![Adam and Eve]()
Adam and Eve (2005)
IMDB rating: 4.50
Plot: Disheveled musician and college student Adam (Cameron Douglas, son of Michael Douglas) goes out of his way to meet the beautiful Eve (Emmanuelle Chriqui) on campus. In no time, the two are in love. Everything goes swimmingly except in the bedroom, where Eve asserts her right to remain a virgin until she’s ready. Adam—though deferential—takes her requirement personally and demands to know what “ready” means. The pair go on like this for months, with Adam remaining true to his passion for Eve, despite howls of protest from his degenerate housemates (among them Jake Hoffman, son of Dustin Hoffman)…

Is the SkepticsAnnotatedBible.com website ignorant of the Bible or simply deceptive in its propaganda?
Example: On Genesis 4:17, it says:
" ‘And Cain knew his wife.’ That’s nice, but where the hell did she come from? The Bible doesn’t mention any of Cain’s sisters."
Obviously, this is a Bible criticism that only the uneducated would fall for (or perhaps those with poor reading comprehension capabilities) because just a few words away at Genesis 5:4, they should have noticed: "The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters."
Indeed, over such a long life lifespan, wouldn’t SkepticsAnnotatedBible expect them to have MANY sons and daughters. In any case, one wonders why — other than simple stubbornness or dishonesty — anyone would pretend that Adam and Eve would be unlikely to have daughters. I’ve always been curious as to why SkepticsAnnotatedBible.com bothers to post so many illogical Bible "criticisms" of this sort. Any theories out there? Is it simply a philosophy of "quantity and not quality" that assumes its audience is comprised only of those who share their anti-Biblical sentiments and aren’t at all interested in honesty inquiry and facts?
It is nothing more than a tool of satan to discredit God… This is what some one has came up with to give Atheist and non believers to use against Christians.. Its main purpose it to try and convince people that the Bible is nothing but a book of contidictions…There is a site that a Christian man has that has every answer to the skeptics Bible…Here is the link

Yes.

The idea of him living 800 years is pretty laughable by itself, but still.
I dunno, maybe its trying to point out they should have mentioned such things in order? I don’t put much stock in it, I read the Bible and decided for myself anyways
Edit: Actually upon visiting the site they do acknowledge Genesis 5:4: ""And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters."
Finally, sometime in the next 800 years, Adam begat some daughters. These nameless ones are the first (and nearly the last) girls to be born in the Bible. "
It seems like the Bible sort of indicates Cain marrying a wife before it mentions any daughters of Adam. Eh, oh well

Both. However, they are useful. I’d never heard of the website until I saw atheists on here linking to it. So I started going through it. It didn’t hurt my faith at all; in fact, it helped it a lot, because I went through and really began studying what the Bible says. So the website strengthened, and continues to strengthen, my faith in ways that I never would have thought possible.

actually you need to stop blasting people who don’t believe in your religion… they actually use bible verses that show counter-activity… so what is your problem… it is you that is illogical to say that they are illogical… i read the whole bible and that’s why i’m not a christian anymore… read your bible through and through and THEN tell everyone what you think
————————————–
think this over… the bible says to love thy fellow man and to not kill… yet "god" commands people to wipe out another society including all the women and children? does anyone hear the word genocide in their heads? just like hitler did… or at least tried to do
————————————–
oh that reminds me.. it isn’t just the bible they pick apart for examples.. the quran and the book of mormon are right up there to if you’d even bother to look…

Honesty should be upheld by deists and atheists alike.

All the SkepticsAnnotatedBible.com does is quote the bible as it is written and highlight the many faults and inconsistencies in the book.
Rather than complain about them you should actually look at the site and then do some serious bible study.
All they do it take the bible as being the literal word of a perfect deity and point out that it is a much less than perfect tome.
The SkepticsAnnotatedBible.com ALSO points out the good stuff in the bible http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/good/l ong.html
So if you criticize them you also need to brush up on your bible studies and see that what they say is actually the truth as it is written in the book of your God.

Adam and Eve had two daughters. Luluwa and Akila. This is not found in the Bible of course but has roots in ancient Biblical lore. It is said that cain killed Able because he wanted to marry Luluwa but she was promised to Able.
Now, idiots who have not studied religion will give me thumbs down but I have been studying this stuff for over 25 years. I use the website as it is easy to search certain phrases and keywords so your point is moot and you are a loser.

while it is true that there are some things in the SAB that are inaccurate, or could be falsified by other sections in the bible, there are also many criticisms that simply could not be explained away.
for example, in Genesis 1:25-27, god makes humans after the other animals, and creates man and woman simultaneously.
however, in Genesis 2:18-22 god creates man, than the other animals, than woman from mans rib.
these two accounts are directly contradictory. you cant make man both before and after the other animals.
there are large numbers of criticisms of the bible from SAB that are either insignificant, not problems, or are righted by other verses, but that doesn’t take any credibility away from the criticisms that point out direct contradiction, or impossibility.

Why would you assume that a book which claims that a man can live for 800 yrs is true? If you’ve ever taken a course in basic logic, then you would understand that your position is based on an illogical PRESUPPOSITION. Would you accept such a claim from any other book? Should I accept ANY book’s claim that a human being can live for 800 yrs, or are you ignorant of basic biology and/or simply deluding yourself?
I agree with you on 1 point - I’m not sure why the authors of that website would waste time with such a trivial argument, when it is so much easier to disprove the existence of the Christian version of "god" using basic logic based on the concepts of freewill, power, and responsibility. The Bible’s version of the Christian version of "god" is one of the most easily disprovable versions of a "god" ever invented. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
