Zone1 In The Bible's Genesis An Account Of Nature. Right?

[Procrustes Stretched]

The first eleven chapters of the Torah are allegorical accounts of the history that everyone shares. They were passed down orally for thousands of years from generation to generation before being recorded in writing.

The account of creation is in stark contrast to the prevalent polytheistic origin narratives. God created existence and everything arose over time in a logical sequential fashion. It's actually quite remarkable. They believed 6,000 years before science that the universe was created.

Beliefs fall: "the universe was created."

We all know oral history is so reliable, just as eye witness testimony is. LOL


btw, How many people have heard from relatives that they have Native-American blood? I guess they all do.

Thousands of years? Genesis was written after the Babylonian exile.

"Science does not describe the creation of the universe. "

It's coming. Earlier science showed how the planes, Earth, the Moon and the Sun reacted. Before this people ascribed all kinds of nonsense to the gods or your GOD.

“It’s coming” LOL.

Two more weeks?

The Book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible and is part of the Torah, or Pentateuch, which is the first five books of the Bible.

The book is thought to have been composed around the 5th century BC, but some scholars believe that chapters 1–11, which cover primeval history, may have been added as late as the 3rd century BC.

The authors of Genesis borrowed themes from Mesopotamian mythology and ancient near eastern cosmology, but adapted them to their unique belief in one God. The creation myth in Genesis 1 may have been created by a Hebrew scribe living in Babylon during the Babylonian Exile in the 4th century BCE.

Genesis is divided into two parts:

Primeval history
Chapters 1–11 include stories such as the creation, the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, Noah and the Flood, and the Tower of Babel.

Patriarchal history
Chapters 12–50 include stories such as Abraham, Isaac and his twin sons Jacob and Esau, and Jacob's family, including Joseph.

Most mainstream Bible scholars consider Genesis to be primarily mythological rather than historical.

Most “mainstream Bible scholars” are atheists and quacks.
