These violates two major facts. Light cannot exist without a sun, and secondly, how can morning be distinguished from evening unless there is a sun and moon?<br /><br />Common Garnel. Must we repeat our usual cycle of me explaining how the Genesis 1 creation account conflicts with the order of events that are known to science. Genesis 1:1 The earth is created before light and stars, birds and whales before reptiles and insects, and flowering plants before any animals. From science, we know that the true order of events was just the opposite.<br /><br />And of course the usual plants are made on the third day (Genesis 1:11) before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes (Genesis 1:14-19).<br /><br />blah blah blah you know the drill.<br /><br />Whether you take those as 6 literal days or figurative days, you still can't resolve the scientific blunders.<br /><br />And you cannot resolve the problem that Genesis 1:1 comes from babylonian myths on Apsu, the sweet water ocean and Tiamat, the salt water ocean. In fact, archaeologists have generally acknowledged that the Hebrew word for the chaos of the waters or “the deep” or the darkness of Genesis 1:1, tehom, is actually derived from the Akkadian Tiamat.<br /><br />In Genesis 1:6-8 God is said to have created the firmament on the second day of creation. In the Babylonian myth, Marduk, son of the Ea the god of wisdom, killed Tiamat and split her into two. The upper half of Tiamat was fixed onto the sky to keep the waters above in place.<br /><br />In the Babylonian myth, after Tiamat was killed, the firmament was created by Marduk to separate the waters above from below. Then he created the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars. Finally man was created. This order is very closely paralleled in Genesis I where the firmament was created on the second day, the sun, moon and stars on the third day and man on the sixth day.<br /><br />Considering most of Torah comes from 6th century BC when the babylonian invasions were happening, these plagarized mythologies are all the more obvious.Shalmonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-66057091674672412342009-10-22T08:35:08.044-04:002009-10-22T08:35:08.044-04:00For what's it worth, that's quite a comple...For what's it worth, that's quite a complement.
