Friday, December 03, 2004 I believe ...... #2On the creation, probably my first part.I will start with the first verse of the bible and agree. God did the creating. And later it tells us that he (modestly) thought it was good if not very good. The second verse says that at the start the earth was formless. Fine! for it clearly changed in God's actions of creation; it evlolved. And life evolved over millions of years. The bible doesn't say how God did it but I have no trouble with the 'big bang' explanation, or that creatures evolved, some dying out. Mankind is so different to the animals that we are a special thread of God's creation and 'very good 'whereas the other parts are just 'good'. At some stage God made mankind intelligent enough to communicate with God, to reason and have intelligence above that of animals. Therefore those people were like us in the mind but different in the body for they were perfect and free of diseases. The representatives of the pinacle of creation and our representatives were two humans we now call Adam and Eve and under extreme temptation and lies, they did what God had told them not to do, they sinned; their habitat changed and their lives chaged now dying and in time gaining diseases usually from the animal world. Most of the early people did live long lives for they were close to perfect and few diseases had entered on them yet. Eplainations that the long lives are measures of seasons not years are wrong: the bible always is in clear terms called the 'plain meaning rule' in law and in translating. Evil is so strong that one son of Adam and Eve could not be talked out of killing his brother. He found a wife in a not so far away 'city', probably a town for other people existed outside the Eden are and outside this representative clan. I do not believe that he married his sister; it goes against God's law,( although given later ), and the plain meaning of the passage. Enough, probably I'll be carted away as a heretic.
