I just started rereading the Holy Bible, King James Version. I never finished the Old Testament. I just read Genesis Chapter 1-3 and now my doubt about the Holy Bible is growing. My doubt is about whether this is 100% the word and will of God, and whether or not things left out or added to the Bible with certain intentions.
This is going to be a long post. Just wanted to warn anyone reading this.
Now go to Genesis Chapter 2, verses 4 -25.
The part that has me in doubt is the fact that those verses state Man was created and then other creatures of Earth were created. The order of creation is different than Chapter 1, verses 20-31.
Another thing I noticed was Genesis Chapter 1 says God created them, male and female. But Genesis Chapter 2 states God created Man and then took a rib from man and created female. Then why would Genesis 1 say he created them and it strongly suggests man and woman were created at the same time?
You'll also notice God said they were created in "Our" likeness. Who else was with God? Was he talking about the angels? Or . . . was there someone with God? A goddess perhaps? It would make sense, male and female.
Last but not least, there's the Book "The Davinci Code". The book talks that certain people wanted man to be superior to women and they went to certain means to accomplish this. I know the book is fiction, but what if some of that is true or what if the truth is only a little exaggerated?
I can't shake the feeling that maybe, just maybe, there is a Goddess out there.
More questions include:
Why was the tree of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden in the first place? God does not tempt his children, so why was the tree there?
God said the serpent would crawl on the ground from now on. So was the serpent not on the ground? Reptiles walk on fours, but could it be that the serpent was walking on hind legs like humans?
Finally, it is called the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. BUT, it seems like Adam and Eve already knew the difference. They knew what obeying and disobeying God was. Then, why wouldn't God want us to know the difference between Good and Evil? The sin was disobeying God or it appears that way. He also says, "Behold, man has become like one of us . . ." Is he talking about the angels or again could there be a Goddess beside him?
I do not doubt God, but I DO doubt man. It says in Revelations not to add or remove from the word, but that doesn't mean man wouldn't do it.

Genesis Chapter 1 verses 20-31. said:And God said, "Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens." So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds., and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. And there was morning, a fifth day.
And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds. And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion ove44r the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth." And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.
