Atheist Bible Study 1: Genesis

[Chad32]

Oh Genesis. Probably one of the last books you'd want a nonbeliever to read, if you want the rest of the book to be taken seriously. The creation story, Eden, the flood, Babel, Abraham and Isaac, and maybe something I forget.

Christians will say he created everything, and yet outer space and a globe of water seemed to exist before the story even started. I'm not sure how you can have light without the sun. And the light can't be god, unless the verse means he turned himself into light, whereas he wasn't light beforehand. It mentions the sun and moon will be lesser and greater lights, but the first light is just an enigma.

There are a lot of what happens that goes against how we know the world works today, making the creation story more or less meaningless.
