That this is the real Bible and it clears up a great deal of misconceptions by the skeptic.

You can make the bible say whatever you want if you start with the conclusion it is true, so must say what you want it to, and then "interpret" it. God sure is a shitty writer because he can barely get two people to agree on his bullshit book.
Why an omnipotent God needs to rest, or needs time to create stuff, is another story.
But thousands of years after the creation's seventh day began King David said it continued on in his day and thousands of years later Paul said the same thing and thousands of years later than that that day continues to this day.
You can't make the Bible say whatever you want you can only misinterpret or misrepresent it.
The Bible doesn't say that God is omnipotent in the strict religious sense of the word, and his rest was a period of time in which he would have allowed mankind to fulfill their purpose of filling and subduing the earth. Since that was temporarily stalled due to Adam's disobedience that period of time will continue until Christ becomes King and the meek inherit the earth.

Yeah...and shortly thereafter according to the Big Book of Holy Horseshit he was so pissed that he drowned damn near everything. How come this omniscient 'god' didn't know that things were going to shit? Why is he always surprised when his plans don't work out?
Apparently he did know and thus the flood. The Bible doesn't present God as omniscient, and his plans always work out.
