Now, verga, I WAS glad to see you until you picked out one obviously error-filled post just to make this (invalid) point.

My apologies, but I have seen the "crazy talk" from this poster before.

“This nonsense should not be confused as Catholic doctrine. No legitimate Catholic theologian, rational Catholic, or Church dogma accepts a literal interpretation of the Genesis stories. Fundamentalists are on their own.”

Catholics don’t believe that the events in Genesis happened? Well I would disagree with many things they think; but I would be shocked to find out they don’t believe Genesis.

What I want to know is did they speak English ?

And was Eve actually that fugly?

[Hot Tabasco]

If Adam and Eve were the first two persons on this planet, what about the inbreeding that would have occured from their own children and their offspring?

[editor-surveyor]

That was Sola non-scripture!

There is no scripture that even supports Noah having daughters.

Perhaps he refers to Lot and his daughters, who produced the Moabites and Ammonites, but Yehova blessed those peoples with a legitimate possession of land.

There is no scripture that even supports Noah having daughters.

Oops

>> “Jesus believed in them. I don’t see why I should do otherwise” <<

.
It has become fashionable for those that imagine themselves to be ‘believers.’

[Iscool]

the Catholic Church has believed in, and written about Adam and Eve 1,600 years before there were Protestants....

How come you never wrote about Eve's brothers and sisters???

[Resettozero]

It has become fashionable for those that imagine themselves to be ‘believers.’

Now you have just slandered potentially many Christians here. Care to narrow down who these "fashionable" folk may be?

Then prepare to be shocked...

.
Said ‘inbreeding’ would not have been any problem, since their genetics were perfect.

Noah came much later, and his inbred descendants populated the entire earth too.

Abraham and Sara were brother and sister too, and they produced Yehova’s chosen people.

You Papists never pass up a chance to bash Protestants and Sola Scriptura.

just out of curiosity do you a lot of Flat Earth or Young Earth ROMAN Catholics, not "papists". I believe your use of that term could be seen as not passing up an opportunity to bash Catholics.

[virgil]

Interesting. I never thought of it that way.

Did Asimov have any connection with 2001 at all?

Not that I know of, but the man was prolific, he and Heinlein may have discussed ideas.

[editor-surveyor]

No, I have indicted those that do not believe that the Genesis account is true.

(Responding to post 88)

How can they call themselves believers if they do not believe?

[scbison]

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Who is the Word?

[stars & stripes forever]

JESUS JESUS JESUS

He is the Alpha and Omega. The darkness will never extinguish His light.

[scbison]

I think alot of people don’t realize that, Jesus was there in the beginning.

[Resettozero]

Oh.

I prefer the true Genesis account which differs significently from the Big Bang and other such theories of evolution stuff.

I really do like that God first created light and separated it from the darkness -- the first day -- and called it good.

He then created our sun and moon and other planetary and star constellation lights on the FOURTH day.

NOT what I was taught in sixth- and seventh-grade public school Science classes...

But I now, indeed, totally believe that Almighty God can create the world in any order He wishes and have the Scriptural description of it recorded any way He wishes.

[Resettozero]

...he and Heinlein may have discussed ideas.

So you have read the works of that dirty old man too.
