ok people are getting stuck up on the whole genesis thinger still...
ok so here it is. The yom thing is right it was a mistranslation by scribes and any selfrespecting relegios scholar (apparently not most clergy men) would be able to tell you that. I guess they don't because that'd be admitting that some of their higher ups and forerunners made a mistake.
To make it a little clear to you picture it this way because you keep asking why didn't god give moses a specific time?
Pretend you're this all knowing being. You created the earth for all of your children whom you love. One of your children who knows virtually nothing compared to your magnitude of knowledge asks you to explain how things happened. You are going to simplify things ALOT. I mean maybe god did do the whole evolution thing but how the hell would he have explained that to moses. when moses in reality had no understanding of even basic biology. He wouldn't know about cells or dna similarly we probably have a few misconceptions ourselves about how things played out but the bible as far as it is translated correctly is probably the easiest thing to understand as far as the whole thing goes. And if there is a god then it's definitely all that he feels we need to know to help us develop our healthy curiousities into a wealth of our own understanding. I mean sure he could just say everything as it is, but look how that's turned out so far. People refuse to believe the few things he has stated as laws to a better way so why would he have us deny our own existence? |
