Because the Bible is the only origins book worth debating?

HUH?
Is there any origin explanation in the Bible.
Yes, Genesis. How come noone here ever debates the Hindu texts or Koran? Most of the subforums are dedicated to whether the Bible is the word of God or not.

Actually, not even in Genesis. Genesis 1 is more a matter of organization. Genesis 2&3 have some critter creation. But neither is really about creation or provide any explanation of how anything gets created.
Genesis marks the beginning of the temporal and material world. The rest of the chapter explains the process of creation in detail. I dont see how even an atheist or nonbeliever could possibly say that Genesis doesnt have an origin explanation.

There is no evidence in the Hebrew text of a gap between Genesis 1 and 2. It doesnt tell us much besides the instantaneous and miraculous act of God by which He brought the universe and earth into existence.

in genesis 1, god simply commands things to happen, and they do. and most of his commands regard organization. there isn't anything being created out of nothing.
Thats exactly what happened. The traditional belief is that God created the heavens and the earth "ex nihilo" or from nothing.
