Atheist Bible Study 1: Genesis

[Bucky Ball]

I love this.  I recall when one of the religitards must have wasted hours of his time trying to persuade people that the two creation stories in genesis were really the same story.  He embarrassed himself as usual.  Anyway, here's a bunch of bible-thumpers who have seen reality.

The Two Creations in Genesis

The Bible opens with two different creation stories. The accounts are similar in that they both describe the creation of animals, plants, and humans. But they are distinct in several ways and even contradict each other on key issues.

Because of these and other divergences, it is likely that separate authors with distinct theological views and agendas wrote these myths. The differences in the accounts reflect the unique way each author conceptualizes the deity. In Gen 1, God is distant, creating through speech according to a master plan. This image contrasts with Gen 2, where the author depicts God as a human-like figure who walks in the garden and, like a potter working with clay, has a hands-on, trial-and-error approach to creation. God in this version seems more accessible than the transcendent creator of Gen 1.

And they even dare to call them "myths" which will doubtless cause jesus freaks to blow a gasket!

The best part of the second one is that he didn't know what to make Adam for his partner. 
So .... they held "wife try-outs", "but none proved to be a suitable partner for the man".
