Genesis and Creation is one of the two the main pillars of religion. The other main pillar of religion is the concept of everlasting life either in Heaven or Hell. What existed before anything was created? The big void? What did the big void exist in? Who created God the Creator? The Jewish calendar states.... As of 2010 AD, creation date was 5771 years ago. Creation date: 3761 BC In 1650, the Reverend James Ussher, archbishop of Armagh calculated the date of creation as 9 AM on October 23 in the year 4004 BC. I would love to see the begats calculations. The best place to examine Genesis in the Bible is the web site http://skepticsannotatedbible.com These people have spent a great deal of effort in making sense out of nonsense. Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? Adam was made from dirt, and Eve from a rib. Why would they have a belly button? Adam was made before Eve. Why would Adam have nipples? Adam and Eve have children. It would seem that incest was rampant amongst Adam and Eve's children. It's also possible that Eve herself bore some of her own grandchildren. Given what we know about our Universe and the speed of light, the Bible tells us (actually infers it), that warp speed (faster than light) is possible. If creation ocurred 6,500 years ago and some galaxies are millions of light years away, then they must have really moved rather quickly on creation date. This brings into question as to why we have a public education system to educate these people. I believe that religious zealots should be excluded from getting a public education. Every village has the lighter of the light (the teacher), and the extinguisher of the light (the clergy). Strangely enough, religious zealots feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from lesser life forms, but they have no problem with the Biblical claim that they were created from dirt. If you read Genesis 1-31, you discover that God created the Heavens and the Earth in total darkness. Then he created light. On the third day, he creates plants and trees, but it seems that he creates the Sun, moon and stars on the fourth day. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.          Genesis 1:16 These morons couldn't even tell the difference between real light and reflected light. They also did not understand what stars were or how many there really were. Our sun, one of untold trillions of stars. constitutes 99.5% of the mass of our solar system. In reality, most people believe in Creationism or Genesis simply because it is easier to read one easy book, than a bunch of hard ones. Why did this omnipotent god limit his perfect creation? Why do we get cancer or heart disease? Why do we get sick? Why do nine million children under the age of five die each year? Why do we only live around 80 years now? According to the bible, the inerrant word of god, we used to live for 900 years just 3,000 years ago. Why do we not have roll-away wheels when we want to go fast? Why can't we be pleasured with an orgasm when we sneeze hard? Why do our orgasms only last seconds? Why do we have to eat for energy? Why do we not get most of our energy from the sun thru our skin? Why do we not possess psycho-kinetic powers? Why do we not have mental telepathy? Why can we not turn invisible like our creator? Why did we not come equipped with cheap plasma weapons to kill our opponents? Perhaps, your god is phony baloney?
