Genesis 5:1-3
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth.
Discuss.
Such a charming bit of history…… are you all the sons and daughters of Seth?
So … My children. I reveal the answer. Adam was the common ancestor of humans and neanders. Seth was was the first homo sapiens. His wife was Azura, a neanderthal.
The story is in a book neglected by Christians, the Book of Jubilees, and has been confirmed by modern geneticists and archaeologists. who have shown that the female carried forth the neander genome.
Once more, the Prophet Goldy has revealed the truth open to you all by My science.
Interesting how “in his likeness” and “after his image” are separate concepts here. It occurres to me that this seems to define that age-old idea that the Father “creates” the son, that the son is required to adhere to that image that the father created for him during his upbringing. This would go a long way to explaining most of my Metalhead friends. Practically every single one of them hates their father with absolute passion, and wouldn’t piss on their face if his nose were on fire, for good reason.
Many of them were raised by hard-core fundamentalist christians, Fathers who went to church every sunday, participated in church activities like toy drives, and required absolute submission to their authority as the father. But those men were also often alcoholics, wife beaters, kid beaters animal torturers and hard-core authoritarians. So absolutely rigid in their belief system and unwilling to ever admit they could have been wrong about anything that they alienated everyone, especially their own children.
There are a LOT of men like this in the world. The religion is everything to them. It supplants love, it supplants basic affection, it supplants childhood instruction for everything not directly concerned with the Faith. It totally subjugates the basic needs of the Family in favor of that belief system and the organization that promotes it. That conscious and deliberate intention to create the son in the image of the father backfires in a way that the father cannot ever relate to because those kids grow up with a moral character structure that bears no relation to the realities of the world and is antithetical to the teachings they did receive as children. When those kids grow up and realize this, and realize that conflict, they come to the understanding that their father was a freak, and a liar, and a terribly evil person.
I see the Ned Flanders character on The Simpsons, and I cannot help but wonder if that guy isn’t a wife beater, or harbors a secret fetish for torturing kittens with a blowtorch while forcing his kids to watch. Simply because I know people that grew up in households like that, and that is what their fathers were like behind closed doors. The public image is of piety and deep religious convictions, the private one is of terrible emotional cruelty.
I just woke up, so i is early and I am going to plod through a few websites commenting on Ayn Ryans selection as the guy who is in the VP slot on the losing ticket in 2012.
But this post gets my “who gives a shit” award of the day.
Congratulations! Golf clap!
@2 The etiology of a Republican …
@3 You should see the neanders on (u)SP writhing because I told them Ryan is fhe frontrunner for the 2016 GOP nomination. Our old friend Ricky D. is having a seizure over what the electoral vote map looks like. And pudge tells me he can’t be wrong, “literally.” Which, if true, means he’s God. Literally.
Oh my Dr Steve the Pathologist has lost it now!
Sorry, Puddy but Africans do not have neander genes .. I guess the story does not apply to you?
Apparently I’m suppose to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money, than what Obama does with mine.
Liberal Scientist and other atheists. The one thing that has NEVER been explained by an atheist/evolutionist is “Why are human beings the ONLY creature on earth that contemplate their origin?”
Anxiously look forward to your scientific responses. Suspect all I’ll hear is attacking nonsense, but it’s worth a shot. So give it your best shot.
Creationist
“Why are human beings the ONLY creature on earth that contemplate their origin?”
Unless you are Me, how do you know what whales, dogs, chimps or even fish think?
Has it ever occurred to you that your Dog see you as its God?
BTW, your species is also unique amongst life on earth in other ways:
1. No other species shaves.
2. No other species communicates via radio frequency.
3. There is no other hairless, bipedal mammal.
4. Only Man kills Man over disagreements of who or what I am.
5. Only humans make TOFU.
6. Only humans practice genetic engineering.
7. Only humans use the breast as an object of sexual display.
8. Only humans make and wear clothing.
9. Humans are not unique but do excel in extinction of other species.
10.Only humans build statues in My image.
Wait! The first couple was Adam and ADAM!!? Hey, if we can have talking snakes, why can’t we have gay intercourse result in a live birth? It’s all magic after all.
