NOW MAYBE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES ADAM AND EVE

If you understand that Adam and Eve were representative of this process and progression from hunter-gatherer to agrarian in general, then you can accept that we are talking about not the first man and woman as progenitors of humankind, but people somewhere in the midst of other people. Then we have... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BOOK OF GENESIS DEMONSTRATES THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION

The Adam and Eve story, in particular. The movement from Hunter-gatherer (Garden of Eden) to agrarian (work with the sweat of your brow, bring up thorns, etc.) society is amply demonstrated here and is recognised by quite a few biblical scholars. And there is one more passage in this story that... Sign in to see full entry.

From the Garden to the Ground

mainly it's hunter-gatherer to agricultural societies. it's evolution -- progression to a different way of being. it's interesting -- I saw on TV the other night the usual plea for help for disadvantaged children of a developing area of the world. The narrative asked for help in providing them food... Sign in to see full entry.

TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL -- WHAT WAS IT?

Ideas abound. Here's one -- it's the Law. Kooka, in his blog, talked about how religions were created to give power. And mainly this power is pretty godlike. It's like the big governments. One of the aspects of the Tree is that those who eat of it will be "as gods". In Romans, Paul says, "without... Sign in to see full entry.

CRASHING THE GARDEN (OF EDEN) PARTY

Ok so we’ve established that, if we were to consider the flow of the Book of Genesis, that the “Seven Days of Creation” of Genesis 1 and the first verses of Genesis 2 would not fit that flow well. Yet the Garden of Eden story does, because there is a continuation – to Cain and Abel and to Seth and... Sign in to see full entry.

TRUTH AMONG MYTH - THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Let's establish the book of Genesis before we do anything. Scholarship tells that four different lines run through this book and others of what is titled, "The Pentateuch", or the "Five Books of Moses", which are: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. For our purposes, we are dealing... Sign in to see full entry.

TRUTH AMONG THE MYTH -- OLD TESTAMENT

This will be a series. Starting with the Garden of Eden, I will take the Old Testament stories and explore possible roots of the stories (we're dealing with millenia-old stories and events, so much of this is conjecture). In this manner, I hope to show how a story arises from a grain of truth. There... Sign in to see full entry.

THE LATEST ORGANISM TO EVOLVE -- THE NATION-STATE

People wonder where Evolution will go from here. Some see in the future some super-brain, with huge craniums; one writer of a comment saw a melding of biology and technology into "bionic" beings. The latest stage in evolution is already here, has been for several millenia. That is the nation-state... Sign in to see full entry.

THE DEMONSTRABLE PROCESS OF EVOLUTION

Part I - The dominant male tribal society. Creationists abound. They believe in the literal six day creation of the Earth, etc., as they perceive it from reading the first verses of Genesis. Creationists cannot conceive of Evolution mainly because it threatens to upset their beliefs. They feel... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

PREMISE: Most of contemporary Christianity is founded on medieval mythology. The view we receive is from human perception that has constructed a religion much different from the original, derived from human opinions and definition of religion. The earliest construct of what we call Christianity begins centuries after the original event.
