Creation Science Question

NightSwimmer said:
Lilith and Adam never knew one another, in the Biblical sense, did they?

I suppose the answer to that depends on how one interprets the various tales in folklore. But yes, one interpretation is that Lilith and Adam lived as man and wife until she decided one day that she might like to try being on top for a change. Proto-feminist, succubus, killer of neonates, and mother to countless hordes of demons... Interesting gal, that Lilith was. Got kind of a raw deal, if you ask me... And don't get me started on that bum Adam. If he hadn't been so needy and demanding, just imagine how differently things might have turned out!

Cheers.
 
At any rate, that gives us a possibility of two original "mudblood" humans - created directly from the dust of the Earth. I assume that all human life thereafter has been descended from one or both of these original creations?

Well, I reckon so. Although, one still has the somewhat sticky issue of Jesus' genes to explain in that case. But otherwise... sure -- in line with that particular creation myth.

Cheers.
 
I'm Catholic. Therefore, I don't have the slightest idea. I'll suggest that the number is whatever makes folks feel best.

How does being Catholic fit into the equation?

Oh...I suppose I should've qualified, but I assumed I already had to an ad nauseum degree, in the past. We Catholics are pretty much "New Testament" types. But for a small-sect exclusion, we Catholics aren't especially well-versed in the "Old Testament" nuance and specifics.

So yeah....God made Adam..and Eve...and whomever. Whatever.

Oh... okay. I suspect that most denominations fit that description, don't they? The OT is part of the official Catholic canon, isn't it?

No....and that's my gist. To we Catholics, the "Old Testament" is but interesting and curious context for the the essential "New Testament". For the most part, you won't find Catholics "debating" Old Testament nuance and in terms of "official canon"....I think you'll find the "officialness" out of the Catholic hierarchy to be as muddy as mine.
 
I don't know fairsheet. They show us the New Testament in the Old and vice versa all the time. They seem to talk about it every week, too.
 
I think fairsheet is accurate. Catholics seem less concerned with the "literal truth" of the OT, than evangelical/fundy Protestants. Probably because they've had 2000 years to "deal with" the idea that a lot of the OT stuff is obviously myths or mythic tales surrounding various Hebrew luminaries.

An institution can only stand up for legal slavery and the flat-earth geocentric model of the Universe for so long. At some point they have to cut their losses.

"Pay no attention to that Book behind the curtain!"
 
All of us.

To be more accurate, we are ALL made of "star stuff."

Including the Clay....
