Virginia Marin - Well, some may
say you have opened a can of
worms here with Adam and Eve. I
will leave the critique to those
who are more gifted in debate
than I. I will only say that
there are things in the Bible
which we, as humans, can not
fully understand. It goes
against our ability, and God
given gift, to rationalize.
Christians who believe the Bible
to be the inspired Word of God
take every word on faith. This
problem of origin provokes more
violent controversy, wild
theories and disagreement than
any other. The most majestic
verse in the Bible, to me, is
"In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth." This
is a tremendous verse! I am of
the opinion that it is the
doorway through which a person
walks into the Bible. If that
verse is questioned, there will
be questions throughout the
Book. It is not difficult for
me to believe that when God
created Adam and Eve that He
also, at some point, placed
other humans in the Land of Nod,
on the east of Eden. This is
where Cain found his wife--the
Land of Nod is where Cain dwelt
after he killed his brother,
Abel. God never condoned
incest. Since God was pleased
with Adam and Eve's creation, I
believe He simply continued in
His creation to prepare for
civilization. Well, I have
enjoyed visiting with you guys
this morning, and reading this
thought-provoking and
well-written article which I
enjoyed very much, to be sure.
