It's simply due to Hebrews starting a desperate effort some 2900 years ago, to make up and started writing a book, comprising mostly of other civilization's accounts and tales - that would prove to the "illiterate" that they are the chosen people by God, that God himself therefore is a Hebrew - and that God promised them land.
It's all and only about LAND for Hebrews. Later becoming a religious doctrine. and the basis for Judaism.
Interesting that those Hebrew, who lived in a desert, correctly predicted the development of life on earth.
Palmer, wrote a book about the astounding accuracy of the Bible, 3 thousand years ago, stating
the order of the evolution of life on or planet….exactly the presentation that science now accepts as the fact.
Dr. Andrew Palmer, Oxford biologist, whose book,
"The Genesis Enigma," states that the writer of the book of Genesis provides an
uncannily similar synopsis of the events in the creation as compared to that accepted by modern science today.
Rather than ridicule the Bible, those very same secular, atheistic scientists have come around to accept the very order that the Old Testament claimed was the course of creation:
The idea of the miraculous confluence of the first chapter of Genesis and the sequence advanced by modern science is as follows:
a. The Old Testament was written, although not compiled, almost three millennia ago. It is extraordinary that the writer of the creation account in Genesis, chapter one, got it right in his exposition of the series of events:
his sequence turns out to be scientifically accurate in terms of contemporary knowledge.
b. From a water covered planet, to terrestrial life. The images in that writer’s mind of how our planet and life came to be must have seemed curious for the knowledge and experience of the time! Yet….he presented it
as though it had been dictated to him, as though he had been spoken to by God.
c. If it is not evidence for the God, then the author of Genesis 1, or Moses, perhaps, must have understood that the universe formed first, …then the seas appeared on earth, …and that life forms were photosynthetic.
d. Following that, he had to have realized that an eye evolved in an early animal in the geological past, which triggered the evolution of all the major groups of animals that exist today.
e. Still further, he must have felt that all of this occurred in the seas, before animals moved onto land, and only when they did move out of the water did mammals and birds evolve.
The above largely from chapter nine of zoologist Andrew Parker’s “The Genesis Enigma.”
Wow! What an incredibly lucky guess! What a considerable stroke of good fortune!
Or…an alternative explanation: divine intervention.
In your face, booooyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
