*You would think that such an important document would have some consistency about creation if it were the word or god, or divinely inspired. *
You would also think it might say something truthful that no one else in the world ever new, and that modern science only recently discovered: such as that the world was after all created and did not exist eternally (Einstein thought the universe was eternal until the Big Bang was discovered); that light was the first thing that emerged in the order of creation (see the atheist Carl Sagan’s account of the Big Bang producing a light-filled universe); that a series of days (periods of time) passed during which various life form were created (evolved) culminating in Man, and that life began in the ocean and moved from there to mammals and birds. Pretty lucky guesses, you perhaps think?
By the way: ’
What’s with lower casing the first letter of God’s name? Would you do that also for Zeus, or Athena, or Allah, or Mithras? You are, after all, referring to a specific God, the God of Christians and Jews. Is this an attempt to belittle the Christian God? If so, it won’t win you any respect in this forum … assuming you want respect.
