I'm not sure it would have been written differently, though. When Jesus cures a blind man, we're not given details about restoring nerve function or circulation - although that must have happened. It's not what's important Subject: Re: "Fountains of the Deep" link for minstrel... From: N.

There probably was more than one author for Genesis as stated by Biblical scholars and I wouldn't be surprised if creation stories from other religions were spliced in Genesis, and not just in/with the Creatiom Story but also stories like the Tower of Babel as well. And don't forget much that could have went in the Bible did not like the story of Lilith. So not only do we not have the whole story, we don't even have the whole fictional story! The Bible is not whole... And that's my problem with YECs, they're trying to put a square peg in a round hole! So they must be on drugs! Subject: Re: "Fountains of the Deep" link for minstrel... From: hroth posted Sat, Nov 7 2009, 8:14am  I disagree with most of that, and note that you continue to ignore the days of revelation idea. I'm not overly impressed with it myself, but it's an option. If you buy into the JEPD theory of multiple authors, you have to conclude that editors spliced together phrases as short as 2 or three words. That way lies madness and despair... Lilith is legend, I think. But I guess that legit for you, because you view the rest as legend, too, more or less. To me, that's like complaining that the story of Artaban, the fourth wise man, isn't in the NT. Sure, it's fiction written in 1896, but it's all more or less fiction, right? Do you think the authors and/or editors were guided by the Holy Spirit? Subject: Re: "Fountains of the Deep" link for minstrel... From: N. Mihalos posted Sat, Nov 7 2009, 6:10pm  Do you think the authors and/or editors were guided by the Holy Spirit? Of what, the book of Genesis? Subject: Re: "Fountains of the Deep" link for minstrel... From: hroth posted Sat, Nov 7 2009, 9:00pm  Sure - or the other books of the Pentateuch, since tha's what we're discussing... Stupid missing 't' key... Subject: Re: "Fountains of the Deep" link for minstrel... From: N. Mihalos posted Sun, Nov 8 2009, 3:18am  Well, I hate to dance around the question but I'm just not sure. When someone knows there was a time women gave birth without the labor pains that can only be divine inspiration, but to then say Man was created out of dust, well, that's just not so. Plus what we're reading in the Creation Story I'm convinced is not the original version. Are YECs inspired by the Holy Spirit to distort facts to suit their agenda? They seem to think so. I don't.

If ever there is a time when there can be no labor pain it's NOW! Epidurals are a WONDERFUL thing....just ask the wife! Subject: Re: "Fountains of the Deep" link for minstrel...
