Re: Genesis should be treated just like any other theory that no longer serves a purp
It doesn't make any difference. Turtles holding the earth on their backs was an undisputed fact for eons before genisis was written.

Re: Genesis should be treated just like any other theory that no longer serves a purp
Thats not true. If the "how" is proven to have never occured, neither did the "why". for example, lets say science conclusively proves the "great flood" never ocurred. "Why" becomes irrellevant.
If you ask me "HOW is the sky blue?"...and my response is; "because particulate matter in the upper atmosphere filters out all the color spectrum of light but blue".
If you ask me "Why is the sky blue?"...my response would be..."Why isn't it blue on Mars?"

Look, I'm NOT another cheap, easy christian whore. I'm an Atheist. The Bible means about as much to me as "The cat in the hat" by Dr' Seuss.
