    Evolution of languages

    Ok, the way I see it is the Anatolian hypothesis as the origin of PIE is disjointed, and seems more to be dating a language based on evidence of agriculture. The conventional theory of the PIE languages origin within the Pontic steppes circa 6000 years ago I think makes more sense, as it gives a...

    Evolution of languages

    I quoted directly from your source. Whilst we could trace back primitive spoken language to single sources or otherwise, I don't believe all languages were equal in terms of the depths of their vocabulary. Yes, the way I see it is speech could have started in Anatolia or elsewhere. Speech is...

    The story of the Bible is a journey, from the garden, back to the garden, with a twist.

    Yes. Created at a time before plants, i.e. day 2 of creation. Mankind created specifically on day 6. On day 6 no partner could be found for Adam, so God removed his rib and put him in a deep sleep. Adam did not wake on day 7, and since God was resting, Eve was created (at the earliest) on day 8.

    The story of the Bible is a journey, from the garden, back to the garden, with a twist.

    I read Genesis 1 and 2 as a single chapter, 8 verses at a time, 7 "stanzas" in total. Adam was the first man, yes, created on the 2nd day. This is separate to "mankind", other men and women who were made in God's image on the 6th day. Most people who debate this point with me say these verses...

    The story of the Bible is a journey, from the garden, back to the garden, with a twist.

    That verse describes the creation of mankind (separate to Adam). Adam was created from dirt, so who was the one who did that?

    Evolution of languages

    Two points about the Anatolian hypothesis "Estimates of the age of the Indo-European family derived from models of vocabulary evolution support the chronology implied by the Anatolian hypothesis, but the inferred dates remain controversial (5, 10, 12), and the implied models of geographic...

    The story of the Bible is a journey, from the garden, back to the garden, with a twist.

    Who is Adam's father? To me father is synonymous with creator. I don't think deception happened at all, so I agree it wouldn't be like I think.

    The story of the Bible is a journey, from the garden, back to the garden, with a twist.

    They knew their God, and they knew God is good. Wanting to be closer to their father and creator is only human nature. But it should not come at the cost of their lives.

    Hamas Leader Sinwar Killed in IDF strike

    Hand played means we can leave the table. The rest is up to everyone else who is holding out. Being no longer complicit or hypocritical is aslo an achievement.

    The story of the Bible is a journey, from the garden, back to the garden, with a twist.

    Attempting to understand what they believed is more relevant than what they did. Otherwise your understanding of the story starts with the tree, not Genesis 1:1.

    Hamas Leader Sinwar Killed in IDF strike

    Yes, but at least this way other countries aren't also guilty by association. Recognizing both Israel and Palestine can only help towards ending the cycle. For countries who are not the US, this is their only hand to play.

    The story of the Bible is a journey, from the garden, back to the garden, with a twist.

    Eve believed she would become one with God, as did Adam who was with her. Their desire was greater than their fear of death, and the intent to eat was expressed as one flesh. Once they ate, they realized their mistake, and understood fear, of God, was absolute. God provides justice, as their...

    Hamas Leader Sinwar Killed in IDF strike

    This will force many Western countries to then decide if they will support Israel unilaterally, or join the rest of the world and recognize Palestine independantly.

    Hamas Leader Sinwar Killed in IDF strike

    Lets talk about the future. It is time for everyone to be realistic about 2 state solution. Muslims, Jews, everyone.

    Italy makes surrogacy an universal crime

    How’s that Italian birth rate looking? ;) Altruistic surrogacy should be legal. If an Italian woman has a sister who can carry the child that she cannot then why not? If an Italian widow can still have IVF if her husband dies, then Italy’s surrogacy laws make no sense.

    Hamas Leader Sinwar Killed in IDF strike

    Hamas is finished. Most people in Gaza now support 2 state solution, and I would imagine even more so now that Yahya is dead. Hopefully the West Bank and Israel can do the same.

    The Religion of Politics.

    “You know what I mean” is the most conniving of statements. To oppose it can imply stupidity on the responder, but the look becomes defiance when the “No I don’t know what you mean” is not followed up by a genuine opportunity for “please explain”. Men can “mansplain” until the cows come home...
