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.
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?
That's where the 'godlike' power comes into play, man had creative power.
Jesus is God, yet Jesus is also referred to as the second Adam. Jesus is the example of what man was supposed to be in the beginning.
Did not Jesus feed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and two fish? How were bread and fish able to multiply?
Are you saying that the passage in Genesis "be fruitful and increase in number" really means increase the number of animals and plants?
I read it as they themselves were to be fruitful, they themselves were to bear fruits, aka reproduce. Am I wrong?
