Re: Reincarnation, angelic beings and ancient mythology
No dancing around the hot porridge (as the Danes say colloquially) or the bush!
Yes, the fossil record is utterly fascinating!
I was very interested by the pointers of a creationist website some 7 years ago by the point that there is a minute but continual thickening of bone about the brow, nasal ridge, jaw, etc, of even today's elderly, and it gave me pause to think about the whole subject of Neanderthals.
The records of genesis can't be very reliable at all if their way of counting years was so off to fit 900 years (the example of methuselah) into 90.
On the other hand there is consistently the question of the dinosaurs, but that is again a genesis puzzle.
So you believe in man ascending physically, but the spirit of man being an impartation of God at the moment of the creation of adam and eve, where at that point in evolution the vessels of clay (the mammalian ape) was intelligent enough to carry the divine spark?
''the sons of god are the sons of Adam''
There's a few issues with that statement, but they do come down to semantics, interpretation and translation again.
I think at the moment I'll let the matter rest and say a thank you for the discussion-
Cisco study for ccna5.1 right now. Gheh.
