Maybe. Thing is, we know that they could do lists, and lists are usually very good for putting your thoughts/events in order. If the requirement was "Get me two of everything. Actually, scrap that, 7 clean everything and 2 unclean everything" then when it comes to writing it down you go straight to the actual requirement of "7 & 2" surely?

Anyway, we mustn't spend too long on picking holes in this bit, there is much much more to come!!

Possibly. Though if it were a crime such as that, you'd expect it to be mentioned. All the Bible tells us is that Cain offered the things he produced.

As to the Noah stuff, why clarify and do so so ham-handedly? Why not just say "7 clean, 2 unclean"? If it is the case that what was written is not exactly what was said then it should have been edited far more efficiently.

"Reasonable Response" is going to come up a lot in the rest of the OT, so I'll leave off until we get a few more people's stories. :)

How would Cain know which are the "first fruit"? And the whole thing was to present their labours and offer them to God. Nowhere does it say that Cain did livestock, so it is reasonable to assume that all those grains and fruits (or whatever he provided) was a fair sample of his labours.

And another thing, since God appeared to more directly involved with His creations then, why did He let all that happen? Why not tell Cain to do something other than arable farming? Is it that God likes blood more than muesli? :)

Yes I have and it was brilliant. I also had to stop myself from nicking his routine because it was both hilarious and to the point. Watch the video here and laugh. He's a very funny atheist comedian. To paraphrase him: atheists have years and years of science and peer reviewed experiments to explain the world. The religious have ... a book.

Exactly right. I think that there are the correct number of tags on the post.

"They" do, do "they"? Atheism is a lack of belief, not a belief in a lack. We can read about, and comment on, the nature of God and the actions he is supposed to have taken and we can do that without believing in the deity. Equally, I can talk about other fictional characters such as Aslan, the Emperor Palpatine and Indiana Jones and I can do so without believing they exist.

No worries mate. I will simply be reading it (again) and pointing out inconsistencies.

Argh. The treatment is slow because your body has to do all of the work on it's own. Your homeopath is basically waiting for either your body to heal you or for you to die.

This will be the treatment that has either not been proven to work or proven not to work?
