  The Garden of Eden = The Fertile Crescent? The Bible's Myths...

  recently i've noticed a theory spreading around the scientific/philosophical world that the garden of eden was simply a myth of the fertile crescent.

  it's sounds plausible when you actually think about it.

  there are multiple different theories concerning it, but the most famous one is that the original hebrews were cast out of the area by a more powerful tribe, and doomed to live in the outside-non-civilized wild world.

  Free Will and Foreknowledge

  hi, i'm a new member that enjoys civil debate, so i thought i'd just throw a topic out there.. if we take the standard, contemporary judeo-christian god (all-knowing, all powerful, and perfectly good in every possible way) and attempt to incorporate free will, we end up with a contradiction.

  an all knowing being knows everything that has occured, is occuring and will occur, if otherwise then we can not consider this being to know all.

  if god knows all that will happen, then he knows our decisions, as well as the outcomes of those decisions.
