Question about Creationism and history

[Spam On Rye]

Abrahamic faiths have different cosmologies so you'd have to pick a specific paradigm. And they all don't presuppose materialism so there's gonna be more weight put on transcendental categories.

I always figured (assuming you take the story literally) that they were the first two God created, but not the only ones afterwards.

TS here was something from my cultural belief which it was similar to bible hope it was provide insights



Genesis of Power Slap: The Glorious Doctrine of #PowerSlapJuche: Book 1

1:1 In the beginning, there was been many slapping organizations, each one they was wild and ruleless, where men and women been laying hands upon each other without no regarding for safety, fairness, or regulation.

1:2 But then, a giant emerged, who he was known as Dumpling—a gift from #JustBangGod —who he was made the art of the slap known to the people. With Dumpling's his influence, the world saw slapping in a new spectacular light.

1:3 And thus, from Dumpling his reign, the Russians arose, bringing slap to the mainstream, followed by the Poles, who they was brought forth their own mighty champions, then the Appalachian leagues, where slapping was a way of life for many much ppl.

1:4 Then there was been the Slap Fight Championship, which it begot Darius the Destroyer and Wolverine “Ron” Bata, the forefathers of modern slap. But still, no single entity was exist to reigned supreme.

1:5 And Dana White he was look upon the world and he say, "Let there be opportunities!" And so, Power Slap it was born, bringing order to this chaos.

1:6 Dana then was took upon himself his first cycle of TRT (The Road to Title), with combatants enduring eight grueling weeks of preparation to bring the people a true championship.

1:7 From this cycle was came the chosen slap apostles. There was Slap Jesus, in additional to slap disciples KO Chris, Manny Muniz, Wesley "All the Smoke" Drain, Isaiah Quinones, Vern Cathey, Ayjay "Static" Hintz, El Perro, John Davis, Duane Crespo, Dorian Perez, Russell Rivero, Jewel Scott, and Robert "The Real Deal" Trujillo.

1:8 And lo, a great explosion was having occurred on social media known as the #SocialMediaExplosion, and the slap culture it was spread to all corners of the Earth. From the alleyways of India to lion plains of South Africa, from deserts of Middle East to pubs of UK, and to favelas of Brazil, the slap it was become resounded.

1:9 And so it was, that #PowerSlap become legend, reach every nation, and the world bore witness to the fitness of this Slap, a new form of sport, and the champions who would slap their way to highest pinnacle of human strength and resilience.

Actually it did. But you do you.

The video only says they banged their family members and had incest babies. So did some of the incest babies turn out to be Chinese and native american and they traveled to their respective places in the world to create civilizations within a very short time frame? It didn't address that.

No, the Bible nowhere states that the earth is 6000 years old. Some creationists get this number by counting the ages listed in the Bible of the generations from Adam to Jesus.

Interesting. I never knew how they came to that number. When I was a kid, I was told it was 5000 years but recently realized it's now 6000 years old.

I have met Christians (mostly catholics) who believe in evolution and don't take the "7 day" thing literally. 7 days to god would probably be perceived as billions of years to humans was the explanation. This makes much more sense to me. Then they told me the wine they drink during mass literally turns into the blood of christ in their body so they did lose me there.

I wondered the same thing when I was 7, and the lady running my Sunday school said that after Adam and Eve, god created more people.

Then when I was older I had a friend that was a Baptist and he said everyone came from Adam and Eve but their genetics were pure back then so you could bang your sister and not have retarded children.

My own personal belief is that we ARE the retarded children. Who knows how smart we'd be if we weren't descendants of incest.

It also made me wonder if my pastor was saying it was okay to bang my sister.

I guess biblically it's only ok to bang your sister if there are no other women on the planet

 

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

I don't think the planet is 6000 years old and that we are descendants of just two people. Doubt that.

Genetically speaking, we would all have to be. At least 2 common ancestors. Mitochondria eve is the female ancestor to all modern humans and was believe to be alive 120k years ago. Now that doesn't mean that was the only human, just the one human we all got our current DNA from. Eventually the branches connect when you go back far enough. Pretty much all species work that way.

I was just curious how believers of the Abrahamic creation story explain human history after Genesis?

This category is only a small number (proportionately) of fundamentalists who believe their religious texts are factual records. Typically they'll have some explanation about science being wrong and the specifics of that can vary.

Most followers of Abrahamic religions interpret some texts as foundational myths, others as parables used to teach some kind of a lesson, and others as historic "accounts" understood to be more or less faithful retellings of events as witnessed.

Many will cherry pick which parts to take seriously and which to ignore. For example, Leviticus 19:27 and Leviticus 11:10 are generally ignored because they're very silly. This doesn't undermine people's faith in, or sense of connection to, the divine, any more than reading Longfellow's Paul Revere's Ride should undermine the belief in US history.

Yeah technically it’s somewhere between 5000 and 6000. We call this year 2024 because it was calculated from the birth of Christ, but on the Jewish calendar the year is 5784 because they don’t care about the birth of Jesus.

All Adam and Eve tell me is that we are all inbred.

Genesis with the flood doubles down on the we're all product of inbreeding too.

Fair enough. Not a bible scholar but I would attribute it to evolution post-Babel were they scattered through the 4 corners of the world and their physical features adapted to their environments. I'm trying to look at it like a fantasy mythos pov.
