Genesis---better creation story?

Poll question: Genesis---better creation story?

[WeRQ4U]

1. I don't believe in Genesis, I only believe in Xenu

If the poll does not refer to irradiated, yet parasitic alien cadavors of some kind, it is flawed.

2. Not too original, Genesis. Other religions in the area did it first.

3. or the havocmom versions:

The gods were partyin' hardy, one puked and the humans were created.

OR

God created the earth, the seas, the plants and the beasts in the fields. And it was good, except that God was allergic to some of them and sneezed...

Mine makes as much sense.

4. The first story (which you have second) is the best!

That one's my favorite - day by day creation, ending with the creation of man and woman at the same time, both in the image of God, which GOd is, in that moment, a plurality ("Let US make human beings in OUR image").

The fundy fucks like to put the two together, and make it day by day creation, ending with Adam, and then Eve. But in the Adam and Eve story, Adam is first (and Adam isn't actually male, he's an "sexually undifferentiated earth creature", the real meaning of the word, ala Phylis Trible), THEN God creates everything else (animals, trees, birds, etc.), and THEN, not having found a suitable mate for the sexually undifferentiated earth creature, God makes woman out of its rib, and she gets the name Eve which is a form of the verb "to be". So Adam (earth creature) is made from adamah (dirt), and Eve is a form of "to be"ness.

6. cool! All I know is that if you post over FR "why are there 2

creation stories---so the bible can't be literal, right?" it makes their heads spin as they gently try to explain that there aren't two, there's just one, tho they can't really explain how these two stories are just one story...


Fun with freepers!

10. freepers are so fucking ignorant they should be put in their own zoo

for the entertainment of those of us who can think.

We;ll watch them throw feces at each other and then suing each other while shouting "tort reform!" and "There is no evolution!!" and we'll all yell back, "Not for you!"
