Was it necessary to create anything?

Thanks RobertE

If I had to guess, I'd say the majority of christians have never sat down and actually read the bible as a story, start to finish. I think most of them have looked at snippets, almost all of which are the popular ones recommended to sound the best by their priests or whatever. So in their mind, there is a consistent narrative to some degree and they don't think about all the gaping plot holes.

I reckon if every christian in the world sat down today and read that bad boy right through, there would be a lot of frowning, wincing and a slew of awkward questions for these "priests". And at least a few new atheists after they're done processing the shite they have read.

Sounds like a great idea doing your analysis

The other problem we have with Adam and Eve (as if we need more) is all the incest, as we know this is a huge problem when closely related people breed. If we were down to that few people, we would never have got where we are. And there has to have been at the very least a bit of sex with sisters or mothers. I don't know how much christians have thought about that. Who else are Adam's sons gonna get unleafy with?
