No problem stockerup. I think it's necessary to appreciate what is actually being suggested in the tale itself. The Tree of Life was quite a different thing and has quite separate imperatives altogether, although all of it is rather poor allegory. As you say, Adam did not know of good and...

It was the tree of knowledge not the tree of life. At least get the details of the myth right. Adam had no choices. He had no knowledge of what was good bad or evil, whether it was right or wrong to obey or not , because he had not yet eaten from the tree. It is a bad story like most...

.... an intelligent person considering ridiculous fantasy as feasible.... what else do you expect !?

"oneness" with Jack Hershey..... makes one shudder.:p

….most everything! As you can see, I have a different perspective again. Imo (I think you'll find it's described the tree of knowledge ) it is not a good story at all. All knowing God knows Adam and Eve have no knowledge. They cannot know it is wrong to disobey. So God allows them to be...

Way to go jem - you tell 'im. His is the theistic argument, absurd offensive and irrational . Yours is quite understandable of course, an obvious and reasonable response. There's always the natural a-theist in everyone coming to the fore, arguing for some basis in reality. His God is...

yeah whatever. I think you over played the threats and hate dude. They won't work. As if contradiction and absurdity was not enough, your religious beliefs are also offensive. They were constructed for use against the more gullible like yourself , who are susceptible to threats and fear...

Careful Iam - man, "..the first shall be last" ...and all that. Even the Jesus dude knew that

Quotes from riskfreetrading: "I do not fear, I know." "You will believe it only when you will put you in hell, and you taste it. Human are like that. They understand only when the stick is used. Otherwise, they feel strong from the hole in their lower backs." "Anything written by a...

....compelling argument.

Teleologist, How come all you can do is cut and paste text from creationists, if intelligent design is not supposed to be creationism ? I know don't tell me, it's because like all true creationists, you're just a fraud.

I see you enter the new year as you left the old jem. With no credibility whatsoever.

Holy Batman, Christ!. Perhaps the Puzzler is possibly a more perspicacious proposition , preferable to present when pontificating on the preposterous perceptions produced by your persona.

What you don't seem to understand is, you are basing your understandings on a fictional story and all the exegesis in the world doesn't change that bottom line.

God [is most likely] , outside of time - before, after, eternity are all probably meaningless. Who wudve thunk it. Your position is just 3 words and a comma between us being in complete agreement.

You're rationalizing a fictional story. Pontificating over a fairy tale. Asking and answering your own questions .... was Robin Hood a hero ? Of course. All Mr. Walker need do is bring forth the common knowledge that it's a good idea to make a plot work even in a fairy story. He does...

.... megalomania is such a grand thing.

here ya go dude - this should satisfy your desire for some certainty ..... Gravity

Gravity the word, represents as you quaintly phrase it - "the force that pulls you to the ground" , which is obviously present and very real and can easily be shown to exist. God does not do that, It does non of those things Gravity proves itself by because God is one of those human...
