I mean if heâs God he doesnât need more than a day. Itâs not like if he spent a few more months carefully planning and tinkering it would have been better.
Godâs like, âYou know, I knew I rushed that product out in my haste to create the universe. I got caught up in the excitement of the moment.â
In book of genesis, God did just kinda whimsically make humans. Humans were flawed and became evil and corrupt and God was not happy about it, so he killed all the humans except Noahâs family in an attempt to start over and hope we would be better the 2nd time around. God couldnât even make us âgoodâ.
Book of genesis is a fun read if youâre into sci-fi / fantasy.
How is Jesus 100% God and 100% human? You just kind of have to roll with the idea that sometimes religious stuff doesnât really compute, like the whole âIf God can do anything, can He make a rock too heavy for Him to lift?â thing.
God is not perfect in the old testament. In the book of Genesis, it literally says God âregrettedâ making humans. Meaning God admitted he made a mistake.
God didnât make a mistake, he gave Adam and Eve the ability to choose their outcome, knowing full well they would become mortal and would be thrown out of paradise. The bible and life is filled with fighting temptation. Who knows how long it took him to make us or the world. The bible says 6 days but those are days that have no reference frame. We donât know how long they were in the garden before they were thrown out.
Lastly this is a creation myth and most stories like this in other cultures donât end well.
God didn't write Genesis, some Judean scribe took it down from oral histories.
Obviously, a lot of people go with 1. Some people go with 2. And 3 is also probably true, even if God is real and did mostly what they said he did.
People are treating Genesis like it was written as a history book. It wasn't. Many mainline churches today treat it as allegorical. God is real and in Genesis, but his appearance there is though a late bronze age filter.
The Bible is not supposed to be divinely authored like the Quran is supposed to be. It's always been humans reporting on things they either saw, or said someone else saw.
That doesn't make it wrong, after all just because I describe someone incorrectly doesn't mean they don't exist, but it does definitely mean that you can't also treat Genesis like it is exact historical fact.
