God created the world in 7 days. Define "Day"

[Minimalist]

oh wow, you'd think even jewish slaves in egypt would have more sense than that...

There's no evidence that there were ever any appreciable numbers of "jewish" slaves in Egypt.

I'm sure that, just as with the modern day slavery, slavery back during the days of the egyption empire was just as equal opportunity as it is today. (Except possibly the sex trade industry, which has a predilection for women and children).

It does not appear as if there were any "Jews" at all until sometime after the return from the alleged "exile" in Babylon.

The fantasies in their silly books notwithstanding Judaism is at best a mid-first millenium invention rather than a second or third millenium invention.

How the hell did god keep his time before our system was set up (the solar system). And what planet's day? Surely not GODS day as he is everywhere. My mom has brought this up with me before, "maybe one day or year in the bible isn't the same as the current earth's day or year". IMO it shows that God was man made.

Why does something all powerful need to rest? Especially after doing just six days of work after sitting around for an eternity doing fuck all. The polish have got a better work ethic.

God doesnt need to rest:

What i mean is, how exactly is an immortal God, who is immune to the effects of time, and is suppose to be outside of time... able to be measured by time?

Perhaps our understanding of God is wrong.

Deist Pladadin, your video should be more thoroughly researched, do some reading of credible scholars about Genesis, like John Walton...

It still is odd to me that God took longer to create the Earth than the Universe according to the Bible.....

Every civilisation old and new have slaves, why would Egypt be an exception?

[krazedkat]

What he said was that there is no evidence that Egypt had a large amount of Hebrew slaves -.-

[Minimalist]

Correct, KK.

[krazedkat]

It is evident that the Egyptians DID have slaves... Not for sure Hebrew.

But not mass slavery on the later scale of the Greco-Romans.

Egypt used a corvee labor system. They employed their own citizens for building projects when the fields were flooded. Sort of an Egyptian WPA.

The Egyptians were pretty tame when it came to slavery, I read that in one of the later conquests of the Nubians by the Lower Kingdom the victorious egyptians laid out their demands that Nubia should provide 1 slave for everyday of the year at the end of the year that they had conquered the territory. So the powerful kingdom of Egypt took only 365 (give or take a few days) slaves after a massive military campaign, which shows that the Egyptians didn't seem concerned with obtaining vast numbers of slaves at all. That leads me to assume that Egypt wasn't an evil empire bent on enslaving the rest of the world as they're made out to be, if they were, using that Nubian Conquest example they could've taken thousands of slaves.

The source for that ^ by the way was taken from either a scroll or a tablet made as an assessment by the egyptians at the time, like a tax record I suppose.

Nice videos, you ever done one on this?
