I read that if you read the book of genesis really carefully then you will find evidence that there was a second earth before this one. While i do not believe this, it will come in handy with a paper im writing so whoever is most convincing in using the book of genesis as a base of their case that their used to be another earth gets best answer, and feel free to branch outside of the bible in presenting evidence.

My 'evidence' against such a theory is logical and scientific. No conspiracy thinking required, just common sense.

Scientifically, the bible is evidence of nothing except the culture that existed and what those people believed at the time of its writing. Much of it has been proven wrong and essentially no knowledge of any value has come from it.

If the bible never existed at all, it would make no difference, except for the number of people murdered, tormented and repressed in the name of God, both then and now. We would still have science, mathematics and logic, something it contributed nothing to in history, in spite of its supporters determination to crush anyone, anything or any discoveries that could provoke doubt, or even worse, prove a case against it.

People take that ancient, primitive stuff far too seriously, since it was undeniably proven wrong in too many places to delineate here.

There are two stories of Genesis in the bible and as usual, they contradict each other and scientific knowledge and common sense. There are two stories of Noah and the flood, which again as usual, contradict each other and science and common sense.

I wouldn't use any 'science' of the bible or any other 'holy' books. It speaks of angels breeding with men creating a race of giants, unicorns and other mythical creatures. Why believe only some of it as per convenience and ignore the rest? If one statement is proven wrong, as many have been, then that justly casts a dark shadow of doubt on the rest of it too and that shadow gets darker by the day.

One may rightly wonder how can any reasoning mind conclude that those ancient, primitive, superstitious people had vast and magnificent cosmic knowledge that eludes even the scientists of today? When this is assumed, it is generally because somebody extremely misinterpreted something, either due to ignorance or on purpose to profit from books on the subject from a gullible public. That's the sort of rationale that gives rise to aliens building the pyramids of Egypt, UFOs and other nonsense when someone sees something in an ancient picture or in writings that they don't understand in its proper context.

One major point of contention is that the bible or any other 'holy' book is written in terms of cryptic mumbo-jumbo. The consequence being that you can see just about anything you want to see if you read it 'carefully' enough. Fanatics excel at this. It's like the I Ching or Tarot cards and many other similar things. It can mean whatever you want to believe each time you look at it no matter how far fetched. It is unreliable as a foundation for any intelligent reasoning or decisions.

for sure Bush isn't an effective decision to contain in any conspiracy. all of us recognize there turned right into a conspiracy to damage the WTC. the actual undeniable reality that they are lacking from the ny skyline is evidence someone became conspiring. So who??? Marvin Bush is suspicious. even if it truly is a coincidence. That his settlement with Tribecka to provide protection for the WTC ended the day earlier 911. we've Bin weighted down admitting it we've Ayman al-Zawahiri, a professing Muslim Brotherhood chief. And we've Saudi funds. it truly is a conspiracy. The suspicion comes from the insider trading. an excellent dump of stocks some days earlier the attack. someone instructed a Saudi Prince and they be conscious were given out to unload airline & coverage inventory. My guess is oliguarcs close to to the Saudi Royal relations knew an attack became emminent. The Muslims knew it became Sept 11 because it became the nighttime Jupiter and the crescent moon were visable.(Islam likes that blend) became George Bush privy? I sereously doubt it he's too stupid to trust with a secret. flow crew red flow

Good point. There does indeed appear to be two seperate creation stories. The first one didn't work right, for some reason, and was destroyed and God tried again. It is also obvious that other people already existed when Adam and Eve were created. This is evidenced by the fact that when after Cain killed Abel and was kicked out, he was worried that other people would find him and kill him. What other people? At that time, the only people who should have existed were Cain, and his parents, Adam and Eve. Maybe they were God's special little people, better than the ones who were already there.

In the beginning the universe was a singularity. Then God said, "Let there be a Big Bang," and there was a Big Bang.

BTW. Just because there are two 'creation' stories (6 days, then rest; and Adam & Eve) doesn't mean that there was a second earth.

You can't find something if it is not there no matter how much you look, and if the bible says something it doesn't mean it is true, so no evidence

You have a crazy theory and wants us to prove.

Any one can write anything. Only things written with a proof that could be recreated is believable. Everything elase is called Bible
