you must ask:

is it not possible for a whale to swallow a man? if it were possible, the air in the whale's body would keep a man alive, would it not? so how could you say that it has never happened?

If it ever happened, which is unlikely, it was purely an accident, and the whale did NOT do it to save the man.


obviously a snake talking is a metaphor that isnt MEANT to be taken at face value. we both know what it was MEANT to be taken as.

No, I don't assume anything. Nowhere in the bible does it say that that Genesis was a metaphor.

the energy that holds together molecular bonds cannot be created or destroyed, only changed. when a person dies they decompose into the earth that they lived on their entire lives. the energy that once fueled that person changes form into soil nutrients and other random stuffs. plants suck nutrients out of soil and humans eat plants. how could it not be possible that humans come from dust? if you say it is impossible, you are doubting modern science.

Modern science is quite different from the ravings of the ignorant, naked, half-starved, savages that were responsible for the myths of the Old Testament.

to reject these claims is completely ignorant. rejection of anything without complete analyzation of possibilities arrives at a premature discovery of an incorrect truth.
There are thousands of absurd things in life that people could claim have merit, and we must judge that some of them are so stupid as to be worthless. The superstitious claims of the bible fall into this category. They are not worth the time and effort that it would take to disprove them - because it's already been done.
