If GOD hadn't created man yet, then how did all those Chinese people exist before MAN and WOMAN were even created?? Are all those Chinese aliens and non-human? Or is the Bible just wrong? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Things to ponder.

Are there really actual dates for "creation" in the bible? I've heard that based only on the bible, some biblical scholars have tried to infer dates. This doesn't make their inferences correct. Interpretation by people is not truth, it is interpretation. The truth is the truth.



Which comes to one of those questions about how to interpret the bible. Is it literal truth? Or is it recountings of events by people which are subject to interpretation? The accounts are not always consistent. The different books are different retellings of the same events. So what is truth?



The bible has wonderful teachings on how to live with each other, how to treat each other, how to strive for a greater good. So, for the sake of argument, what if the bible is not 100% true just as many of the non-biblical stories and myths we teach our children are not "true" yet they contain important lessons and meanings about what it means to be a human being? What it means to be "good" to yourself, your family, your fellow person. Does not being 100% correct in a literal sense diminish the value of the stories?



Personally, I think not.

Really...do you have to ponder that hard? Chinese people aren't aliens! There are mounds and mounds of archaelogical and historical evidence that points to the existence of humans and civilizations way before the bible has anything created.

Jesus himself was an alien.

He came to the earth to teach the stupid humans how to live.
