A passage in Genesis says that God made man out of the dust of the earth. Therefore, ALL the fossils, ALL the strategraphic research, ALL the paleontologists who ever lived, all the anthropolicial facts unearthed will not convince you that God did not LITTERALLY make modern man out of a litteral lump of clay. All those fossil primitive men, who so closely resembled us, who provide a gradually more modern likeness to modern man with advancing geological age, were not our physical ancestors.

Go ahead, its a free country. You can believe anything you wish. You can deny the world is flat, that the earth revolves around the sun, and that modern man had physically more primitive ancestors.

I have no idea where the Garden of Eden was or what went on in there. That's a theological question best answered by theologians. But I most certainly know, that as sure as primitive fish gave rise to amphibians, and amphibians produced reptiles, and lizards produced snakes, and dinosaurs produced birds, that primitive human-like creatures were the the physical ancestors of modern man.

You being a jerk in your posts and my pointing it out is not a Ad hominem remark. You can discuss the topic without trying to degrade those who disagree with you.

Regarding creation - you keep going into long diatribes and never really answer my question. Did God breath life into man? I really wish yo would just come outright and say - God did not create man directly and he did not breath life into his newly created man. I really do not care what fairy tale you believe in - I just want you to admit that you believe that Genesis is wrong. For God to have created man and breathed life into him He would have had to make him directly as a man and breathe life. Maybe you think he create the sludge or some other primitive form, let it evolve and then breathed life into him?

It is foundational that the difference between man and beast is the soul, which man received when God breathed life into him. Do you feel that all lower versions of man also had that soul, that God waited until man evolved to his final state then breathed life into him, then moved him into the Garden, then made Eve? (remember when Eve was made?) Or is Genesis completely wrong? Just be honest and stop dancing.

If you have no idea where the Garden of Eden was or what went on in there - how do you know that everything was not different than you imagine? You don't. So I would not be so cock sure that you have the truth on origins. But you do as you please, just don't try to pass off the lie that Genesis and Evolutions are compatible.
