God and the universe...
kraid:
Religions got a huge problem with saying: sorry we were wrong. Sience is willing to give up a theory if it proofs wrong.
Examples:
Earth is not a disk surrounded by water and carried by a giant (atlas) riding a turtle.
Earth is not the center of our solar system.
If there would have been only adam & eve, humanity wouldn't have last longer then 3 or 4 generations till the effects caused by incest ...well i think you got the point.
Beside that everyone would be brother & sister. Wasn't incest also forbidden by the bible?
The problem is, the bible was written by ppl who didn't know anything about our solar system/universe or genetic.
Now that we found out the true about this, it's a difficult situation for them, coz it's not a far trip from seeing that so many things they tell us are wrong, till questioning the whole belive.
The reactions on this are very different, some ppl even deny these things completly while others use the slightest missmatch to argue against it.
Another tactic is to relocate the belives into areas sience wasn't able to fully explain yet.

I hope you aren't claiming that either of these things are ever said in the Judeo-Christian Scripture, because nothing of this sort is ever said.

Incest was necessary in the beginning for obvious reasons. A short time later it was condemned by God. And this would be evident from the consequences this act NOW carries. As for everyone now being brother and sister... spiritually, yes. Genetically, no.

Nothing in Scripture directly contradicts scientific facts.
If you think otherwise, give some examples. Quote it from the Holy Bible directly. And don't just SKIM through it to find something you THINK is contradictory. You'll only end up taking it out of context, therefore misinterpreting it, and therefore misunderstanding it.

Here is something that some may find interesting.
It's an interview with a young child prodigy (born into an atheist family) who claims her inspirations are from God.
The poetry she rights to accompany her artwork is equally stunning. You can see and read her work on her site.

The Word cannot change because it is perfect and comes from God. (Unless you are King James.)
