A Crafty, Talking Serpent?

I have a question for people who take the Genesis creation stories literally. Check it out and, when you have a chance, please share your response. Thanks.

Not true, you can have proof and still be a skeptic on how reliable is the evidence. Courts use witness testimony as a strong staple in proving a case regardless of evidence. As far as Biology and Cosmology, I understand they are different studies but I believe you can't have biology without cosmology which is why I believe Darwin included it as the beginning. Id rather be "superstitious" of God than put my faith in a 'free thinking' society with no absolutes. Scientific theories have been wrong

[ I wasn't there to witness and I don't know all the details ]

Imagine if courts did this. Not being there and having no evidence is grounds for skepticism, not unquestioned acceptance.

[ Big Bang ... Darwin (the author) ]

Darwin has nothing to do with the big bang. Biology and Cosmology are two distinct scientific disciplines.

[I prefer to know why]

Deluding yourself with superstition isn't the same as knowing. Scientific theories are the why.

I believe in the bible and this is an account that I have to believe happened. Since I wasn't there to witness and I don't know all the details, I believe Moses (the author). Kinda like those who believe in the Big Bang, no one was there to witness, they have to believe Darwin (the author) both seem far fetch to natural order but at least the Bible answers the "why" where evolution answers the "what" happened. I prefer to know why.

"Also, you are assuming that God isnt real, you can not back that up."

No uncaused cause has been observed, thus no god is real, thats why if you look, thats why their are so many gods...all man made

Furthermore, he sent satan to earth....was in a garden...because your god sent him to earth/garden..rather than somewhere else. Your god then creates man/woman [already knowing satan was in garden].... for sin to continue as sin was SENT to earth...and thus earth is corrupt..and then blames man for?????...not of man doing but from the source [your god]

"God didnt create sin, sin didnt happen in heaven, the fall of what happened in heaven? Man did fall, on earth. My God didnt fell,"

In the fictional story....sin was created in heaven, when your god created satan..without the creation of satan no sin can exist...Thus your god created sin, thats why heaven is corrupt as that is where sin orginated from. Your god even KNEW sin would be created by creating him...and still created

That does not have anything to do with what we were talking about? But, God didnt create sin, sin didnt happen in heaven, the fall of what happened in heaven? Man did fall, on earth. My God didnt fell, He came to earth and accomplished what we never could. That is success. Also, you are assuming that God isnt real, you can not back that up.

2:57 Nice picture. The Angel looks like he's going to smask the hell out of Eve. :D

I'm not a bible believer but... I would point out that there's no reason to believe serpent means the modern biological definition or classification of one, since there were no biologists nor was there modern science. the only message I saw from the book was that you're supposed to "do the right thing." there's no mention of churches, 10% of your income, fiery burning hells, or praying a sinners prayer. Therefore I say whether or not you're a "christian" is irrelevant. Religions dont matter.
