Originally posted by @paul-a-robertsSo the firstborn of the Earth, Adam and Eve were created with meet eating teeth, before the fall and before death entered the world and before God commanded to “go kill and eat”. And you claim that this would say nothing about the predestination of the fall of man, death entering and man becoming self dependent instead of god dependent?

Originally posted by @paul-a-robertsOnly one of my questions was a closed question which set up a premise and was followed by an open question to invite you to discuss. If you don’t want to discuss your beliefs you don’t have to, but it seems odd to make a provocative OP and then apparently turtle.
Open questions present the option to debate, closed questions kill debate.
Given opinions, enlarge on them, and then debate can begin.

It is a collection of folk more, stories passed down through the generations prior to written communication and then brought into book form over centuries, with different authors all of their own agendas.

Some posters in here will at times feel obliged to inform the forum of thier full and busy life as though it somehow exonerates them from honest timely exchanges, or maybe infers that their fellow debatee doesn’t have one. But anyway I’m pleased that you do.
If it is ...[text shortened]... ments that dismantle the biblical account and yet I’m still a Christian, which is odd in itself.
Originally posted by @divegeesterWell, my take on the OP was that it was so absurd that it must have been completely facetious. It would seem that my take was either incorrect or PAR has decided to run with it anyway.

I think the teeth example is an interesting one but too easily explained away by short term natural selection.
Male nipples is a good one.
A better question in my humble opinion (and incidentally one which I ran wit ...[text shortened]... ots and real leaves? If it did have real roots, what was it feeding on? And so on and so forth.
Originally posted by @paul-a-robertsLet it be noted that you resorted to insulting and name calling not I.
I'm new to this forum, so when an ignoramus calls me out for not replying instantly I tried to explain politely that I was busy, but hey ho.
Originally posted by @thinkofoneMy take on it also.

Originally posted by @paul-a-robertsLet me apologise for getting off on the wrong foot with you.
