Greetings Wak! Is your postulate wrong? If you don't have a specific position or evidence, no, your not wrong! :-) I misunderstood you my friend! I thought you were arguing for a specific purpose. Concerning the issue of 'reliablility', I would just repeat what I've said in other posts. If there was no Adam, when Scripture says that there was, then that would unreliable. Scripture makes clear throught, not just in Genesis, that Adam and Eve existed, that they were created by God, and that they fell. Their fall brought sin and its consequences upon all of us and resulted in the necessity of Christ's death. Other than that, their is no real significance to whether or not Gen. 1-4 is historical or not! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hey Tim Nope, not arguing for a purpose... just trying to reconcile Genesis 1- 4 with 99 percent(?) of the scientists and 65 percent(?) of clergy. I guess it's like like Free Will and "who does God's grace apply to"... no clear cut answers. Just good people doing their best to fiqure out answers My percents are just rough estimates |

Wak You might be right with your clergy percentage number as I know for fact many in the clergy today take the path of least resistance. However the percentage for the scientist would be much lower. Most old age theory is based on carbon dating and that is based on the atomic theory while we know the theory is close we also know it not totally correct. Many scientist in the field will tell you carbon dating is on the verge of being disproved or at least reconsidered. There has been too many examples where carbon dating has been proven wrong. Unfortunately until something better comes along little of this will be made general knowledge. Many leading evolutionary scientist have decided among themselves that fossil records and species observation does not bear evolution out and for this reason many have forsaken the pursuit of proving the theory. Embarrassingly the percentage of scientist that believe in an old earth age is falling while the percentage within the clergy is rising. I think the problem we are now facing is no one is making any attempt to inform the general public of this shift. Look at our children’s text books they probably still show a timeline where men evolves from the Neanderthal man. However science now classifies the Neanderthal skeleton as coming from an unknown species similar but totally different generically from man. EdB |
