Absurdity in the Bible

[Cato]

He doesn't need anything with which to make the light. He can just make light.

Seeing how there's no mention of any other possible source, I guess God just turned himself on.

It is a vapid non-answer that would only satisfy morons.

No, you have a non-issue. God shoulda done it this way arguments only satisfy morons.

You do realise that you haven't presented an alternative don't you?

[John V]

You do realise that you haven't presented an alternative don't you?

No, I don't. Alternative to what?

I was stumbling through the internet and I came across this site. To be honest, I contemplated placing it under humor. However, the absurdities are not simply satire. The interpretations are what one with a logical, reasonable mind would expect to encounter while reading the bible.

Genesis

1. God creates light and separates light from darkness, and day from night, on the first day. Yet he didn't make the light producing objects (the sun and the stars) until the fourth day (1:14-19). And how could there be "the evening and the morning" on the first day if there was no sun to mark them? 1:3-5

2. God spends one-sixth of his entire creative effort (the second day) working on a solid firmament. This strange structure, which God calls heaven, is intended to separate the higher waters from the lower waters. 1:6-8

3. Plants are made on the third day before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes (1:14-19). 1:11

I think the writers of the Bible were very good to encapsulate the its, and humanity's, supreme obsurdity in 4 words - "In the beginning God" - right at its beginning so one wouldn't waste the time to read even the fifth word.
