The Adam&Eve MYTH destroys the foundation of Christianity! (link)


Very interesting article below on how even most Christians agree Adam&Eve never existed and therefore that destroys the entire foundation of Christianity! Only more indication on how Christianity is a FRAUD and a LIE based on superstitious middle eastern MYTHOLOGY!

The College is in a ferment over a topic close to my heart: the historicity of Adam and Eve. Even conservative Christians, it seems, have trouble believing that Adam and Eve were the literal ancestors of humanity. That historicity has become increasingly problematic since the appearance of new papers in population genetics, showing that over the last few hundred thousand years, the population of Homo sapiens could not have been smaller than about 12,250 (10,000 who remained in Africa and 2,250 who migrated out of Africa to populate the rest of the globe). 

In other words, the human population never comprised only two people. And if Adam and Eve weren’t the literal ancestors of humanity, then a critical part of the Genesis story is wrong: the acquisition of Original Sin. And if there were no Original Sin accrued by a literal Adam and Eve, then all of us—their supposed descendants—aren’t sinful by birth, and Jesus’s return wasn’t necessary.

Answer--no. Darwin's IDEAS are not impacted by the fact that people told a story about him that wasn't true.

The IDEAS of Christianity--and the question of God's existence--are not impacted by the fact that Adam and Eve are a Jewish creation myth adopted by Christians much later on. It's likely that even the people who originally told that story didn't intend it to be taken literally. Myths are part of how people relate to the world around them, and EVERYBODY HAS THEM, including scientists--and atheists.

We should know them for what they are, but we shouldn't reject them--we need them.

Jesus himself is not a myth, though there are mythic aspects to the way people remember him--as there are with many other historical figures, including some that are alive today.

On the other hand, it's a total myth that snopes.com said Jesus was pure myth. A myth you helped promulgate, Mega. But you were just an innocent dupe. Basically, that's all you've ever been.

I wasn't bluffing about posting your humiliation back up on top of this forum, if you keep making pointless threads here.

YOU are the one who has been HUMILIATED and OWNED you delusional ChristNUT! You are in TOTAL denial that Jesus is just an allegorical figure no different than Horus, Mithras, and other gods he was copied from! For almost 2000 years this crazy middle eastern religion has made all sorts of insane supernatural claims that NEVER come true! Even Christians admit the religion is dying and people who KNOW the religion is a MYTH are proven right every day!

You can easily prove there is NO difference between praying to the mythical Jesus or Zeus, Thor, or Mithras!

1. WHERE is your mythical Jesus when even Christians say there is a genocide of Christians in the middle east and even Christian kids are getting decapitated!

2. WHERE is your mythical Jesus when over a 1000 sick Christian kids die every year? One of my former neighbors had a sick kid with neuroblastoma and she played every day to your WORTHLESS Jesus but the 9 year old died anyway! She trashed the bible right in front of me and said she might as well have been praying to a wall!

You are a FOOL to think the story of one god has any more truth than another because the REALITY is it does NOT!

You only show what naive MORON you are by bringing up Snopes because Snopes has ZERO evidence Jesus is real! I have spoken to clergy and history professors and it all boils down to believing the bible! They ALL say the evidence of Jesus outside the bible is WEAK or non existent!

1)Jesus isn't anywhere. He was a man. He lived, and he died. I don't know if the soul survives death--I can't even prove there is such a thing as a soul--but Jesus was a historical figure. He can no more intervene in human events than Alexander the Great, who conquered much of the globe, and yet we have basically no contemporary historical records of him, and absolutely nothing written by him. That's all I've ever said. I revere what Jesus stood for, but I don't pray to him, any more than I do to Alexander (who was, in fact, worshiped as a god, as were many of the Roman Emperors, and quite honestly hundreds of undoubted historical figures--who still existed!).

2)Why does the existence of death--a natural process, that all living things are subject to--prove anything about the validity of religion? Don't you realize that the more pain and death there is around us, the more people want to believe in something besides themselves? The only reason religious faith is declining in parts of the west is that we've temporarily made it easier for people to live long lives without the constant fear of death, so they feel more self-sufficient (even though that's an illusion, and we're more dependent than ever). But that very technological civilization is taking a terrible toll on the planet's resources, and may lead, in time, to a collapse of civilization as we know it--and people will be back to their own devices. And will need faith to sustain them. Unfortunately, faith tends to breed fanaticism, but as you yourself prove, atheism can be just as fanatical and irrational and judgmental. And as the 20th century proves, even more homicidal and repressive.

3)I don't believe in the literal truth of any religion, while respecting the valid points each has to make (which tend to be remarkably similar, not because they're copying from each other, but because great minds think alike). And you insisting that I do, while posting links to websites that deliberately promulgate hoaxes--like The National Report--only goes to show that you're as bad as the very worst religious fundamentalists. You, like them, refuse to hear anything that disagrees with your twisted view of reality. You are exactly like them. I am not. You are accusing me of your own sins. A very religious thing to do. 😎
