Were they bashing their neighbors heads in because they were predatory, or because they were hungry? Matter of survival there, and it still is.
Then you believe the basis of all our laws wasn't given by God? Then who gave them to us, I'm just curious?
The Romans.http://histclo.com/law/law-rome.html So let me guess, you don't have an original thought in your head. All your thoughts have to come from Somebody else or some God implanting them in you because your incapable of having one.
you said that out loud, you know. just saying, in case you want to retract it as a slip of the tongue, or a sudden brain snap. if by some hocus pocus you did intend for it to be read by thinking adults, I would politely suggest you have yourself assessed for arrested development syndrome.
I pretty much figured out it was a gap filling thing. However, strict bible religions don't teach that. It is still A&E as the 1st ever humans. 6000 yrs ago, give or take. So which religions are now teaching gap filling, mine is not. One would think A&E would've known if they were not the only human to inhabit the earth. Also, you didn't answer how the other human species died out or how we know they did and if they are still among us.
Maybe if your response wasn't just to say it is a blatant lie, but show proof that the post was wrong, you'd have a leg to stand on.
Go on. I for one in my youth thought history of any kind was crap. Now that I'm older, I wished I'd taken more history. These are good stories. This is a thread for bible experts, and while you're not on the bible, per se, they should be able to refute the stories. NOT!!
And you don't?? His special knowledge just is from a different source than your apparent special knowledge. When you start proving your points then we can say you have special knowledge.
Hungry? God provided for them. Oh wait, God told them to kill, steal, rape, for the land. Maybe they were hungry. Have you ever read the OT????? - - - Updated - - - Man, history, civilizations, time!!!!!
Likely, the other homo sapiens died out as a result of being out-competed by Adam and Eve's descendents, perhaps due to possessing the survival advantage of having souls. The Bible tells us that all people on the earth are descended from Adam and Eve. I believe modern science says something essentially identical, i.e., that all living human beings can be traced, via mitochondrial DNA, to a single female who lived some 200,000 years ago.
Then who was Cain talking about when he said they would kill him, God when he said he would mark Cain so that didn't happen, and who was Cain's wife?
The ancient hebrews went through the Levant attacking and killing every other kingdom and civilization until they controlled most of it. They killed men, women, children, the elderly and sometimes all the animals. And is says right there in the bible they did it because "God told them to". Jerusalem had already been a Canaanite city for hundreds of years before they conquered it. - - - Updated - - - They weren't hungry, the hebrews had become wealthy enough to mount an army and attack and defeat other kingdoms in the area.
What laws are you talking about and by god, do you mean the christian god? Dozens of civilizations predated the hebrews and Israel/Judea in that area, Sumeria, Akkadia, Babylonia, Egypt, Persia, etc. and they all had laws. When you talk about Christian/Judeo laws do you mean the 10 commands (of which only three could remotely be considered "laws") or the other 650 or so in the bible that christians don't follow?
The original Semites (Mesopotamia) were not "Arab Looking". The sumerians spread out all over the known world and interbred like rabbits. If you have any caucasion heritage you have semite blood running through your veins.
What are you painfully trying to hear? Sorry I can't match anything in your set of undeniable truths chanted by the self-appointed intellectual authorities.
"Weird" doesn't mean imaginary. It is an echo of a pre-historic horror. Those howls in the night were made by real predators. The Wolf is at the door, its oil-stained fangs dripping with blood. Multiculties want to invite it inside and make a pet out of it. To them, not doing so would be just plain weird.
For Jerusalem fans, it was a community going back as far as 3000bc. Around 2000bc it was named Jerusalem after the Canaanite god "Salem" or Shalem". "Jeru" is from the Sumerian "Yeru" meaning settlement or cornerstone. Basically, Jerusalem means "City of Salem", a god of the Canaanite pantheon.
Here is an image of the history of JeruSalem since 2000bc. I think you can click it to make it bigger. As you can see, Hebrew and Israeli control of this city and the surrounding area is very minute in comparison to it's overall history.
Authoritarian academic orthodoxy. You panic whenever an independent thinker treats the required paradigm as just another opinion. "My way or the highway" means that your way is the low way. As in getting down genuflecting to intellectual snobs. Fortunately, many here have been exposed to the academented inmates and also have no respect for degreed degenerates.
Well, I'll go with the academics, scientists, archaeologists and historians over the home schooled. Call me funny.
All land is up for grabs. God is not a real estate agent; the Hebrews just threw that in to add another layer of justification. Use it or lose it is Nature's rule. There are no seniority rights, especially since seniority usually makes a tribe senile. Anti-imperialism is for sore losers.
Metaphorically, you might be on to something here. I've noticed that the evolutionary failures have no consideration for others, not even of their own kind. They'll leave glass bottles in parking lots, won't flush the toilet, stand blocking the way and then resent it when being asked to move.
