In a sense, that's true.Genesis was believed to have been written by Moses about 1450-1410 B.C.
In a sense, that's true.
Genesis was edited by Moses --- but the book itself is a compilation of the writings of various inspired authors: from Adam to Joseph.
I disagree.I remember seeing a show on the History channel some time ago. The compared the major religous writings, and turns out there are congruent similarities in all of them. There is nothing really speacial about the Bible, as compared to any other creation/mythic account.
I disagree.
The Bible gives specific names, places, times, events, the order of these events, Who did what, how it was done, and even who the eyewitnesses were.
I don't know of any other creation story that goes into that much detail.
A good read on this subject is God's Voice in the Stars, by Kenneth C. Fleming:Here are the Scripture references to the stars being angels' homes:
no lucifer was a name for venus, bible editors played with the text to support a false belief.Lucifer is a fallen angel.
all of them do that!I disagree.

the koran does, the celtic myths are waaayyy more detailed than the bible is, considering sumarian mythology is were the bible stole most of its structure i'd say its more detailedI don't know of any other creation story that goes into that much detail.
read exodus AGAIN AV. the torah is written down by moses, he doesn't edit anything, god tells him what to write.In a sense, that's true.

nice try, but your claim is baseless, at most you could say that according to tradition, it was written by two people moses and someone after he died.
Yes and no.Do you beleive that the earth is only 6000 years old?
Occam's Razor.If so why?
Both Adam and Eve were created on the 6th day.If Adam was created the 3rd day, and Eve the 6th day, then who are all the other men and women created on the 6th day also?
No, that's called Automatic Handwriting, and that's a form of demonic possession.Was Fleming's hand guided by God when this book was written?
Occam's Razor.
It's the simplest explanation that allows for both a literal Genesis 1, and a literal scientific dating.
your argument is pointless because science would still be in error about its measurements, not just the "real story."
The Thread title and the description in the first post clearly sets the scene here that this thread is for the purpose that AV is going to address any questions based on his position on Genesis 1 or otherwise called the Creation week.
Therefore, your argument is pointless.
I disagree.

With the exception of the eyewitnesses (found in Job), all the others are in Genesis 1.The Bible gives specific names, places, times, events, the order of these events, Who did what, how it was done, and even who the eyewitnesses were.Looks to me like AV1611VET has already moved well beyond Genesis 1 and the Creation Week... therefore, your argument is pointless.

Huh...what?? Who told you that? I've never heard any discussion whatsoever of Adam being the author of anything. Your basis for this statement?It was autographed by various authors; from Adam to [probably] Joseph.
OK, and as stated, the oldest creation story is dated back to the 18th century BC. So it predates the Biblical creation story.If you want to use that logic, let's just go with 1611 and be done with it.
Again, your basis for this statement? All indications point to Moses being the sole author of Genesis.Noah would have autographed Genesis 6 - 9.
I'm still not seeing your point, sorry.I didn't mean Nimrod wrote the Epic of Gilgamesh, I meant Nimrod built Sumeria.
