It was discussing why Gen 1 is diffrent than Gen 2. Blatently and matter of factly, one theist had no problem with it. "Chapter one is just a summarization of chapter two - Chapter one says God created man, and ch two says how." Talk about putting on the blinders and seeing what you want to see. I'd hate to have this guy write a Chiltons manual. I was just watching a show on TV about the bible. It was discussing why Gen 1 is diffrent than Gen 2.

I've had this same thought this before, but I didn't follow through with it, it just seemed too obvious. The way you've presented it here, though, makes it perfectly apparent that they [christians] don't see this dichotomy as obviously as some others do. Great observations here.

I was just having this same conversation with a family member the other day. I didn't use 30 books in my example but my explanation of how Christians pick and choose what they want to believe and live their lives by was essentially the same demostration. Glad to know I'm not alone in seeing this very clear analogy. :) Funny. I was just having this same conversation with a family member the other day.
