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 compliment, but that's not a very nice thing to say. I was at a party last weekend, and towards the end of the party a young man started stroking my elbow. Despite being homosexually curious I am not gay. I didn't make him feel bad about it for 1 second I just politely but directly asked him to stop. There is no reason for making people feel bad because they want to share something that gives them joy. If you don't like it just tell them to stop.

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.

I just read that, I though you were making some sort of joke at first xD But I get your point, I really didn't mean that in any insulting way, I meant I'm glad you AREN'T a jesus freak. I explained in the other reply :)
