From a book of faith different people glean from it what they will IMO,i read the Bible,i think its a great book or set of books,for me its a view of a distant culture from the past much like the Qur'an is.

the bible doesnt actually say Adam named ALL of the animals
it says that God brought animals to the man, in the garden, and he named 'those' animals.

This is misdirection on your part. My argument has been that people once thought the city of troy was only a myth and now we not it is an actual place. This means that it is possible other places, people etc. that people now think of as myths may one day be found to be actual places, people etc.
You are forgetting my earlier post which shows that there are events, people, places etc. in the bible, that there is historical evidence for and is corroborated by writings from other cultures and both those cultures and the bible wrote about those people, places, events etc. at right about the time they would have happen.
This means for you to argue that none of the bible is literal, you have to argue that the bible and other cultures wrote almost the exact same myths about real people, places, events etc. all at around the same time thise people, places, events etc. existed. It is more realistic to believe these were based on actual historical people, places, events etc. Which is why most historians believe that after the time of king solomon the bible is probably historical fact.

no these are facts posted at wiki.
look bud i know what you are trying to say.
I have been telling you if you know real history and understand the origins of storys in the bible and in greek mythology allot are based on places or events with mythical folklore built around these places pr events.
a event happens, then the story is told and then added to. This is not just common it is how mopst everything was written down back then.
an example would be if they found the graden of eden, this would not prove that adam and eve were there or that there was a talking snake,,,,, or that all of genesis is factual
Please read post #23 in this thread. Im really tired of repeating myself to you.

incorrect to a certain degree. All any historian can say for certain is that there might have been a king solomon.
we know there are lies in the bible about this figure and that most of it is mythology.
The mines are not gold, but they have found copper mines and a smelting factory in ruin that dates to that time
he did not have 1000 wives and whores as the whol region at that time didnt have that many people.
the storys are mythological in nature based around a few facts. some events are not fact we know this for certain.
I have no problem with you thinking of scripture this way. Its when people say they "tried christianity" and they know scripture and then misquote it, that shows they didnt try hard enough.

this is only your opinion and you should have stated such no you are blatantly proselytizing which is against forum rules.
the facts you do not know is that the redactor edited two different books into genesis.
there are 5 different authors or groups attributed to genesis.
please quit with your blind opinion

I guess you dont believe in evolutionary theory? For example evolutionary theory says all dogs descended from a wolf. Which means adam wouldnt have had to name hundreds of different dogs, he would have only had to name a wolf. If we apply this to many creatures adam wouldnt have had to do much naming. Plus as pegg said these were only the local birds and beasts of the field that were created during the time of adam that he named and not all the previous birds and beasts of the field that would have existed.
Lmao!!! Read what i wrote please. "AFTER the time of king solomon." Do you know what after means?

I was giving you a example
the bible is not historically accurate after king solomon
you need to back your opinion with facts , you know links ect.
so far your seem like a lost creationist with no knowledge of history at all.
It is only your opinion that people havent lived past around 120 years old, yet you said you know for a fact that nobody has ever lived past around 120 years old. This is your opinion and not a fact. You did not know every person who ever existed to say you know for a fact that nobody lived this long.
I can easily give a dozen examples of you saying you know for a fact, about something that is just your opinion. Just like you saying it is a fact that that 2 books were edited into genesis. That is not a fact, it may be some scholars opinion but it is not a fact.
Nowhere in my post did i state that it was a fact. However you have stated dozens of times that your opinion is a fact. You are attempting to accuse me of violating forum rules because you have been embarrased by me constantly correcting you. Perhaps you should remove the wooden beam from your own eye before trying to remove my splinter.
I have never tried to convert anyone to my religion ever in my life. In fact if you read my response just a few posts ago i said something like, seek and you shall find, if you dont look for the truth yourself then there is nothing i can do to help you find it. Its not my job to convert you or anyone else, if you or anyone else wants to be converted you have to do it yourself.
Lmao!!! If i tell people a building is on fire, you would accuse me of trying to convert people to the avoid getting burned to death religion. This is just getting ridiculous now!
You were giving me an example that happened during the time of solomon and not after, so you clearly dont know what after means.
So far you sound like an atheist with no knowledge of history at all. I already posted a link in this thread that supports what i said. Im not going to keep repeating myself to you. If you have a bad memory you should let me know because otherwise it just seems like you are purposely making repeat myself so you can gather some new information while i do so. Im not playing this game with you. Unless you have a real memory issue, im just going to tell you to reread the thread and not waste my time repeating my posts.
