Of the old testament? Certainly. In the OT, the killing never stops. You kill your wife for disobeying you. You kill your kids for talking back to you. You kill your neighbors for worshipping other gods. The list goes on and on. In reality, the Jews were a militaristic people (when they weren't busy getting conquered).

They probably weren't thinking of the origins of life in terms of evolution, like I said, they took their best guess and got it wrong. It doesn't cause a conflict between Christianity and evolution, because Christianity doesn't require a disbelief in evolution or ascription to the book of Genesis.

This is where I stopped reading. Tivodan, you can't arbitrarily pick and choose which parts of the bible you choose to believe. You can't decide that Jesus existed and is here to redeem man for his sinful ways which began in Eden only to 180 and dismiss the very book that mentions where sin comes from. It's intellectually dishonest.
