As we see in every thread where the Bible thumpers insist upon a 6,000 year old planet and other literal interpretations of their bibles, there are
always irreconcilable contradictions to physical laws, hard facts and peer reviewed science.
It’s just an inconvenient truth that the Genesis fable is a flawed, contradictory tale that is actually devastating to the notion of supernatural creation.
Genesis is not flawed. It is not an account of the origin of the earth, that little blue orb in our solar system. It's an account of the origin of the earth, Palastine and the Levant, the seat of which, to the people of God, would be Jerusalem.
It's a temple story, something that the ancients were actually able to grasp.
The Genesis fable is a contradictory mess, written by unknown authors who turned the Christian gods into liars.
It was the superstitious invention of gods said that fruit theft and eating the apple would cause A&E to die.
It was the superstitious invention of satan who said eating the apple
would not cause A&E to die.
Who told the truth?
You're like fundamentalist Christians who read the story literally.
What was the fruit of the tree of life? (Hint: the Bible doesn't say
apple.) What did it look like? What did it taste like? Has one ever been found and classified? And how does a tree grow in more than one place, such as on two different sides of a river (
Rv 22:2)?
In the midst of the Garden was not a woody plant but rather the good things of God. And also idolatry, a knowledge of everything.
You're just like a fundamentalist who reads out of context. What is the earth? The globe? Did any kingdom ever rule over the whole earth, as we read in Daniel (2:39)? Genesis is not about the creation of the planet. The planet was never a disc covered by a dome bedazzled with stars, the sun, and the moon.
You and the fundies project your 21st-century worldviews onto the ancient manuscripts. It creates confusion.
