If creationism is true, then why is it useless?

man appeared before animals, and animals appeared before women, according to Genesis 2.
Unless Genesis 1 is a framework story ... right, professor?

True, student.... if Genesis 2 agrees with it -- which it does not.

Actually it does.

How many times was Adam placed into the Garden in Genesis 2?

Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Congratulations, AV -- you've proven that according to Genesis 2, God created Adam twice... both times before he created the other animals, meaning it now disagrees with Genesis 1 twice as much as it did before.

You're a true friend to the agnostic and skeptics.

Ever have any students opt out of your class and wonder why?

The Old Testament consists of 39 books, laid out as follows:

17 books of history ... 5 books of poetry ... 17 books of prophecy.

Broken down further:

5 books of Moses/12 books of post Egyptian history.

5 books of poetry.

5 books of major prophets/12 books of minor prophets.

And those can be broken down even further, while still maintaining literary balance.

That has nothing to do with my post. Anyway, there is no 'old testament'. There in only Tanakh.

Does the Tanakh say the earth was one language prior to the tower of Babel incident?
