Why Christians Attack Evolution

[popeyespappy]

I would if I had filled it full of fairy tales borrowed from various religions.

I agree. it would be a story of fairy tales if this was the case

The Garden of Eden, Adam, the flood story even the reed basket Moses was pulled from the Nile in are adaptations of earlier Mesopotamian fables. Exodus as written in the Bible never happened. Neither did Joshua’s conquest of Canaan. Much of what is contained in Proverbs was taken from Egyptian history.

Yahweh began as just another minor member of the Mesopotamian Parthenon. The Jewish people were polytheistic until at least the 4th century BC. There is evidence to support this both within the pages of the Old Testament and the Elephantine Papyri. Archeology tells us the Yahweh figure even had a mother figure consort well after the time most Christians claim the Jews were fully monotheistic.

El elyon, one of the names for God listed in the Old Testament was the high God in Ugarit.
