Are we all descendants of Adam and Eve?

Since Eve was just a clone of Adam it would be better to just say we are all descended from Adam.

Too funny. That once again Paul was either ignorant or he was speaking idiomatically and using commonly known myths.Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

Well, the former is easy to prove. Humans were around and spread all over the world before Adam or Eve existed.So that leaves the alternative which is using mythos to make a point.And yes, of course I don't think there was a "first" man, rather there has been a spectrum of critters that very gradually evolved into what we call a human. The "first" man is simply an arbitrary point we select and use loosely and imprecisely.

No, it is NOT my belief, it is the conclusion based on the evidence.No belief needed.

It is a conclusion based on ALL of the evidence.What the evidence shows is that life is a succession of evolving critters, each only slightly different than its parents.As the Bible says, MAN names the beasts and that includes even man.We can pick one point in evolutionary history and call it "first" BUT that is only valid based on some set of characteristics and no more valid than some other point we call "first" based on a different set of characteristics.It's not a weakness of science rather an acknowledgement of reality and truth.

Again, that depends on which of the myths you are pointing to in the Bible.And the evidence is that man is no more unique than any other critter. And that is just another example of you being wrong yet again. The biggest cop outs regarding "their sins" are the bullshit called Original Sin and the con job of "Are you Saved?"

Oh good grief.Because they are not humans?How come there is no other being on the planet exactly like or even close to a cheetah?How come there is no other being on the planet exactly like or even close to a bonobo? I mean humans are neat. But it is unrealistic to believe that any other living thing on the earth can be classed with a T-Rex.I mean humans are neat. But it is unrealistic to believe that any other living thing on the earth can be classed with a Sequoia.See how silly that post of yours was, how totally free of any content.

Can you really be as dense and ignorant as that post suggests.First, yes, Extraterrestial Unintelligents would be every bit as exciting, and we are actively searching for just that, or did you miss our devices we have sent to the moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, the outer planets.And to claim post modernest despair just makes you sound silly.The reason that SETI looks for "Intelligence" (which is not what SETI relly looks for) is that it was pretty silly to look for signs of watercress across interstellar distances. However today we have better technology and Yes Virginia, we do look for signs of life, intelligent or not. Again, that is simply a really stupid question. Scientists would be equally excited by either scenario. The people of earth are generally ignorant and apathetic, and would likely rather someone make a reality TV show about them; maybe Real Housewives of Andromeda.But which the people would be more interested in is irrelevant. Every species is unique on the earth. Sorry if your false pride keeps you from admitting that.

Again, you are simply showing your ignorance but that hopefully can be cured.There is far less need to travel to any technologically advanced world and lots of reasons not to. As an exercise try to figure out three major reasons that is true.Second, when NASA sent out the Voyager probes they did include pictures of animals and sounds of animals and drawings of hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms and diagrams of our solar system and many other artifacts.But those were all just freebees, stuff that was likely a waste of time and that no one ever expected to really be seen; but the additional costs were so low it made sense to include them. Word salad. Sorry but that is just jabberwocky. Higher plane of consciousness? Higher plane of life? Well when on a Southwest flight the latter might be true but in general that is just nonsense.AbE: Here is the information about the sounds that are on Voyagers Golden RecordEdited by jar, : see AbE

There is far less need to travel to any technologically advanced world and lots of reasons not to. As an exercise try to figure out three major reasons that is true.

For the same reason that dogs do not elect a human as their President.And again, just what the hell does any of your nonsense and rabbit holes have to do with the topic?

Again, for scientists there would be no difference. Which the general public thinks is more interesting is pretty much irrelevant.Now, will you try to answer the question?

I am human and so while I do hate much that humanity does and has done, I don't hate humanity.But I am also honest and so realize that in many ways humans are inferior to other critters, less successful than other critters, particularly the other great apes like the gorilla.

And that's fine. I can't imagine why your opinion of me should carry any weight. But perhaps, you might try actually addressing some of the issues raised.

Again, I have absolutely no problem with you thinking that.But perhaps you might actually address the issues raised and even if possible address the topic.Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

Or a cockroach.
