What people are saying is that Moses, if Moses actually existed, had absolutely nothing to do with writting anything in Genesis.

And yes, a very valid issue I've often discussed is why so often two completely contradictory tales got included in the books that were accepted to become canonized as was done with Genesis 1 and Genesis 2&3 and even more with the two flood myths found in Genesis 6&7.

"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened. �And rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights ... and the waters prevailed upon the earth for a hundred and fifty days ... At the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had abated , and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark come to rest on the mountains of Ararat. �And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen ... In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month ... Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold the face of the ground was dry. �In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry." �Genesis 7:11- 8:5.

Does this read like a myth? I don't think so. It reads like real history.

But wait, there's more.

The Bible has two mutually exclusive flood myths all mushed up together.

The Bible has two creation myths and they two contradict each other in the order of creation, the method of creation and in the descriptions of the god character.

In fact all of Genesis and Exodus read just like myths and folk tales.

So does this chronology of part of the history of Tolkien's Middle Earth: http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Arda

He was a superb story teller though - not many authors invent a coherent language with its own alphabet to underpin their work.

You will find his work, however, in the fantasy section and not the history section.

SEE and study the TRUE HISTORY OF THE FLOOD thread..... its my thread suggestion and my proofs, but it just straight from Genesis and anyone can prove it for themselves.....

There are no contradictions, in the geological amazing record. No missing links or misssing gaps, its all chronological and exact

I am not allowed to give my hyperlinks but anyone can find out the history for themselves if they search and are honest.

The flood at your "exact" date has been disproved. I posted the evidence a dozen times, but so far you have refused to acknowledge those posts or respond in any meaningful way.

You have no evidence, you lose.

And as you already know, I am not allowed to oppose your fantasities in science there, and so just hang out in the COFFEE SHOP and am teaching biblical and prophecy truths NOW.

The SCIENCE field is totally without opposition, as thats the only way evolutionists are used to operating and enforcing their luck and chance doctrine and theory.

Gensis 1 and 2 are not allegorical but literal... and the 24 hour day is justified rather than eons between the plant life creation and the sun creation by the Lord of all Creations... sometimes called the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.... also called JESUS.

Ha, I can supposedly write his NAME here becauyse this is the BIBLE sub-board, so I think I can get away with it. We shall see, oh how the evolutionsts/atheists complain...... even about the Bible.

Your date may be "exact" but there was no flood at that "exact" time.

You read old tribal myths, I read the real-world evidence from the soils--and both my own research and that of archaeologists and geologists around the world say there was no such flood. Deal with it.
