Site where jesus cure the blind man was found.

for someone so open to talk, you're not very willing to discuss..

So now what?? it's gone from either all fact or all fiction to all truth with one major exception of alegory? I mean, I still don't quite get how we can have night and day without a sun first.. or did god just get tired of lighting the sky on his own time that he/she made the sun to do so as an afterthought. If that one portion of the book wasn't created to be so literal, how do people treat the majority of it in such a literal fashion?? Your obvious passion for it is a testament (pun intended) to that.

because then from an interpretation, factual observation comes in, and there is in fact much evidence for creation.

however badfish, excuse me but i am quite burned out about this whole thread. if you want evidence for creation, first read Michael Dentons book that refutes darwinism called Evolution, a theory in crisis and then if you wish a case for creation, read in 6 days, how 50 scientists came to believe in creation

or simply Case for a creator by Lee Strobel.

very interesting things are there.

i must correct a huge blunder on my behalf. i did not mean to say this:

"as for the order, let it be known that gensis is the only book in the bible writen as an alegory (i think thats the right word, like when you write a summation of something past, and not a narrative)."

i completely lost track of my train of thought. i meant to say that of all the books in the bible genesis is one that is not an alegory (a

...i completely lost track of my train of thought. i meant to say that of all the books in the bible genesis is one that is not an alegory (and i wanted to check my vocabulary, i didn't know if it was the right word), as some christian scholars say that the book of Job might be one. but genesis is written in a narrative form, with some figures de style in it, like of the emphasis on how little there was around adam at his creation.

im terribly sorry about what i said, which was just plain wrong. forgive me please. as for my response to Badfish2, i was under the impression i had not written what i had.

genesis is not the alegorical book i said it is, but that some say the book of Job is.

sorry about that. i know its fundamental, and im very distraught at it. i was plain wrong. sorry again.

What a mess.

I will say this. The more you know about the subject of religion, the harder it is to disbelieve. Religion is very deep, complex, and often cryptic. Therefore, it lies solely on interpretation of the individual. Reasoning and logic are used to help make sense of it all. When atheists think of religion, they imagine the herding of sheep. The flaw is they are interpreting religion as much as the believers. Religious interpretation comes on many levels and should never be completely dismissed by a skeptic. Religion is far deeper than a single level in its complexity.

Simon, you are pretty much off the mark. Lets look at one example of your logic lapse, the argument about the order or creation. You point out that “days� exist before the sun was created. At a most basic level this is true, but you are completely neglecting the most important factor of all...time. “Days� as you know them, only exist on earth. The length of a day anywhere else is always different. A day on Mars, Mercury, or Jupiter would be (and are) different lengths of time. Also the fact the God created the entire universe as well as this rock that we live on, how do we know a “day� as “He� does? Days do not exist outside of solar systems. The context of time can be off too. Humans (and the sun) were created after God himself already determined the length of a “day.� God created time BEFORE he created the sun. Furthermore, a day to him could be an epoch to us, we don’t know, as we were not there to witness the creation. In any case you are grasping a straw-man argument because your own logic contradicts itself. Though almostaskiier might hardly agree with me because I believe that Genesis is an allegory.

well, i had heard this already, i meant to say it wasn't, and i don't believe it to be so, but i said the complete opposite by accident.

personally, i think i blew it and this thread is too draining.

Quinny, im sorry, but im out.

certainly it takes more than an internet board discussion to change someones beliefs, and and stand by what i know, as i know it, and im assuming you do too. in my brain, "mormonism" if you want to call it that, is more in line with the christianity that is taught in the bible (old testament and new) than is anything else thats aroud today. as far as the religion standing the test of time, well, its growing faster than pretty much any other religion, and is going on almost 200 years now. clearly thats a small number when compared with judeaism, but i think it was a time magazine article that stated that mormonism, again, using that term loosely, is the first major world religion since mohammed in 600ad, or thereabouts. i dont see the church going anywhere but up, in a time of division and internal strife among so many other christian denomonations. will it stand the test of time? thats for time to tell i guess.
