If Genesis is Metaphorical, what's the metaphor?

*sigh*just because you can't prove something didn't happen is no reason to assume it did.

nah. that's just an excuse that some women have made up to defend the lack of revolution in the predating years. if a woman is opressed, it is merely because she's too stupid to stand up for herself.note.the story depicts adam--not blaming the woman according to popular belief--but blaming god for this creature he put in with him. he doesn't even regard her as human in the tale. and this could either be a reflection of how ridiculous the writers thought the character was or a reflection of how stupid they were as well.you see. throughout history, women have demanded respect and men have given it to them. men like sex and women know how to use it. but later, when they were with their buddies they defend their honors by calling their wives shrews. this is the way it has always been and will probably always be.

hmmmm.come to think of it. that's like saying shakespear didn't write everything we think he wrote just cause his name wasn't ever spelled the same. the language wasn't yet streamlined so it wouldn't be.hmm.

just because billions of people think that sadam hussein had something to do with september 11, should we treat such arguments as close to the truth?

so that's what her degree is in. jesus. she must be a pain to have around

addendum to arach's post.even ask your photo history prof if dates will be on the test. even in the history of art, a photograph could not POSSIBLY be taken in any other year than the one it was. art moves too quickly. so does time. world war one could not possibly have started any earlier than it did. just a year prior, there was a different kaiser in germany and bismark was still in office. adolph hitler could not possibly have been elected any later than he was. public opinion would have shifted left.dates are absolutely important.This message has been edited by brennakimi, 03-06-2005 00:26 AM

yes i know. but it's something to think about.

yes yes i know.

just because most christians (or more specifically you) believe that the bible is "truth" from the mouth of god, doesn't mean that all do.arrogance does not become you. humility is your directive. use it.
