Related: About this forumI find I'm a compatibilist.
My ears are also presently ringing.
Thot I'd hit the sack early, but look what I 've done.
You appreciate these, fine.
You don't appreciate these, fine.
I go either way.

(33,208 posts)are really saying why the bible shouldn't be taken as anything but another ancient myth.
No different than those of any other culture. And tells us things about tose peoples, but nothing about the existence of any gods.
Voltaire2
(12,629 posts)about reconciling free will with a deterministic physical universe. It is a hugely complicated subject, with roots going back to the beginning of the western philosophical tradition.
These days it is not about making sense of the biblical cosmology, that stuff is hopeless.

(20,136 posts)education extraordinaire like some.
I used the term to signify that I hold as reasonable in Christian theory or deduction that the cosmos and all within was created during a very long span of time and not within the rigid 'six day' timeframe. And this creative force could be seen as using an evolutionary process.
Oy.
Voltaire2
(12,629 posts)actually means. By the way the Stanford encyclopedia is a great way for anyone to get the basic of philosophy.

(42,641 posts)the meaning of the name Eve is omitted. Eve in Hebrew means life. But for some atheistic literalists, the story must only be read literally so it can be used to criticize religion.
Voltaire2
(12,629 posts)The literal interpretation of genesis, including Adam and Eve, was accepted as true within Christian culture almost universally until at least the mid 19th century.
Now of course it is embarrassingly idiotic so apologists have been inventing fan fiction to attempt to salvage something.

(42,641 posts)It might help you to not make that mistake again.
Major Nikon
(36,814 posts)Your willingness to keep repeating a massive faceplant is well worth it and you should be roundly congratulated for the effort.

(36,814 posts)You might also note how you didnt even attempt to explain how your nonsense claim wasnt a non-sequitur.
So as I said, please do continue to bear false witness. Im more than happy to republish your nonsense for all to see. There might be someone left who doesnt understand the depths of your insincerity.
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)Which makes me wonder about what exactly you feel you are doing, and why.
Major Nikon
(36,814 posts)Thats why.
Please continue drawing attention to your blatant false accusations. Ill keep letting you do so as long as you want.

(42,641 posts)I am uncertain at this point who is winning.
Major Nikon
(36,814 posts)I politely explained how you misrepresented my post from the beginning and even gave you the benefit of the doubt. You should have quit while you were behind. Now its just a matter of seeing how many times you want to relive your mistake.
By all means please continue. Im interested to see how far down the rabbit hole this goes and Im easily amused.
Major Nikon
(36,814 posts)Not to mention the billions of people who did so since that story originated. Seems like it would take a lot of "hubris" to believe you got it right and they got it wrong, no?
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)Writing about the literal meanings of the names is not hubristic, it is actual knowledge.
Major Nikon
(36,814 posts)Oh wait, I forgot you just parroted it and pretended it was your own original thought. Either way you disparage those who do actually take it literally and have for thousands of years.
I believe someone once said, Some feel that their own intellect is capable of discerning what is true and what is merely illusion. The Greeks had a word for that. The word is hubris.
Cant for the life of me remember who said that. At any rate it makes more sense now, no?
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)It must get tiring.
Major Nikon
(36,814 posts)Do you even read what you write, or do you have something that produces this material for you?
Either way its hilarious, so please dont stop.
