A thought provoked by the anti-science thread. Let's pretend that the bible did not include the whole Adam and Eve story.Everything else could remain the same, the great flood, Earth's creation in 7 days, Jesus , etc.... Would we still have the stand off and hate today between many believers and non believers. It seems the argument always boils down to evolution conflicting with the orgin of the human race. I feel that if that one element was left out, everyone would be on a lot better terms (in regards to hiostilaty about beliefs). The idea of heaven could still work, heck, even humans being created in god's image could work.
Thoughts?
