    That still doesn’t work because plants and trees are created before the sun. Not to mention the lack of pollinators because God hadn’t yet created insects.

      Clearly you’ve never played telephone.

      I’m just amazed that the ancient israelis got it as close as they did to our modern understanding of the process of the formation of the universe through only oral tradition and not from any hard sources of science.

      Personally I’m in the camp that says trust the science and realize that ancient Israeli tribals weren’t the best at keeping 100% accurate records.

      I’m also partial to the simulation theory variant where we are the sims on Gods PC.

        Got it close? It’s wrong in almost every way possible. Earth before Sun. Plants before the sun. No insect pollinators until after the sun and birds before land animals.

        It’s completely random.

            It’s fine if you don’t read the Bible literally. As long as you also accept that Jesus didn’t actually die and resurrect. You didn’t read it literally, did you?

              It’s so nice that you showed up to have a bad faith argument. Look at you so precocious.

                You want it both ways.

                And I see the insults are starting because you have no reasonable reply.

                  I’m very open to discuss my beliefs but you have to ask instead of insult.

                  Have you ever considered that I do believe in a literal Jesus that lived and died. My personal interpretation is God an nth dimensional being fires up the sim known as our universe and has fun designing spacetime and life in our sim for a few billion years. Eventually he gets bored and wants more interactive NPCs. So then God decided to impart sapience via further evolution to our human ancestors. He gets frustrated with the NPCs and their weird primate behaviors and tries to do the authority figure bit, it fails. Makes a new plan become part human and live as a human to understand our perspective better. Immediately realizes how fucked his creation is once it is able to be experienced in our time based chemistry driven existence and absolves the whole sin thing.

                    I know. That’s why I brought it up and you reacted so hostile.

                    You pick and choose what to believe. You believe in Jesus only because it’s in the Bible but don’t believe in the parts Bible when it’s inconvenient.

                    Science memes is for science jokes, not Christian apologetics.

        Isn’t it weird how God manifests himself in different ways depending where your physical location on earth is. It’s almost like if each culture puts its own spin on religion because there is no continuity between a people that existed thousands of years ago and the people of today.

          Just a little fun fact about the abrahamic religions.

          It’s explicitly stated that there are other gods. It’s just that the abrahamic one does not like them and wants to be the god of everything.
