Re: Yet another irrelevant thing that never happened.
And your post is just another complete irrelevancy and totally missed the import of what I posted as well as being utter nonsense.
Let me try to make things clear.
You posted:
Joshua's army had rocks falling from the sky at one point to assist him in his defeating of the Canaanites. Could have been pure miraculous, could have been a meteor shower.
I pointed out that the conquest of Canaan as described in Joshua never happened and had nothing to do with the topic.
I then went on to point out that even if the GoE story were true, we still would not likely to be descended from the couple there.

Re: Yet another irrelevant thing that never happened.
And your post is nothing but another example of willful ignorance.
Genesis 18 has jack shit to do with the Conquest of Canaan and even if the city of Sodom did exist (not something really questioned by many) it has nothing to do with whether the story in Genesis 18 was true.
And that still has nothing to do with whether or not we might be descended from Adam and Eve.
Their children found wives and that means Adam and Eve were not the only folk around. If they found wives then those wives had parents. We could as likely be descendents of those other folk as Adam and Eve.

Re: Yet another irrelevant thing that never happened.
The existence of the city of Sodom still is no support for the story in Genesis.
Stop and think.
Is the fact that London exists evidence that the stories in Sherlock Holmes are true?
And stuff like Adam living 800 years should be another clue that it is not true but mythology.

Re: Yet another irrelevant thing that never happened.
Especial interesting.
He is presenting as an important example of reality a book that in its first two chapters present mutually exclusive and contradictory list of the order of creation.

Re: Yet another irrelevant thing that never happened.
Yawn.
Of course I can point out the contradictions and in fact I did point to one in the very post you are replying to.
The order of creation and the method of creation are two examples.
You continue to pervert what is actually written just as you pervert Christianity, Christ and Christs message, God, the Bible and Christianity.
You just willfully make shit up to avoid the truth.

Re: Yet another irrelevant thing that never happened.
No I certainly didn't miss it and in fact even point that out in the part of that message you failed to quote.

Moses didn't do anything, even if Moses actually existed. Some editor or redactor may have tried to cover up some of the outright contradictions.
And, of course, thanks to the blessing man received in the tale found in Genesis 2&3 we are capable of and charged to correct God when his behavior is wrong or immoral.
