Avoiding questions

Don't forget my original question

Question: How was it possible for darkness to cover the ocean when the ocean was not there?I am just following the story of the holy bible and its mistakes. First line says creation of earth, second line clarifies the earth is empty.You have made claims without substantiation.

Can we use the same english version of the holy bible, so there is no discrepancy. So could you please copy and paste Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 from your named source, whatever english version you want.

Also don't forget these questions

The very first 2 lines of the bible and there are errors. How is it that your supposed god stuffed up the first 2 lines? If god is perfect, why are the first 2 lines wrong?

Who's to say if anyone's Hebrew is perfect?
I can see the first two lines as an analogy and NOT a literal interpretation.

The word for "earth" was הארץ , nf. country, land; earth, ground, geo-; territory

In what context do you think it was used for in Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2?

You do know that the Hebrew Bible was meant to provoke thought and discussion, don't you?

Is it .

So, if you can apply "earth" to mean "matter", it may make sense, but I bet that you can't do that.

For enough money I can apply "earth" to mean whatever you want to make sense for whatever you want. Until you provide me with enough incentive I will stick with common sense and not behave like a christian fundamentalist.
