In reply to the discussion: Genesis Veracity Foundation! [View all]Thats my opinion

Neither of them are true if you mean historic. They are both stories that were produced by different traditions. You keep beating this dead horse because it is still an easy target, instead of dealing with what contemporary theology is really saying. These stories are about what never happened but is always true. Jews have always known the difference. Christian fundamentalists do not, but Christian progressives do. If you want a rational conversation deal with religious people who take scientific evidence and mythology seriously.

I think that Kurmudgeon was referring to the Genesis Veracity Foundation, not to anyone's post.

C'mon, even if you're a creationist, it's clear that this site was created by an insane person.

Gen 1:25-27 and 2:18-22 cannot both be true. Hence one disproves the other. nt

Because a sizeable plurality if not outright majority of believers take this crap seriously

And when they just look blankly in return, can we converse on their level then?

No, that's a supposition carved out of wholecloth solely to support a ridiculous myth.
