day 1 - Creates the heavens and the earth.

day 2 -  he couldn't see a god damned thing creates light and dark also created the moon. (didn't create a source of light till day 4, if god was so smart he would have created the sun)

day 3 - creates vegetation (again no light source and no insects and bees to pollinate said vegetation)

day 4 - finally creates the god damned sun 

If you want to leave some of god's fuck ups please do this will be a educational thing for theists on the website.

God is only as smart as the people creating him. In short, not very. They didn't have an idea of the moon not being a source of light.

But even if you leave that out. God is supposed to be eternal. So what did he do besides sitting in a dark void playing on himself? Sort of eternal solitary confinement. You have to go nuts given the environment.

Well, lets see.

I'm God and I want Adam and Eve to obey me and live happily in the garden of Eden. I don't want them to eat the apple from the tree of life but I'll put the tree in the garden where they can reach it. I'll tell them not to eat of its fruit but since I didn't give them the ability to know right from wrong, they won't know it's wrong to disobey me. I'll also put the talking snake (which I created myself and know to be duplicitous) in with them. Then when they listen to the snake and eat of the fruit (which I knew was going to happen since I'm omniscient) I'll blame them instead of my own worthless ass.

Creates man
expects him to fuck other animals but forgets He made them of different species, and hence non-fuckable
Realizes the screwup but forgets how he created man from dust in the first place
Needs a sample of his previous creation in the form of a rib, before being able to make the next version.

Having said that, I'd like to state for the record (seriously and with not a trace of snark) that I love Genesis. Yeah, it's a strange and goofy-as-hell saga, but I think it's fun and I've always enjoyed reading it. I'm willing to cut ancient authors considerable slack when it comes to origin stories. They didn't know what they didn't know. Big deal. 

The only people who can dim my enjoyment of that book are the contemporary fuckwits who think they're reading history or the "inspired" word of their god and insist I should read it that way too. Those people could suck the fun out of a New Year's celebration at the Playboy mansion.

I have to admit, Nordic barbarian stories are really cool.

If you wanted to get technical origins really should have been like so

1. the heavens 

2. the stars (actual light) 

3. planets etc moons and shit 

4. life
