The millions of believers have faith, and that's all we need. Science has proven nothing of if a God exists or not, and the universe has a creator, unlike what some of them think. I was never taught God was in the sky but everywhere. That he's in another dimension is obvious to me and others. As always, different people think of different things. God obviously made more people after Adam and Eve but they were the first modern humans.There is also this.........Sibling or Close Relative (Literalist View): The most straightforward explanation is that Cain married one of his sisters or nieces. Because the world's first family had no other people to intermarry with, these unions were necessary for humanity to grow. Biologically, incest at this time would not have carried the genetic risks seen today because Adam and Eve were created with perfect DNA, making mutations non-existent in the initial generations. Pre-Adamic or Separate Populations (Alternative View): Some interpretations suggest that other distinct populations of humans (sometimes referred to as pre-Adamic humans) lived outside the Garden of Eden. In this view, when Cain was exiled to the land of Nod, he encountered and married a woman from one of these other groups. I always believed it was behind door number 2. No, the Bible does not explicitly state the age of the Earth. The widely cited estimate of roughly 6,000 to 10,000 years comes from calculating and adding up the generational lineages, ages, and timelines recorded in biblical texts, most famously calculated by Archbishop James Ussher in the 17th century. Because this number is the result of external human calculation rather than a direct statement, there are varying interpretations among Christians regarding the age of the Earth: Young Earth Interpretation: By calculating genealogies (like those in Genesis 5 and 11) and interpreting the "days" of creation literally, many scholars estimate the Earth to be approximately 6,000 years old. Proponents of this view believe God created dinosaurs alongside humans on Day Six, meaning they did not live millions of years ago Old Earth Interpretation: Many Christians and theologians accept the scientific consensus that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In this view, dinosaurs roamed the Earth millions of years before humans existed, and the creation days in Genesis are interpreted as representing long, figurative periods of time rather than 24-hour days. I see that it's actually you that has a closed mind, as mine isn't that way and never has been. That I choose common sense and faith and you go by a few other's opinions shows it well, so again, stick to the topic, seeing you aren't reading but skimming.Wed, 24 Jun 2026 22:14:33 +0000https://aseannow.com/thailand-news/police-arrest-two-indians-over-200kg-ice-haul-in-bangkok-r2474/Thai police in Region 1 announced on 24 June 2026, the arrest of two Indian nationals following a raid on a safehouse in Thawi Watthana, Bangkok, where 200 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, known locally as ice, were seized. The operation also led to the confiscation of three vehicles allegedly used in the trafficking network. Get today's headlines by email The suspects, identified as Ramesh, 45, and Ajeshkumar, 41, were detained at a residence in Soi Borommaratchachonnani 68, Sala Thammasop subdistrict, after officers observed suspicious activity linked to drug unloading from a Mitsubishi Mirage. According to police, the investigation began on 22 June 2026 when officers in Pathum Thani expanded inquiries from a previously arrested low-level drug network. Surveillance and CCTV tracking identified a grey Mitsubishi Mirage as a key vehicle used to transport narcotics. Officers followed the vehicle across provincial boundaries to the Bangkok safehouse, where the suspects were seen transferring multiple white sacks into the property. A search uncovered 200 sealed packages of methamphetamine, each weighing approximately one kilogram, totalling 200 kilograms. Authorities also seized two additional Toyota vehicles, one black registered in Bangkok and one white registered in Chonburi, alongside another Mitsubishi Mirage registered in Chonburi. Police Lieutenant General Watana Yijian, Commissioner of Provincial Police Region 1, said the group appeared to be part of a transnational trafficking network. Investigators found evidence that the seized vehicles had already been processed for transit permits intended for travel to neighbouring countries, with the drugs believed to be destined for onward distribution to a third country. Pictures courtesy of Naewna Officials described the suspects as logistical operators within a wider international syndicate. The case has been referred to the Office of the Narcotics Control Board for forensic and financial investigations aimed at tracing money flows and identifying additional members of the network. Naewna reported that both suspects remain in custody and face prosecution under Thai narcotics laws. Police said further investigations will focus on passport records, cross-border movements and communication data to identify higher-level organisers. Authorities also urged the public to report suspicious activity involving foreign nationals or unusual property rentals, as efforts continue to dismantle the wider trafficking chain.
