Let's Discuss Creationism

[PsychoSarah]

Anyone going to mention that there are TWO completely different creation orders in Genesis? Just me?

In the [allegedly] second version (i.e., Genesis 2), how many times was Adam placed into the Garden?

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.

Not the sort of order I meant

You're more than welcome to give your POV here.

You don't have to summon someone else to do it for you, do you?

And speaking of your opinion: how many times was Adam placed into the Garden in Genesis 2?

The real question there is why it is stated twice, and so close together

Sounds to me like you don't want to discuss it.

You want someone else to do it for you.

And that is, of course, your prerogative.

Even you must have noticed that the bible can be weirdly repetitive, especially in the Old Testament. I am just trying to find a good source that has both creation orders on the same page is all, I do want to discuss it.

 

[DogmaHunter]

Which one(s) do you disagree with?

Seeing how there isn't any way to validate one over the other... I disagree with all of them. And yes, yours is on there as well.

 

[Kalevalatar]

And yet, in some other countries, those few scarce lines, apparently, pass for a bona fide "scientific theory" to be "taught" in classrooms? What a laugh.

There is only one listed.

 

[TLK Valentine]

There is only one listed.

You sure you want to go with that answer?

THE BIBLE SAYS IT, THAT SETTLES IT

The problem with this stance is there is a very wide range of opinion on what the Bible actually says.

It seems to be very clear English to me. I mean you can understand my first sentence, can't you or do you have a wide range of opinion on what I just said?

 

[EternalDragon]

You sure you want to go with that answer?

Yes. Genesis 1:11-31. There is one order listed for the six days of creation.

You are going to have to give me a little better hint of what you are talking about. I was discussing AV's tag of THE BIBLE SAYS IT, THAT SETTLES IT.

This exchange doesn't make a lot of sense. What was your first sentence?

[TLK Valentine]

Yes. Genesis 1:11-31. There is one order listed for the six days of creation.

And Genesis 2:7-23 doesn't touch on this at all?

Again, you sure you want to go that route?

Indeed -- Genesis 1 vs Genesis 2.

Nope, not at all.

Genesis 2 is not a description of the six days of creation. It is an overview of day 6 where God made the garden, made Eve and additional animals for Adam in the garden.

Additional animals, you say? So there were already animals present when God kept trying (and failing) to create a suitable helper for Adam?
