Quote from: "SSY"
Quote from: "Wraitchel"I think most christians would be better able to point out the flaws in this grossly biased document, but even I can point out one big one:  Genesis says that god did warn Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge. It was pretty much the only rule they had. It is a beautiful bit of mythology, a god denying his curious creations the one thing they need in order to reach their potential, and ultimately become like him.

If god is all knowing, then surely he could predict they would eat the fruit anyway? Makes the whole exercise seem kind of pointless and convoluted to me.

Right. The entire account of the creation story is just retarded. There's not a better word for it.

I was going to post the Lewis Black quote about the creation story, but I just can't find it.  :(
