[split] AF Hall of Shame, various discussion including Denmark & bible contradiction

[pocaracas]

Hmmm... I did not know that.
Can you give me the chronology for all the books in the OT, please?

I couldn't tell you the chronological order off the top of my head, I just happen to know that Job is the oldest book, so stating it's a post-rationalization its simply not true.

That makes sense...
But I took a look at the wiki and here's what came out.

"Rabbinic tradition ascribes the authorship of Job to Moses, but scholars generally agree that it was written between the 7th and 4th centuries BCE, with the 6th century BCE as the most likely period for various reasons."

"Tradition credits Moses as the author of Genesis, as well as Exodus, Book of Leviticus, Numbers and most of Book of Deuteronomy, but modern scholars increasingly see them as a product of the 6th and 5th centuries BC."

The two books could have been contemporary, if the tradition is right, and Job could be post-Genesis, if one looks at the later dates posited for their writing.

Doesn't this go against the paragraph 28 I quoted before?

I don't see how if man had godlike power.

Well, you said that "man was never intended to reproduce sexually", and yet Genesis 1§28 states "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth". How how this second bit happen without sexual reproduction?
