The bible also reflects the creation story that is much older than the Hebrew version. That's one reason why the first chapters of the bible read so weird. It talks of two different first couples being made. The first was made equal out of clay and life breathed into them and the second was Adam and then a rib taken from Adam to make Eve. The first version was Lilith but they don't include her name and what her story actually was so it makes the bible a little confusing on why there are two versions of the making of the first couple. some say one is the creation of the earth and the 2nd was a creation of the garden... some say the 1st version is the whole story and the 2nd is just a general run down of what happened in the first story.... What do you believe the case is Wally?

What do you believe the case is Wally? haven't really did a study on it so not sure.... Fair enough. If you were to do a study, how would you go about it? Maybe by trying to discover the cultural world behind a story that was understood by the ancient people but has been lost in our modern world...

And some say that it was one story made into two to take into consideration the beliefs of the Hebrew people, that women were not equal to men like Lilith was to Adam in the original story. Hey people say a lot of things...

Why are our most beloved ideas about the human race and also our belief system being challenged every day? In 2012 it was reported on the BBC that The earliest unambiguous evidence for modern human behavior has been discovered by an international team of researchers in a South African cave. Please note that unambiguous means weasel words can’t be used to change the meaning of this find. The finds provide early evidence for the origin of modern human behavior 44,000 years ago, over 20,000 years before other findings. The artefacts are near identical to modern-day tools of the indigenous African San bush people. Since 2012 many more reports have come in to continue to change our comfort zone of belief. Science isn't about making us comfortable, it's about challenging our beliefs and giving us the most up to date understanding of our world that we thankfully know will change to take new data into consideration. My comfort zone is in change. When someone wants to stick to believing something that has been proven to be wrong, that makes me uncomfortable. It means we've stagnated and we aren't learning anything and as the current world situation shows us, we can never afford to quit learning if we want to survive.

I find the current world situation very sad. We know the COVID-19 virus kills and we know how to destroy it (by social isolation), but in many parts of the world society seems incapable of organising itself to deal with the problem. We value selfish freedoms more highly than the wellbeing of our most vulnerable. Example from today's news: Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said people were still not getting the message. "We had a case last week where a group of people, a dozen or so, went to a dinner party," he told reporters this morning."As best we can tell the dinner party started with one person who had the coronavirus. By the end of the dinner party almost everybody at the dinner party had the coronavirus."

They seem to think that it's an over reaction to shut things down etc. But since it is our ONLY defense against this virus, it's also the most important. Something to lighten the subject a little. 'We thought dogs were difficult to teach to sit and stay"!!
