Sorry I have to quote you twice. I'm not stalking you, I promise.

The story of Adam and Eve is allegorical. It isn't literally true.

As a matter of fact, the name Adam means mankind as confirmed in the Bible. Same with the name Eve.

You can't calculate the age of the earth starting from Adam because no one knows when the planet earth was created.

It could have been there billions of years before the first man walked on it.

There could have been life on this planet for billions of years before the great water deluge which seems to be present in most aboriginal people's stories.

OROSUNBOLB:

You can do better than throwing unnecessary insult because I thought I was dealing with someone that's capable of having an intellectual discourse that is devoid of the usual childish tantrum commonly seen here. If however you're one of those kids that throw diatribe around here unnecessarily, I am sorry to have overstepped my boundary BOSS !

Not really. ... just curious and trying to form a general idea. Not expecting you to even say which country.... let alone State... but the fish... what other thing can you venture to say about it?.... is it a known/common fish but just happens to be super old? Just curious.
In my mind I'm thinking.....Hmmmm.... I wonder if this fish is like the man from India/Pakistan who is like 70 years old today but stopped eating period since he was like 12/17 years old?... eats nothing drinks nothing.

Offpoint:


There's position it stays, it has never gone out of the place. The place is more like a 2 fit deep hole with a width of 5ft... That place is the only source of drinkable water in the stream.
The fish glows at night...

ScotMisile:

Abeg, is it water they are looking for or is there something else?

Originalsly:


Hmmmm........ maybe related to the electric eel?.... or somehow the candlefly?...just thinking aloud as I scratch my head!

Haryodeji77:


Where on hell on earth is this place ?

Offpoint:

Nope, I'm a fan of NatGeo Wild and wicked tuna... it's not close to any of them.

babzo:


Yes age of Adam and the human race.
Gen 1: 2 and Isaiah 24: 1 point to a gap before man that could be billions of years and an existence that we dont fully understand yet, BUT may explain dinosaurs and the 2 billion years required for crude oil to form.
Also Gen 1: 28..God tells man to REPLENISH the Eartha.
Replenish means to re fill. Meaning something was there before, no longer there and needs to be re stocked

1Sharon:


Haha..so Christians are now saying Adam and eve are allegories cos you know it doesn't make sense.

So you believe humans lived up to 900yrs old, but think adam and eve is fictional?

IF ADAM AND EVE ARE ALLEGORIES, THAT MEANS THERE'S A CHANCE THAT ABRAHAM, MOSES, DOWN TO JESUS ARE ALSO ALLEGORIES.
CHERRY-PICKERS SHOOTING THEMSELVES LEFT AND RIGHT. HOW CAN THE "ABSOLUTELY TRUE" WORD OF GOD CONTAIN FICTIONAL STORIES AND STILL BE CONSIDERED AS TRUTH?
YOU CAN NOW SEE THAT RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING FROM SOMETHING DEADLY THAT DOESN'T HAVE A CURE.

Nwodosis:
History not in our curriculum to avoid the genocide of the past being told.

I'm sure the Italians were surprised to death when God started creating the Earth right in front of them .

I don't have anything against Allah because it's just a language from Arab, which means Olódùmarè in my language.

DarkJeddi:
I would take you more serious if you are able to explain the existence of God?

How did he come about?

Who created him and how did he come about the ability to create Worlds and other life forms..

You see..

Saying God created everything has not answered the question of how things came to be,you just shifted the Goalpost..

I don't have to prove their is no God..

You have to prove there is God and so far you have not proved ANYTHING..

The Sun is not a Planet so it doesn't move like every other PLANETS..

The Sun doesn't move because there's no force or heavenly body large enough around its vicinity to exert a force on it..

That's Elementary Physics,for a body to move a large enough force must be exerted on it..

On the other hand,it exerts said force on all the nearby Planetary bodies..

The exact same way the Earth exerts a force on its Satellite,the Moon that allows the Moon to move around the Earth..

Try read up a little..

You ask about other SUNS?

Really?

Some questions diminishes your worth in an argument..

What the furck do you think the STARS are?

They are SUNS..

All manners of shapes and sizes of SUNS..

BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of SUNS..

Ausrichie:

So you do not have a Bible? Read it na then do the calculations yourself.

Adeebiwa09:


Lolx hahahahahahah you know you can teach me to study it. I don't mind since you and God are mates

Freehuman:


Thank you Sir.

Please Sir, who created God?

Why do you believe that something you haven't ever seen (God) created itself but fail to believe that something so large and houses everything (Earth) you can see also created itself ?

The questions are in accordance with your assertion that for there to be existence there must be creation.

However , you believe that there is an exception to that assertion . Your exception is that a God ,you have never seen, created himself out of nothing and proceeded to create everything while the exception of the person you argued with is that the Earth that he sees everything germinate from created itself and therefore created everything.

From an objective perspective your logic and and the logic of the person you quoted follow the same sequence except that yours cannot be proven. At least we have seen plants grow from the Earth but we have never seen life fall from the sky.

1Sharon:


Why should he teach you? Don't you have the holy spirit again?

LemonBoy1:


Wrong. We have seen extraterrestrial life fall from the sky

Freehuman:

Lol. Where?

kingxsamz:


Lies.
Is there peace in the world?
Religion alone has done more harm than good.
There's always been wickedness, and there'll always be wickedness and evil.
Nigeria is a religious nation, yet see all the trouble we're going through.

1Sharon:


Haha..so Christians are now saying Adam and eve are allegories cos you know it doesn't make sense.

FrLukas:


You need to understand that the Bible is a compilation of the history of mankind and also a record of religious practices and beliefs held by man.

For example the story of Job is a didactic take told to pass across a moral.

We tell such tales in our own cultures in Africa too.

So not all the stories are literally true.

But the fact that humans lived upwards of 300 years at a go is factually true.

UnknownQueen:


Youre actually right bro, But i tell you the truth, So much more wickedness will abound if we all. live with the consciousness that there's no God, there'll be much more suicide,More people will prefer to die and go into oblivion than go thru phases of pain here, Too much evil will abound, Oh yes I can cause my neighbour so much pain, and feel there's no punishment awaiting me anywhere.....There'll indeed be less people on earth..... Everything bout life will be meaningless.

1Sharon:


So you believe dinosaurs existed and you believe god decided to magically conjure humans( adam and eve) just as they are?

And that is how the human population came about?

You're wrong!

Did god create the dinosaurs too??

Is Jesus allegorical?
It's not a history book.

You said humans lived up to 900, now you're saying they lived up to 300? Which is it?

DEROX:
yes sir Allah the god of bokoharam and numerous terrorist groups

Freehuman:


If you didn't say that God created himself it logical implies that he was created. If God was created therefore there is something more powerful than God and that's the Creator who created God. If you reject this assertion it means that God you agree that God created himself.
