Re: ‘No Creation story/myth’ / ‘several Creation stories/myths?
Dear Jar,
Nice hearings from you again; pray you are well.

As to the contradictions between the newer fable found in Genesis 1 and the earlier fable found in Genesis 2&3, they differ in the order of creation, the method of creation and the very gods themselves.
You and others keep claiming that there are ‘contradictions’ between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2&3 but you still have failed to give any evidence for these supposed contradictions.
Crashfrog and I went round and round on this and the best he could come up with was saying that a word should have been added to the text {in Chapter 2} which would have made the text say what he wanted it to say.

If the Christian Creation fables are taught it should be pointed out that they are simply myths, that they are mutually exclusive and that they were never meant as science and were both included in the bible because they were not factual but rather poetic and metaphorical.
You prove that they are mutually exclusive and that the Genesis account(no ‘s’) {As Crashfrog pointed out in one of his posts: this is one document; broken up it to Chapters and Verses much later} is not factual then I will agree with you. Until that time I will consider it one, on going, missive not a collection of mismatched fables that do not hold up under honest scrutiny.
Thank you again for your input,
JRTjr
P.S.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
Yes, I have to agree; Sticking to the facts is extremely handicapping. However, I can live with that handicap.
