Re: Why do you insist on making God look stupid?
Now here we have a differing opinion of the word good. Your definition of good is obviously different from mine, and Gods. The words 'very good' being uttered by Almighty God (who is Perfect, good, without blemish, etc. etc. etc.) is in my book, and His, perfect.
That would be an interpretation, not a direct reading of the text.
"Very good" does not literally mean "perfect."
Is your god incapable of communicating clearly? Why use one word when he means another?
Why are you presuming to put words in your god's mouth?
How presumptuous must you be to claim to know what god meant in the book you believe he inspired himself to be literally true?

Every time a fundy breaks the laws of thermodynamics, Schroedinger probably kills his cat.
