Reliability of the creation account
#23
RE: Reliability of the creation account
An allegory? Are you saying God isn't making a direct claim that he created everything, in some manner or other? I wasn't even criticising the particular way he describes it.

Or are you saying the way he describes it was tailored for the audience at the time?

Cool examples guys, thanks. I think it's hilarious in Min's example when it says, "as those creatures were not able to praise him..." showing that creator gods are just like parents who have kids just so the kids will worship them. Then get really mad when they don't.

Oh dear, personal crisis. I realized the irony of the analogy I just made. One of my parents admitted pretty much the same thing to me. And has been throwing a massive tantrum ever since I became emotionally independent and so stopped relying on them for everything. The other parent joined in too with this behaviour after a little while. It's still ongoing, and I'm 37.

So I can sympathise mankind.
