The first principles of every science are known by intuition, if you don’t understand this, you haven’t ever thought about it correctly. Remember, a first principle is prior to everything in the science.
Faith and Reason.
One can’t presume that we all know intuitively that there is a god and discredit everything that doesn’t explain, mention or fit a subsequent narrative attributed to a god on this presumption.
One also shouldn’t presume that intuition or the ability to know is itself created by this same god especially in light of actual evidence that contradict our understanding of its will, desires and narratives about our existence and physical world.
Some of the things you’ve said on this thread that seem to show this bias.
“As a person of Faith I find it kind of funny that human science tried to pirate God’s code only to find out that their ultimate quest, immortality, will not be fulfilled.”
“My suspicion is that as the study of the human genome advances, we will find that the number of generations of man is encoded in the DNA. That is, we will be able to tell how many generations have occurred since the first parents, you know the ones without belly buttons, Adam and Eve.”
“In the mean time we can play with the math, which currently seems to favor the notion that Jesus Christ, the New Adam, was born 5199 years after the creation of Adam and Eve, and not 200 million years after the first primate suddenly acquired the gift of reason.”
“Then we will be able to evaluate how accurate the number of generations as described in the Sacred Scriptures are versus the modern explanations which assume that man has been on this Earth for hundreds of millions of years, which was what started this whole thread.”
