Re: On the Accuracy of Genesis or Why I believe Genesis is True.
I know this reply is as old as the hills, but.... I still want to just reply. I totally agree with this angle. the Bible is about a relationship. It is not a science lesson. As far as being different authors of Genesis.. I never dug that deep into it to really say so or not. I'm sure it is quite possible. I am sure there is alot of mystery to The Bible and more than likely plenty of missing books too.

Re: On the Accuracy of Genesis or Why I believe Genesis is True.
Then why is it making claims on how Earth was formed? Why is it making claims on how life started?, from my experience, a book about relationship tells how to enhance one, how to make someone else feel loved. Trying to claim such large events would certainly warrant some need for evidence.
You have got to be kidding me? Wow.. Big claim.. All ONE sentence. And how many other sentences does The Bible speak of relationship? A relationship between man and God. It deals with all you say and more. It is quite obvious it isn't trying to corner the market on explaining or teaching science.
You're sure it is? You're sure a woman can be created from a man's rib?, you're sure it's possible the Sun and Moon were created after plants, and revolving around Earth?
I never said it was literally elite and perfect. Far from that. I would say some parts are, others are not. The scientific evidence I agree with-for the most part. So that doesn't make me a YEC. I follow more along the lines of a progressive creationist or a thiest evolutionist. I do not know enough about the fossil record to make a complete judgement. I would like to discuss that with someone on this board that is knowledgeable about such things.
Didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but I think you should know my position on this matter. The "quite possible" I was actually refering to was different authors of Genesis and the OT in general....

Re: On the Accuracy of Genesis or Why I believe Genesis is True.
Then shouldn't Science be the one explaining how the Earth formed, since there was centuries of research put in it?, instead of a book about a relationship?
I am not disagreeing with your statement. I am confused as to why you are asking me this?
In other words, you cherry-pick what you think is right?
No, I am just intelligent enough to know that not everything one reads can be taken word for word. I am also aware that the people of that time described real events in their lives as best they could.
But do you think genesis is true?
I think there are some parts that explain the truth the best way a person could describe it at the time. I do not think every word is literally correct.
