Genesis - Bibledex

Famous for its creation story, Genesis is the first book in the Bible. But who wrote it? Who used it to "calculate" the Universe's exact creation date? And where can we find Noah's Ark?

All the books of the Bible are being covered by us at http://www.bibledex.com/

@DarkRaimundo But the bible end each day with "And the evening and the morning were the nth day. " unless this morning and evening bit was added in the translation this implies the 24 hour day. And the idea of a God doing things in six 24 hour periods, does not seem wildly unreasonable a creation myth for a bronze age civilisation.

@Alan Ford (-4004+6000) = 1996, or 1997 with the correction for year zero, not 2004/2005.

I like that, if you try to make the Bible into science than you'll end up making the faith look ridiculous.

"It didn't, as we know." Classic!

And these people call themselves scientist? Try 1997.

4004 BC to 2004 AD = 6000 years?!?

Yes I agree that is totally wrong... And it's not because there's no year 0!

I supposed to say earth; material dimension and heaven; non material dimension

[Melki]

I question what standard of time did the Creator use when he created things before the sun. The first thing was heaven and earth, I suppose the earth then was static not rotating? Probably "earth" in Genesis 1 meant material laws and heaven means non material laws?

uma das provas dos cientistas de que a terra tinha milhares de anos eram as estalactites das cavernas, pois acreditavam que duravam 100 anos para crescerem 1 cm, mas as hidroeletricas provaram que esse fato é mentiroso, pois em 1 ano já se acumulam estalactites enormes na parte de baixo, de onde corre água

I certainly didn't mean to imply that the religious are incapable of worthwhile scientific inquiry, but their advancements are not based upon their religion. A devout religious person can for instance develop a life-saving antibiotic but they won't be able to do that by reading their holy book, by praying, or by doing anything remotely religious. They will be able to achieve the feat through hard science, and their devotion to religion is an unrelated quirk of personality.
