God in a box. Time in a bottel

Ok making another foray into the theory I have been playing with.
How many out there have made an effort to read the early chapters of the bible? If you have you will notice some wide gaps in logic there that seem to contradict the message of creation. I think it really dosent but the interpertation is missing.

This has given rise to the fundamentalist of our world to claim we have no history on this earth prior to 6,000 years ago. They climb into this safe shell and shut the doors of their mind.

Science tells us that this planet has a 4.5 billion year past. So these fundamentlist claims are disproven. But I say the claims in the bible may be much older than 6,000 years. What has led me to belive this is a simple passage in the bible that seems to be glossed over and ignored. It states simply this. A thousand years passes in the blink of an eye to god. Ok you try to grind out that passage in the bible.By saying that must have ment after creation. I say no.

Lets propose that this statement were taken at face value. How many times in a day would god have blinked? How many millions of years would have passed in that 7 day period?One thing that has been proven through research is this. Mankind at one time had a much longer lifespan than we do today. You can take stories out of the bible like the ones about Methusula, Moses, Enock and king David and see this. Methusula was proported to have lived over a 950 year span. Enock who was his father may have lived as long as 2,000 years according to some text.Moses and king David also of this line each lived well past 500 years.

So then we must ask this question. If as in the bible says that god created Adam (hebrew fist man) and Eve(hebrew for woman). How long would they have lived with perfect DNA? I propose it may have been as long as millions of years. Therefore the story of the Garden of Eden may have been adopted from a long linage of text. During this long passage of time they may have developed ways to manage the garden of Eden. But god had warned them to stay away from the forbidden fruit.

Lets ask this question now. What was the forbidden fruit? I doubt very much that it was an actual fruit. I think it might have been a hidden knowledge. God had created his 2 children(begginings of man) And in his wisdom he gave them free will. This free will gave them the power to explore and develope their minds. He did this because being created in his image he did not want a flock of sheep. But a race that could appreciaet the stunning beauty of his creation. But along with this free will He knew would come responsibility. He set out from the very start to have some guidelines for his children to follow. One of these was respect for their lands. Adam and Eve eventually broke this covanent with their creator though. By looking into technologies and knowledges he had forbidden them. For good reason I might add. Look at some of the technologes we have developed over the years of just our recent history. I have a feeling they might just have been playing with genetics. This knowledge of the very creation of life god knew just might destroy it as well.

This time god had to punish his children. He cast Adam and Eve from the garden of eden. With the threats of destruction if they returned.He had to do this because they would have destroyed themselves had he not. Thus begins the imperfect history of mankind. God did not want this for us but we brought it upon ourselves.

Lets not just say this is a bible story as well. The very story of our creation is told in all religous works. From the Koran to the Hopie verbal legands. Its seen in aztec lore to ancheint Chineese text. The Indian people to the sumarians. This story has been preserved for many millions of years and passed from ancestor to ancestor.

So this is in the end what I ask of everyone who might read this. I dont want you to put god in a box by saying just because either the scientist say he cant exist(I dont think the primal ultament intelligence has a gender. So god or goddes is wide open)Or the fundamentlist try to cram him in a box of our own creation.Or with our limited understanding of time(we see now the immutable laws of its passsage can be bent or broken )That we not bottel time up as well.
