Now look what you've done, CD.
No internets for you.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

It was interesting of YOU to put a religious spin on the nonsense of GENESIS
However - the real problem is that the MYTHOLOGY of Genesis is just that - no more true than the greek mythology or that of the Egyptians.
THE timeline of genesis creation is nonsense - the earth is may times older than 6000 years - there was NEVER a time when ALL of the life on earth existed at the same time - and never will be.
The story of the Exodus is also a much later created fable. First - there is no evidence that the Hebrews even existed at the time of the supposed exodus. At that time -they certainly were not in bondage to Egypt - we already have a complete list of those who were - written in stone.
THERE is no evidence that a million people wandered through the Israeli desert - and there would be LOTS of that - just in normal garbage left behind. We already know that the story of Jericho is false - there was NO fortified city at the site at the time of the supposed battle.
The great flood - which also NEVER happened - would be an example of the murder of an incredible number of children who were too young to have "sinned" - and one cannot claim that they would have - and still say they had "free will" not to.
The problem with those "explanations" of the bible by thiests - is that they can never get it straight that is it FICTIONAL - no more real than the rest of religions of that time.
