Why Creationists don't realize the biblical Creation is just jewish mythology?

RE: Why Creationists don't realize the biblical Creation is just jewish mythology?
(July 22, 2019 at 2:20 am)Godscreated Wrote: God told Abraham that his descendants would be as innumerable as the stars in the heaven. Now how is it that a man of that time could have written such a statement when there are only around 6000 stars visible to the naked eye in the darkest of night skies. Don't try and argue there are more visible stars than that, it is established fact and do not try and say that it's metaphorical because that is a literal statement from the scriptures, so tell me how the writer could have ever know that the stars are innumerable?

Really GC, what is your obsession with Abraham and number 6000? In Genesis 17:5 Abraham  is called the "father of many nations" so are you saying all these nations together had 6000 people? Image of stars is not set on some exact number but a rhetorical move on sheer number. Even in Genesis 22:16 angel says to Abraham that "I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore." - so are you also claiming there are 6000 sand grains on seashore?

And if you believe that Abraham existed then he is a direct ancestor of every human living today, as is the case with every person that lived prior to 700 years ago.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
