Inerrant Bible?

"How about the pyramids? 4,500 years old and no water damage from a certain flood....... "
--I'm not going to argue it, but just a question, what was it that they dated to date the pyramids? Was it a mummmy or something enclosed in the pyramid?------------------

"How come there are so many different cultures, ethnicities, colors, of man/woman on earth?"
--Simple population genetics process of speciation and pronunciation of characteristical traits. If this is unacceptable, you may want to give punctuated equillibria another pass."When did God introduce these people?"
--Technically, God did not introduce these people, isolated populations by migration to various countries."Which ones came first?"
--Who knows."What ethnicity would Adam and Eve most resemble?"
--Who knows."How did they all originate from just two people in such a short time (4-6K years)?"
--Reproduction?"Please don't respond that it's all irrelevant, because its not! In order for the bible to be a historical document, showing origins of mankind, then I would think this information is very important."
--Yes your questions are relevent, though they should also be a bit realistic (ie, pertaining to your questions of color and the like), unless ofcourse you would like to show me the color of an extinct reptilian skin such as a dinosaur."Were Adam and Eve more intelligent than we are today?"
--Who knows in all fact, unless you have a brain sample. Though my best guess is that he was very intelligent."If so, how come they ate from the Tree of Knowledge after being specifically instructed not to?"
--Temptation, an act of deceit, not knowledge, and with how old they may have been, they didn't have very much wisdom pertaining."If you argue that they didn't know it was the tree of knowledge, then why would this be considered a sin if they didn't know?"
--If this were true, then yes, it would not have been a sin.------------------

"1)Its not a "what if" its a valid question, if there isn`t enough water to have a global flood covering each and every last bit of land it stands to reason there wasn`t one...."
--Perfectly valid questions Joz, though there should also be a willingness to cooperate with the rest of such an event. I have had vastly too much of the 'there isn't enough water to flood the world today', in which they are correct, though willingly ignorant and much too arrogant to cooperate with anything that may contredict a mainstream geologic teaching. Gladly, this is extreamly rare in this credible forum. Over the weekend I had been in the Yahoo chatroom 'Athiest vs. Christians Debate'. I am quite sorry but if you truelly would like to find what the majority of public and how ignorant and even illinformed on the topics this is the place to go.------------------

How many kids per generation of each couple (of 30 years) can I have?------------------

"Hieroglyphs probably, and C14, last I heard no mummies have ever been found in the Great Pyramids. Pillaging and all that."
--What part of hieroglyphs will they date, stone, paintings?------------------

"I don't know, but I think hieroglyphics are textual/historical evidences, not C-14 material."
--I would agree there."Naturally the ego-crazed Pharoah will want to have his terrible name plastered in as many different places as possible and with an edited and rather biased historical description of his reign. I should probably look into this."
--Even though history isn't one of my favorite subjects, and I rather have a dislike for it out of its almost complete bordom it offers me, it would be interesting to see what you find. In Joz's words, "off you go..." ------------------

"If Genesis is meant to be taken literally, then maybe someone could give me a reasonable explanation to how this happened?"
--Sounds like Population genetics, that is, the use of dominant and recessive alleles in segregation of the lambs/goats, keep in mind a previous verse:35 That same day he removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them) and all the dark-colored lambs, and he placed them in the care of his sons.
36 Then he put a three-day journey between himself and Jacob, while Jacob continued to tend the rest of Laban's flocks.--The classic Mendel experiments seemingly contrasts this effect.------------------

"How many days did this take? Three?"
--How many days did what take? What might you be refering to?------------------
