The religious explanations are not in agreement, despite what you say. “Adam & Eve” is from the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition. Hindus believe we came from Manu. For the Norse, Ask and Embla were created from driftwood. The native Indian tribes had many different stories.

The contradictions have never bothered me that much, because I treat the Adam and Eve story as symbolic, and not literal. If you start treating the Bible or the Qur’an as literal, you’ll either be confused, left stupefied, or turn into Pat Robertson or Osama bin Laden.

I think Kansas is the only state that actually presents creationism in the classroom. The schools in Kansas also rank among the highest in the nation…I guess those students are a lot smarter for being presented with BOTH. A theory is just that…just a theory. Theory doesn’t mean that it is absolutely true.

For those who don’t believe in God, you have that right to believe what you want. That’s what the Constitution entitles you to do. Don’t be hatin’ on the Christians just because they have faith in the “unseen” and you don’t.

It’s up to believers to make their cases and argue against Science, with Science. You can’t go by the bible anymore, it’s discredited in too many ways to be used as proof in logical discussion. But that doesn’t mean all is not lost. You just have to keep searching.
