-- Posted by sadnessness at 5:16 am on Sep. 14, 2008 there are two parts to this topic, the second will appear if i am correct about the first one: Is Creationism a literal belief in the Genesis story? -- Posted by hI jAMES at 5:17 am on Sep. 14, 2008 Yes.  We literally believe someone made a man from dust. -- Posted by sadnessness at 5:22 am on Sep. 14, 2008 Well i'll take Jamesish's reply as a "yes, it is a literal belief" and i will ask this: Adam and Eve had Cain and Abel.... Where did Cain and Abel's wives comes from? -- Posted by hI jAMES at 5:25 am on Sep. 14, 2008 Thats a mystery. Even my preacher commented on this. There is no absolute answer from me. So yes, I base my beliefs on something that clearly has holes in it.  Do I care?  No. -- Posted by sadnessness at 5:28 am on Sep. 14, 2008 that's ok, i just wondered if anybody had come up with an answer to it since i last studied it :) x -- Posted by hI jAMES at 5:38 am on Sep. 14, 2008 O and referencing more to your topic... Abel didn't have a wife. He was probably killed too fast. Cain and Seth did. Cain's in unknown. But they say it was his sister most likely. Seth married his sister Azura. Adam and Eve had other daughters and sons also. -- Posted by Cruizer at 5:50 am on Sep. 14, 2008 dpends which stance you take was the bible written by moses on the top of mount sinai (in addition to the 10 commandments), influenced by god or was it a mass canonizing of jewish sacred texts which occured through the solomon era of the kingdom of judah. youll notice that there is tend between people from low socio-economic status and those who take bible entirely on a literal level. also the less educated seem to view the bible as hard fact without accepting the facts which science proves to the world as the bible seems like a simpler peice of writing to understand -- Posted by hI jAMES at 5:58 am on Sep. 14, 2008 Cruizer - Would that be the same for people who believe according to Islam? -- Posted by Cruizer at 6:04 am on Sep. 14, 2008 Quote: from jamesish at 10:58 pm on Sep. 14, 2008 Cruizer - Would that be the same for people who believe according to Islam? sorry im don't know enough enough about islam to make a knowledgeable statement. i can only really talk about the old testament, otherwise id be making blanket statements and assumptions. there have been studies to prove my above statements in judeo-christian society but i dunno about islam -- Posted by Apostledanub at 1:14 pm on Sep. 15, 2008 Quote: from sadnessness at 5:22 am on Sep. 14, 2008 Adam and Eve had Cain and Abel.... Where did Cain and Abel's wives comes from? That's the exact same question I came up with. :P
