It's strange, for example, that the bible doesn't accurately describe the formation of earth, or the emergence of animals, of our origins -even-. Strange in that, purportedly, it's getting it's info from the guy who claims to have done all that. I'd expect a creator god to know what happened, I'd expect a creator gods story to line up with reality.
This leaves us with a few possible explanations...none particularly flattering. Either god (or the author purporting to write gods story) is misleading us about being the creator, or is misleading us in regards to the method, manner, and timeline of creation. Or......the story has nothing to do with either any god, any creation, the author was simply mistaken.
Thoughts?
The Bible doesn't give much detail on how God made the earth but why is that a problem? In terms of reality, an all powerful God could spit a universe out of his mouth if he wanted, so why should we limit him in terms of his methodology? Does God have to make his ways fit our limited capacity of understanding?
