A better understanding of the Creation

May 4, 2008 2:10pm CST
This is probably going to be a long post. I see alot of confusion on this topic, mainly becouse the way we translated the bible. I know the vast majority of you have no access to the Hebrew languge, let alone Ugarit and Akkadian. So there within is the problem. Lets see if we can better understand what the scripture says. Gen 1:1In the beginning God (Hebrew: Elohim) created the hevens and the earth, See that this was not the first day? the first day has not happened and no time period has been give except in the beginning. Next verse in most bibles sat the earth was void and without form, this is incorrect as the hebrew word here translated as "was" is hayah (haw-yaw) wich means became or came to be, the word without form is tohuw (to'-hoo) wich means desalation or empty place. So in the first two verses we read that long ago god created the earth and the earth BECAME a decolate and empty place. Something happened to the earth, God did not create it that way. and as a result Dakness (kho-shek) was over the face of the earth. And the spirit of God (ruwach Elohim)hovered (brooded) over the face of the waters. 1:3 And God said let there be light. This time corectly the word Hayah is correctly translated as be, or become. Light can ether be translated by the hebrew word 'owr' as light or the sun. So God said 'let the sun become eluminated on the earth'. 1:4 and the light was good and devided the light from the darkness. 1: and then God calls the light day and darkness night and the evening and morning was the first day, Or alternitively can be translated as 'A Day" as in when we call our work 'a day'. God follows with five more days. Most concider these literal days but there are other alternitives, of a thousand years being a day mentioned sevral times in the bible, so this could have been over sevral thousand years. The second assumption people make is that the man created on the sixth day was Adam, and the female is Eve. Wasn't Adam and Eve the first man and woman? Not neccerarly. The confusion gets deeper in the second chapter when the bible says after god made everything on the seventh day God rested. but look what happenes. God sees the fields and plants but htere is NO MAN to till the soil. What? didn' God create man on the sixth day? Yes he did, but he was not Adam Second see this is after the seventh day but does not say day eight. The time period here again is not given and any number of years could have gone by. But God created Adam to till the Garden. So God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed life into him and he became a living soul, Note he was not given a soul but was a soul, The bible does not say this about the man God created on the sixth day, only that they were created in the image of God. Adam is differnt as you can see, Not only is he created in the image of God being a man but is also a Solu (Hebrew Nephesh) More on this later. Then later he formed Eve from the rib of Adam, Why did not God just create a women like he did on the sixth day, and see that Eve was NOT created on the same day as Adam. Becouse this Human Line was to be different. The time period here can literaly strech millions of years, from when the eart was created to the time it was made desolate, to the day when God calls for light to again shine on the earth and the REPOPULATION of the earths trees, fish, birds and plant life. Then man. Then God took a rest. Then at some future point god created Adam and then Eve. This also explaines much about who Cains wife was. Adam and Eve were not the only 'man' on the face of the earth there were others, a diferent line that was created many thousands of years earlier, nomatic tribes and bagabons, Adam and Eve were different newcomers. Cain took a wife from one of these older tribes of man, then he built a city. Adams decendents are city builders and farmers. Nobody befor them cultivated the ground and raised livestock. The first were 'hunter gatheres', Adams decendents were farmer rancers and city dwellers. What evidence is there to suport these claims? Well ofcourse the first 'men were not true men. They were neandertal and Cro magnon man. DNA testing has shown that of middle and far east including American indigonous tribes have Cro magnon DNA mixed with moderen man DNA. As Cro-magnon man beat out neandertal Moderen Man pushed out Cro-magnon man, but also appaerently in some cases co-mingled with cro magnon as well, (also in some of Europe you see mingeling with neandertal/Cro-magnon DNA) Giving some cro-magnon trates like large brow ridges and high cheek boon structure. Some time about 10-12 thousand years ago moderen man came about as a side evolotionary process. This is what is know as the missing link. We can see the clear evolotionary prosses of Neandertal to cro-magnon, But Home Seipien Came up along side Cro-magnon without any explanation to how otr from wich species he came from, No link hence a 'missing link", This is becouse he was created, not evloved. But Cain went unto a "strange" woman, his ofspring are some of the eastern tribes and those anciant tribes of the Americas, They are the tribes of Cain, and his 'mark' is in their forheads, ie bone structure. Next article the flood.

Not only is what you write obscure to the point of being unreadable but then you go and make judgements about people you do not know. I am not and have never claimed to be an atheist. You are assuming a lot to claim that I am. I certainly do not consider myself an intelligent monkey. Back off and get your facts straight before you speak

Okay so your not an atiest but I have seen your anti religious comments on other post. I never claimed to be a writer either, but I wanted to write about something I know. It is hard for me to write anything without my software, so I can't cut and paste my writings. I just start writing. Problem is that in all your post and responces, you are an antaganist, You never have anything good to say about anything. all you do is go around insulting people, and their religious beliefs. I don't have to back off of nothing, you came to my post with YOUR bull, don't like it? then don't start with me.
