WOTM: In Quest of the Historical Adam, Part II
In part II, we look at all the damage Bill's ideas will do (thankfully) to traditional Christian theology. Bill seems to have forgotten that all the supernatural beginnings — of EVERYTHING, are contained in those first 11 chapters of Genesis. Including the elements of the story which set up the need for a supernatural redeemer. Sorry, Jesus!
The laughable part of Craig's idea is his insistence that Adam has to be an actual historical figure... because the apostle Paul talked about him (Adam) as having effects in the real world — which can't be caused by a merely literary figure. What are those effects? Watch to find out. Oooh!!! I've never done a cliffhanger before! That was fun!!!
Thanks again, gang. Now to the fun stuff!!! B

Oh dear! Christians keep getting this wrong. They claim that "Adam's sin" brought death into the world. But Adam was not immortal, so he was destined to die any way. How do I know this? Because God hisself tells us that A & E were ejected from the Garden so that they wouldn't also eat from the Tree of Life and become immortal. This would not be seen as a problem if they are already immortal, no? And, Yahweh also contradicts Paul and WLK in Ezekiel 18 where God, through the prophet, tells us that sin cannot be inherited or transferred! That only a sinner can pay for their own sins, so substitutionary forgiveness of sins was also not allowed. Down goes Jesus! Down goes Jesus! (Hear this with Howard Cosell's voice.) In just a few choice words, Yahweh cuts the legs off from under Christianity. There is no Original Sin because sin cannot be inherited. There is no need of a savior in that case, and besides which another cannot pay for your sins. (This message was approved by God.)
Billy is so pathetic: he epitomizes mental masturbation. He tries to throw out the bathwater, but keep the invisible sky-baby.
This is so excellent! I think you said 'billions of years,' as Carl Sagan? Hey, Jim Hall of Atheist Edge has a book called 'Pulling Back the Curtain'! I did, in a compilation, 10 parts of it , videos, sent to my channel, too. 👍🥰😍😀✌
