Collins get s alot of ideas from C.S. Lewis. I find this idea interesting. God is the Judge of who is saved, not us.

Christianity is the truth, but its not knowing the truth the saves us, it is God that saves us, its God's choice. I'm kind of guessing Collins is a Calvinist.

You know, the bible just says that Adam and Eve were the fist humans. God breathed breath into Adam and gave him his image. God could have also breathed life into ten thousand others, the bible just doesn't mention this.

Who did Seth Marry if Adam and Eve were the only two people?
