Compatibility between Science and Genesis

[SezMe]

In this thread, Vixen made this comment:

We can see adaptation and natural selection. We have species and sub species. We have genii, genomes, DNA.

...

However, did we once swing from trees to slowly change into humans? I believe humans have always been humans. I think Genesis is pretty accurate as the creation story.

Follow up in that thread would be way off topic so I started this thread.

Vixen, maybe you can start by expanding on your belief.

Yes, show us how your belief came to be, in tiny stages, to the one you have now without changing at all in the process.

The creation story in Genesis is just as accurate as any other creation story.

It seems to me that the first issue must be the "compatibility" between the mutually-exclusive bits of The Book of Beginnings, themselves...

Wait, wouldn't humans having always been human require there to have been pre Cambrian mammals, humans being mammals?

 

[Donn]

Adam's rib, in the fanfic, was a human; as was the dirt that spawned him.

The relationship between Genesis and Science is like the relationship between the Stork theory of how babies are made and the REALITY of how they are made.... there is that coincidental fact that storks make babies too.

Have you ever seen two Bibles going at it? They breed between the lines.

Something of worth in an oxymoronic thread title

That is too phonographic!!

Ha!

That is why I only use bibles that have been raised with an 'abstinence only sex education'.

That does not work... best to just neuter them.

Gelded bibles.

That is an even better idea.

 

[Donn]

Gelding the silly.

Yeah, you folks all think that you are so smart! Well, proof of the Biblical story of creation is very simple: just count the number of ribs of males versus females (be careful there guys...)! You will see for yourself that males lack a rib found in females because Eve was created from one of Adam's ribs. So there. Proof!

(Okay, maybe not true, but many people believe it and I am certain that apologists have an explanation.

 

[Donn]

They're only ribbing you.

Did we once swing from trees?

We still swing from trees!

 

[Crossbow]

You'll have to excuse me for a spell ...

I have to go down the corral and put my stallion bible and my cousin's mare bible together and see if they can make a foal bible.

Giddy up!

 

[Donn]

It'll be a horse's ass.
