Genesis 2
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
God: So you don't like the Tyranosaurus? How abouth the sloth?
Adam: I don't see how they would be helpful at all.
God: Well how about the giant Squid?
Adam: You have to be joking!
God: Hyuk! Hyuk! No, I am doing the best I can do.
Adam, Like the vampire bat and the porkypine? Or the giant salamander or
the walrus?
God: Hyuk! Hyuk! Remember, I have never done this before.
Are you sure you don't like the platypus or the mammoth?
Take another look at the plesiosaurs. I put quite a bit of effort in that.
Adam: Look, I appreciate the effort, but this is just a waste of both of our time.
can we break for lunch?
When you think about this silly myth, it paints God as an incompetent, bumbling idiot. Really, how can anybody read this part of Genesis and not see that immediately, the creator of this myth obviously did not think of God as being very smart and so created an oriental story teller's tall tale that plays turns on God's ignorance.
This seems to me to work well as an argument on those simple creationist souls that want me to take Genesis seriously. or maybe not most so far have simply dealt with it by running away.
How can any intelligent person read this and take Genesis seriously?
