First light is 240-300k after the big bang. Notably absent in the universe, any earth to have any waters to "hover over". Maybe it was a transposition error. God told Some Guy the actual order, but he fucked it up and switched them around? Or, hey, maybe this god just doesn't know what the actual order was and Some Guy credulously but very accurately recorded it's order of events. This issue reoccurs throughout genesis. Either way, those are two possibilities, assuming a god, that magic book ended up in the state it is today.
Frankly, I'm not sure how we go from "some guys knew some shit" to "therefore god exists" - but I wouldn't want to risk the second bit by granting the first right or wrong-making ability...particularly if magic book was going to be my case example. We either do or don't believe that the scientific accuracy of a magic book is indicative of whether the god of that magic book exists - but, if so, then the scientific inaccuracy of a magic book would suggest what about the god of that magic book?
going from one point of view to the other in one step is not possible, I am merely expressing the question I asked myself, which led me to more questions. To the "magic book" question.......is your question: if the book is inaccurate, what does that say about GOD?
Understand, that my opinion is not based on "the magic book" itself, but on its writers and their first entry. And how they knew.
Later on, in a conversation with my daughter, we were talking about Thor, and his part in the Marvel Movies, especially in the Avengers. Specifically, we spoke of the scene where as Thor had to restart the star in order to form his new Thanos killing weapon.....Remember that? Anyway, I got me thinking the same thing. See, the name of Thor's hammer is Mjolnir. It was made of a URU METAL, a type of enchanted material like "unobtainium". I found it interesting that the Norse knew that a star would have immense power, the kind of power that you could make an unearthly weapon. How did they know it? Just a good guess to I suppose.
