  GENESIS- Adam, Eve, Noah, etc. and Original Sin

  by Band on the Run in

  there was a distressing thread concerning this topic recently.

  there is no way i can believe these stories as literal truth or even use them as any signpost to the nt jesus/god.

  these scriptures make judaism and christianity look silly.

  Carnosaur (1984) is a horror novel written by Australian author John Brosnan, under the pseudonym of Harry Adam Knight. A film adaptation was made in 1993 by Adam Simon.

  The novel bears several similarities to Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park, though Carnosaurpreceded the latter work by six years. Brosnan feared that the public would have thought that his Gollancz reissue of Carnosaur would have been seen as a plagiarism to Jurassic Park. He admitted he liked the scene in the Crichton novel film adaption involving dinosaurs rampaging through a museum, as it bore direct similarities to an incident featured inCarnosaur. [1]

  A penis is not a wild animal no matter how much you want to spin it.

  You must not be using it right, then.

  Invisible, flying under the radar. A cousin recently told me she thought it was strange that I had been courted by a brother but no one said anything about my not being baptized. I think some folks just assumed that I had been. They never asked.

  The last meeting meeting I attended was in 1988 at the request (nagging) of my mother. It was a set up. She had arranged for a young sister to meet me in hopes of setting up a study. I shot that down quick in the hall in front of the young sister. Mother hasn't tried that again.

  The last memorial I attended was in in 1989 with my half drunk df'd boyfriend. I think he had to have a few just to go. My eyes were opened a little more to what I wasn't missing.

  The last time I stepped into a hall was in 2001 for my grandfather's memorial. My how time flies.

  Awe in Science

  you must have experienced it, too - one is almost frightened in front of the simplicity and compactness of the interconnections that nature all of a sudden spreads before him and for which he was not in the least prepared.. werner heisenberg, in a letter to albert einstein1.

  for many people, science invites awe and religion invites insight.
