Is that really one of Socrates' thoughts???
I had that same idea when I was much younger.
Leviticus 14:33-47 we would take our own dwellings down brick by brick if we saw so much as a spot of mould on a wall, yeah?

Well not only that but note that the earth is fully populated by "man in our image" BEFORE any mention is made of Adam and Eve in the garden. But don't expect any meaningful answer from anyone who thinks the bible is without flaw. They'll have plenty of foolish explanations and excuses. And yes. The "our" part sort of flies in the face of "one God" but they'll have an excuse for that too probably having to do with translation. Good thing for excuses is all I can say.
Note please.... My criticism of Christians is only directed towards those who so stubbornly refuse to even consider the idea that their scriptures contain a few flaws. Most Christians don't sweat the details and good for them. They, at least, can think.edit on 21-3-2011 by trailertrash because: (no reason given)

Wouldn't an all knowing God realize that in a world as chaotic as ours...it is nearly impossible to know the truth from fiction...

The root of all truth is merely pride and humility. All choices grow from this root. Genesis 3 tells us this in metaphor. Our choice of seeking knowledge on our own was the choice to walk in pride. This choice resulted in toil and working the land for our pride. If we had just walked with God, He would have educated us properly. Despite our choice to seek knowledge on our own, God still teaches us. All major discoveries in science have come from Jewish scientists. Israel is the Light to all nations, just as the Bible states. God teaches us what we know despite our pride. Truth is just this.

I'm taking it as a metaphor.
No matter if it is your home, or your mind, you can't have anything in it that you don't see fit.
