Garden of Eden lays in the Persian Gulf? Not a religious thread.

There you go everyone the true expert has arrived! Arrivederci! Is that how you spell it?

I wouldn't call him an expert, smart guy sure, but he's saying those things with the idea that it actually happened in the first place, and choosing not to accept the overwhelming evidence agaisnt it. But I've already had this debate with him before xD It got us nowhere in the end. I'm just glad he's a cool guy and didn't go all jesus-freak on me!

I appreciate the complement, but that's not a very nice thing to say.

In my description I was careful to mention that it was a theological perspective to the article. I gave the most neutral opinion I could possibly give. I'd appreciate you not label my post as religiously biased.

In other words, (I really wish you understand what I mean) if what the bible says is true, you have to take everything into account if your going for the biblical Adam and Eve (which is what the article was doing). If you want the Quranic Adam and Eve there would be an entirely different theology to it. I went with the events as stated in the bible and worked my way from there. Given that the garden of Eden is a biblical location, I found it suitable to take that route. Let me know if you have any better way to look at it.

Oh no no no, I didn't mean that you are a "jesus-freak" and I was glad you didn't act like that towards me. I meant I'm glad you AREN'T a "jesus-freak" and you didn't give those "your going to hell comments". Instead you had arguments that you came to logically (in our message debate), and not the ones I'd attribute to "jesus-freaks" like pascals wager and science is a conspiracy etc.  
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

About this thread, I'm not too sure what you mean. Did you assume the bible was literally true for the sake of the article? Or is it what you personally believe? Or something else?
