the bible says God made man from the dust of the earth and he made animals out of the ground. Not form man nor man from animals but both of them from dirt of the earth. So if you wont a common ancestors we both came from dirt but not from each other. As you point out, being made from dust is not un...

Yes and no Yes Adam did live 6 days (yom) after the beginning of time No Adam did not live 6 '24 hour days' after the beginning of time How do we kno...

The question everyone needs to answer before talking anything marriage is: "What is marriage?" No, not your superficial dictionary response, but deeper roots of what the word itself means and is intended to represent. What is it that happens in "marriage"? Why is it supposedly i...
