2500 years? You don't marry your sister not because it's icky, which it is, it's because it causes birth defects and hemophilia. But there you are explaining away something that's not in the text.

Again. Blood wasn't retarded. And there was no law against it.

I explained exactly what's in the text. Logic and necessary inference/conclusion demands Cain's wife was his sister.

You also need to consider that it takes several generations before inbreeding potentially becomes a problem.

If Brownflush points out that all was created in 6 24 hr days and the lineage from Adam down is stated then he is very much stating that the Earth is 6000-8000 years old.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day (Gen. 1:1-5).

Before God brought form and life to the earth, darkness hovered over the waters which covered the earth.
How many years was the the earth without form and had water but no light?

And he backs that up by saying that dinosaurs coexisted with men, who started with Adam. That somehow men managed to not be eaten by the dinosaurs before God took them out with the flood.

I back it up because "all" creatures were made by God. Man was last. Your reasoning that men somehow managed not to be eaten falls flat. I'm going to go with they probably did.

How old do you think the earth is, how old do you think life is, how old do you think humanity is?

I don't know. Neither does anyone else.

Some people got that date by adding up the ages of people mentioned in the Bible.

This 100% correct.
It would be inaccurate to age the earth with this formula.

Pitiful.

Sure we have. lol

So?

Lol! I wonder? lol!

You got something right.

Go personal when you have nothing.
Predictable, sad, and pitiful.

You're proving my point. Thanks.

 

[BrownFlush]

Never makes allowances for other people who didn't worship the God of Abraham. Different races. The Biblical account is of the Hebrews/Jews. It's their mythology.

What's this got to do with anything we're talking about right now??
Best I can tell, if you weren't in the linage of Abraham, you were an uncircumcised Gentile until Christ.

You mean the one where you do not believe the creation account?
Pitiful.

Did Got create Adam on Day 6? There was nothing but a formless Earth before those 6 24 hr days of creation? Then how would you determine the age of the Earth if you don't take into account the lineage from Adam? Which is exactly what fundamentalists do. 6000-8000 years.

Brownflush just told us that inbreeding was accepted for 2500 years.

I think that was OldGreyMam. But I agree with him because it was.

Christians can be uncircumcised. There's no law I'm aware of saying we must be. It's just standard health practice these days.

Uh-oh..sounds like you're calling out for more people to help you.

Pitiful.

The one where I believe men with primitive technology created myths to explain their world.

So?

Are you saying that for 2500 years inbreeding was ok, didn't cause problems?

I'm not saying anything. My opinion doesn't matter. There was no law against it from God until Moses.
