hey coddy you look it too!!!! after my 3 kidney stones i hope i don't live to 100.lol
people: this is real infrormation and do not want to knock anybodies religion, since we all come from the same genes, except my wife, they had special genes made for her.
just an historical backround. what happens when you put 20 people in a room, tell a story and let it go around the room. what comes out, a different story.
the bible was not written by god or moses. it was written over time by man. over many centuries not minutes. the earliest written form of anything close to the bible was the dead sea scroll dating around 200bc. these are the oldest wriittings of many of the text of the bible and the oldest found text of isaiah.
the bible was written by learned scolars over thousands of years, added to, changed, revised. this most famous book was a hand me down for cennturies and not printed until gutenberg in 1455.
from my jewish knowledge of the bible(torah) which was the old testament only. there are many errors , hidden messages and incongruencies in this text.
i am not a scloar, but many stories were probably distorted, from the truth.
there has NEVER BEEN ANY EVIDENCE OF ANY BIBLE ARTFACT EVER FOUND.
isreal is rebuilding king solomon's temple and claim to have the ark of the covonent. they will display it in the temple.
this may be the first proof of anything from the bible.
so don't send me to hell, but take the bible , not as a word for word message from god ,but a group of laws, messages and stories, written by wise men at the time, to give people the faith to believe in a god rather than an idol.
these had to be strong and mightly words to win over the population.
many of the bible stories are know being recreated on discovery and othe rchannels and is very interesting.
it will not change your minds about the bible ,but it might give you more insight into a more plausible story.
ok no more religion. next class sunday morning, or sat if jewish or 7 day adventist.

I think as humans we tend to discredit anything we can't 'prove', so the Bible loses on that account for many.
It says somewhere that God put 'time indefinite' in our hearts. You can discredit the accuracy of the Bible, but seriously, the accuracy of the Bible is profound.

thank you, doc dave.
this is a whole other discussion, but i just don't understand how anyone can take the bible (or the torah, or the quran) absolutely literally. it's a collection of allegories, stories, and myths, written and interpreted and reinterpreted by HUMAN BEINGS (all of whom were fallible, just like we are today). certainly, there is much to be gleaned from the bible, but for real folks, it's poetry. it's story.
in the words of one of my all-time favorite musicians/artists/poets/activists, ms. ani difranco :
literal
when they said he could walk on water what it sounds like to me is he could float like a butterfly and sting like a bee literal people are scary, man literal people scare me out there trying to rid the world of its poetry while getting it wrong fundamentally down at the church of "look, it says right here, see!"

Okay, then. If the Bible is not accurate in its account that people were living to be 800 or 900 years old, then I don't buy it that woman came from man.
How's that? I think woman came first.

Tailz,
You may have a "pregnant idea" there.
Nowhere in any religious works, is there mention of 'pregnant males'; however, there is the Immaculate Conception.

Duh! But it was a "pregnant" idea.....reminds me of an old keychain I saw about 30+ years ago....And God created man, then realized Her mistake, and created woman.
Just an ancient joke!
