So to you, going to your synagogue is no different than going to comic con? Do others at your synagogue believe in the Hebrew scriptures or do they pretty much just teach that it is full of myths and Moses never existed?
Santa and the Easter Bunny are completely believable....Presents and Easter eggs don't just fall down from the sky over night from God knows where...... All religions on the other hand were created many thousands of years ago when the masses of the world were nothing more than totally gullible and stupid ..... Actually the bible is the first ever book of fiction .....Two of each every living breathing creatures on this planet ,all packed on one tiny little wood boat and then in a tiny amount of time and through incest creating all the different races of people in their billions on this ear planet..... I might still be blonde ,but thank god I've got a brain that partly works :)D
Wrong, now go forth my child and think and reason no more.
Put two mice in a barn and in a couple of months there are thousands (1). Without incest there would be no genetic mutation. Without that Darwin on the Beagle would never have come up with his outlandish "scientific" theory of evolution (2).
Two points supporting your hypothesis. It was Noah and his sons, other than mom there were no other women mentioned. Now how did his boys breed (1). With only two worms for fishing why do we still have so many worms (2)
Countless billions of people simply cannot come from just one couple....how strange just one man named Adam and a women named Eve hatched ever new birth ever born...Such stupidity beggers belief... Ive no dobut these crazy thoughts were spawned by men and men alone....:(
So all people cannot come from two people but all forms of life can come from a common ancestor? Or I think the popular belief may have evolved into that all life came from a few common ancestors? All Tardigrades and all Blue Whales came from a common ancestor but all humans to have come from Two common ancestors is ridiculous? Mice in a barn will likely only produce rodent like critters just like finches only produced bird like critters.
I wonder where this make believe Adam and Eve things were magicked up from if they were supposed to be the first humans born...immaculate conception cums to mind...:(
Humans are not mice or rats and it takes seventeen years plus for its females to produce young safely...... Can you imagine what inbred reprobates the human race would be like if brother and sister had been humping each other and all from the same blood stock for twenty thousand years...
Doesnt it worry you that humans are the only living thing that's created all kinds of weapons of mass destruction both mechanical and also chemical and also viral now as well..
It takes only one old halfwitted warmonger leader to let of one biological weapon that can wipe out all known life on earth....and none of the ones we have are not suppose to be inbred....
Unless they were created perfect and each generation got further away from perfection. I would think that further down the line you don't have all the genes Adam and Eve had and and isolating a gene pool would give the affects of inbreeding we see now. The other option is that you have to apply what you did about humans to the common ancestor, inbreeding from the get go.
I know that God is going to have to intervene and will so man doesn't do that. (Revelation 11:18) But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came for the dead to be judged and to reward your slaves the prophets and the holy ones and those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”
So says the fable. But there is no way to know if such people actually existed or if the whole thing was an apocryphal story meant to scare people straight.
Much of what's in there did not literally happen. Many stories, such as the golden calf at Mt. Sinai, were rooted in politics and trying to scare people away from doing the wrong thing.

I see the story of the Exodus as an allegory of a people (childlike because under authority and dependent) coming of age (leaving home) and discovering the need to become personally and socially responsible for the consequences of their actions in order to survive (become interdependent adults.) Recent studies in Israel have upset a lot of people with the discovery that there is absolutely no historical evidence that the Exodus ever took place. But it doesn't matter. Because it's the uniting aspect of the story, it's inner meaning for and entire culture and its faith that counts.
