OEC / YEC....
Can someone help me out with the achronyms please?
Others I have also seen but don't understand their meaning:
GWT , JOSC (or something like that..referring to the judgment)
The Bible translation achronyms I understand (e.g. KJV, NIV, etc)....
and the Q and P texts, also.
but OEC/ YEC, GWT, JOSC ?

Where do you get the authority to change the word "Adam" in Genesis 5:2 to "mankind" as you did? If we start changing words to fit your theology, then yes, anything could be possible to form new doctrine. But if we leave the words alone and trust God who promised to preserve them, then we fall under God's authority.
P.s. I believe God when He said people lived 900+ years back before the flood. Its not to hard to believe considering all the other miracles in the Bible that make living long look like child's play.

This is a digital simulation, comprised of indivisible "digits". That coupled with the aspects of Entropy means this "reality" is a sub-set to a much larger analog reality. That analog reality, the spiritual world, is more real, it's not DIGITAL!
Glory to God.
Entropy. For the constants of physics to be slowing down the implication is that we live in a sub-set of a larger "reality". Muti-verse theory. This gets really crazy, but when you're dealing with Plank's length anything smaller than that micro-threshold instantaneously is everywhere in the universe simultaneously. The particle looses locality.

This is absurd. how has this been proven wrong? If it's easy, please explain yourself.

2) We know that at no point there were only 2 humans.
In short, if you take Genesis literally, you can be easily proven wrong.

It comes from the God who directed it all.
This entire experiment, from beginning to end, and he's been communicating with us since day one, but people fail to listen.....
This earth and reality is but a simulation in the mind of God, and to truly know the mind of God we must be present with God (which will not happen in this lifetime), Paradise is much realer than this reality and than most people think.....

It's all good. First thing I tell new Christians is to GET CHRISTIAN FRIENDS. Time to separate yourself from the Old and begin a New life. That's always the biggest hurdle I've come to find with the majority. So easy to get back into your old ways, even if you feel "on fire" for Christ.
Of course, I could be wrong. I should say, of the majority I work with, that is the issue.

All interpretations are faulty, because all interpretations made on the bible are interpretations of interpretations, since Paul/Saul wrote the first book 30 - 80 years after Christ died and all other books were based off of his.
Little extra info - Paul actually said Jesus never lived on Earth in the original version, in fact, he didn't even claim that Jesus was a human.
