Should be interesting keeping that story clear.

You did copy and paste a whole website! LOL. Cheater cheater pumpkin eater. :P What was the definition of Dogma again? I'm sorry. I really don't care and I'm not offended. I'm sure you share the same opinions as Mr. Meritt so it really doesn't matter. If you're still around which of his statements would you like me to comment on? Holy smokes! You did copy and paste a whole website! LOL.

Did you copy and past the entire contents of a website or what! There's a lot of duplicaiton there. Every Scripture has a reason, an explanation, and a context. But for every Scripture you've pasted it would take me a paragraph or so to explain. Like I said everything is explainable. If you truly want me to explain something I need a workable list. What you have given me would take a while to complete. I am more than willing to answer whatever you wish but would I would like the opportunity to answer everything in my own words and would rather not copy and paste. (I have a full time job, am a full time student, am a full time husband, and father of four, and have a few responsibilities at church that require my time, off-and-on, throughout the week.) Unfortunately I don't have the time to right my own book. (Actually I am working on one. LOL. I'll probably be old and grey before it's done.) If you truly want an exhaustive work of everything that could be taken out of context, mis-understood, and/or thought of as a contradiction let me suggest a few books. 1. Difficulties And Alleged Errors And Contradictions In The Bible by R.A. Torrey (this book is 100 years old now ( 1st pub 1907) but it is very good at describing and understanding ancient mesopotamian/semetic literature and also some of the most common accusations and misunderstandings against scripture.) 2. Are There Contradictions in the Bible? by Ralph Muncaster He actually has a few books that are pretty good and thorough. 3. Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell. This has quite a few of the alleged contradictions but also explains some of the more difficult passages that aren't really contradictory but are hard to understand. This is a HUGE book and very thorough. I guarantee that all the scriptures you pasted will be dealt with in these books. In the mean time if you have some that you want me, personnaly, to answer then feel free to give me a workable list. :) Good grief, Larian!

Didn't see you added more, Larian. I'm not ignoring you, I promise. Thanks, Da Captain. I'm enjoying this too! Larian, I don't see any problems so far that I can't explain. Some are easy, others can be taken different ways, a few are explainable but still require "faith". :) It's hard to expect to find answers to every historical and scientific question that we may have. In the end, the Bible is not an exhaustive work of science and history. It is a road map on Godly living. In between that purpose, God does gives us enough answers to science and history where we can find faith in Him if we so choose. He does not tell us everything. (i.e. God tells us that Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters after Cain and Abel, but only tells us the name of Seth. The other kids are unimportant when it comes to having a personal relationship with God so he doesn't fill in the details there.) That's not a cop-out. There ARE explainations for all your points. I'm just pointing out something that we both already know. Believing either of our viewpoints requires a certain amount of faith. I'm going to stop here. I'm sure you figured out that once I get going I have a hard time shutting up! LOL. Oops! Didn't see you added more, Larian. I'm not ignoring you, I promise. Thanks, Da Captain.

Like you said. Even adding up the years in the geneologies comes up with quite a bit more than 3,000. It was that statement that pulled me into this discussion. :P 3,000 years is definitely too young. Like you said.

I'm in no certain camp as I have questions on everything... however I felt the need to say that a "Forced Experiment" in a lab would be creating somehing out of design... like a toy dog... it doesn't happen naturally... but is by design... be it man not a higher being in this case... but makes a bad argument in my opinion for evolution... Just saying... and I am really enjoying this... there are some pretty sharp people on this blog... which is nice to see. If you cruise the political blogs... it's hard to believe there are any intelligent people left... ha ha... This is a really interesting blog guys... want to thank you both for it.
