That means that Adam and Eve's kids were copulating with each other.
Don't you get that?
Just admit it - incest is ok with you but same sex relationships aren't.
Kind of a double standard, don't you think?
Heck not just incest but getting back to the OP polygamy also. There are tons of early prophets and patriarchs who had multiple wives and or sex partners.
The Early Mormons and Muslims had a fairly solid scriptural basis going in. In fact, Christianity probably dropped it because it would never have been tolerated by the Pagan Roman women they were trying to convert.
It's amazing the extent that at least some religious folk will go to explain everything, even if it makes no logical sense, and then call on "god" as the explainer of the rest.
You can believe whatever you want, but keep it to yourself. The non-religious among us here aren't trying to shove anything down the throats of the religious.
The worst use of religion, imo, is as a reason for hate.
great question fuse. why didn't the big guy just make more animal pairs.
He was "testing" our faith.

God works in mysterious ways. And, of course, he's testing our faith. Just trust god...
Amazing how uninformed you are. God has had other civilizations living here on this earth.. Maybe if you read the bible you would have found that out.
So you do not believe any intelligence went into creation.. it just all happened. Put a seed in the ground and a tree springs up.. everything here came out of the ground.. quite amazing isn't it.. we came from the ground and we go back into the ground..
Exactly, we came from the ground and will go back to it. But we were not created and there is no proof of a god. God is for those who are insecure with just existing and dying. I do not believe that there was an intelligence behind our existance. We evolved from a common ancestor to the apes, that is why we are a primate. It is you that is uninformed, you rely on your bible for explaining the existance of life here on this planet. I believe in the evidence proven by science.
Maybe god had some fields that needed irrigating and that's where the water went afterwards.
The other stuff - I haven't a clue.
From what I understand, god created our earth 6000 years ago, put six days of work into it, when a great flood came he said, Ah, screw it - let little Noah take care of it, and he's been leaning back in his heavenly recliner for the remaining 2,189,994 days since, just chilling and watching this place slowly spin out of control.
Once in a while, he get's upset when we embrace homosexual citizens (or others) and sends a flood, earthquake, or a tornado as a friendly warning that we're not pleasing him.
My theory is that since many humans are dyslexic that we got the word god bass akwards, turn it around and we get Dog, the one species that has shared its life with us for over 30,000 years, they have been our guides, protectors, servants and fellow travelers through many millenniums. Dog is my passenger.
Well, dogs DO possess the traits you'd really want in a deity. Pure love. Adoration. The ability to forgive and forgive and forgive. Always ready to protect you. Always ready to defend you. Never judgemental. Full of joy.
Works for me!

Sure - he's omnipotent. Just imagine what he COULD do...
