I'm not exactly sure how we do these things, but I guess I make up five different arguments to try and invalidate Christianity. Alright, I guess I just state my thesis here.

-Genesis is literal.

-Jehovah is evil.

-Jehovah is a liar.

-Jehovah has no foot print.

-Jesus is a false prophet.

alright now jesus was no false prohet he spread his philosophy for all to love and not to hate but this was taken down in history and things changed there is no doubt he exsited because the bible was a man made thing taken more on the things he did as a man rather than a god, but he still made millions of people put their faith into something worth doing.

familys goin to church every sunday and being together as a family and it has also brought happiness to many but that does not mean he didnt exist.

He did but as a man rather than a god. his death was for us but it was still a sign of love with or without the contraversy it has faced over the years.

Here we have the line of Adam listed, obviously intended as a literal genealogy of mankind. It leaves little doubt that the story of the Garden of Eden was intended as both literal and absolute. The book's intent was not a metaphorical description of the beginning of the universe, but a literal scientific account. If it was merely a parable, it would not have listed a genealogy leading to many of the important characters in the Bible. Genesis is literal, and in contradiction with modern facts of how the earth was formed, how old it is, the dawn of life, the evolution of life to modern man and various other scientific facts. Therefore the Bible cannot be true.
