I admit that I don't know; that is the difference between us. It is that very uncertainty that opens the door to reconciling Faith and Science - which were never intended by our Creator to be mutually exclusive

Further, my faith is intact despite this uncertainty; strengthened even - supported by evidence observed via the human mind, which was created in the likeness of its creator. Special Relativity is a product of that mind, and a step toward understanding and appreciating the handiwork of our Creator.

I believe we were intended to be intelligent gardeners; and I believe my creator expected his human creations to seek a more intimate understanding of Him via application of the mind created in His likeness.


And you never did explain what happened to Adam and Eve's pre-fall excrement.

How did they digest food?

I don't pretend to know, either. I won't contradict what is there, in the Bible, though. Macroevolution, over hundreds of millions, even trillions, of years, contradicts the Bible. So, it's not so, as far as I'm concerned.

Metaphor, allegory, parable ,,, whatever you devise to try and work around it, you'll not find the fundamental truth behind it to be a lie. I have no need to accomodate. It'll all reconcile in due time.

As far as your continued harping on poop, it was inert, digested vegetable matter at the time, bacteria notwithstanding. I suppose it dried out or otherwise fell apart, was spread around by various, natural means since toiling to produce food was unknown. Spread by the wind, trod by animals, whatever, but it became food for plants, primarily, and the creatures that feed off of it as well. Much like leaves or uneaten fruit, that sort of thing. No reason for this to be all that different from today, in other words. A perfect little "biosphere" that actually worked, actually sustained itself, with death being unknown.

Why is this so important to you? I honestly can't envision your rejection of the Biblical account of Creation as having hinged on such a thing.
