Please pick one of the following interpretations ("A" or "B") as most important. If you want to contribute to the discussion (& aim for the 10 points), also say why.

A. The Genesis story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is literally true. The story tells how the earth was formed, how life began, and how evil entered into creation. The narrative is only helpful to human beings if we interpret the biblical creation story as the history of interactions between God and humans in the past.

B. The Genesis story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is a metaphor. It teaches that each of us has been given a paradise that we spoiled when we gave into temptation. The narrative is only helpful if we can identify with Adam and Eve in our present lives, and their historic existence is ultimately immaterial.

Did you know Cain is not mentioned as a child of Adam?

In Genesis 5 we have the generations of Adam all the way to Noah and his sons. Cain is not mentioned as a child of Adam. Abel is not mention either because he did not have any children.

Did we really go to the moon?

I used to hear peope say it was staged and faked, and I always thought "wtf, we went to the moon, its not that rediculous" but then, recently I heard the question arose once again, but behind it was a great following and they wanted to review the raw footage of it. Then, merely a week later, NASA says they seem to have misplaced or lost the original footage. Now, isn't it odd that they misplaced a direct record of the most important advance in exploration to mankind? And only a few days before professionals were going to analyze it? And why has NASA suddenly commissioned Lockheed Martin to build a craft that will put man on the moon? What does this mean? Was it really a fake? Have I been duped?

Read this article and then answer my question...?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,213137,00.html

Since this is what this world and society has come to, don't you think maybe we actually may need a little guidance? Even if you're not of a particular religion, do you have enough spirituality within yoursef to pray over situations like this?
Do you think lack of prayer and lack of belief in a higher being has something to do with the tragedies in society today?
I'll tell you honestly yahoo friends, this is the kind of thing that makes me sick at my stomach. My heart aches for this world and the people in it. This is only one story. This is only one story that has been brought into the public. This kind of thing goes on all day every day, and much worse. We have people killing people for $172.13 in a cash drawer of a convenience store, and someone has to bury thier loved one. All to pay for an addiction, to fill a void. What is that "void"?
I'm open to suggestion here from every age, gender, and religion.
Everyone.

Does anyone have any information on programs (on the order of Peace Corps) that allows volunteers to take kids

I am interested in helping others and I believe that I would enjoy entering a program on the lines of the Peace Corps. I have a three-year-old daughter that is with me all the time, so it would be imperative that she be able to go with me. I think it would be a wonderful experience for both of us. I would be curious to know if there is program on this order that allows US citizens to help others in our country that are in need.
