Subject: RE: BS: Is there any merit to creationism?
1) Even the EARLIEST written copies were 1. written down long after the original enlightenment by God of the original person 2. filtered throughout the understanding and language of a specific people and culture.

Er - no. It was ALL MADE UP BY HUMAN BEINGS. As was GOD. We made it all up for comfort in the darkness of our ignorance because that's what human beings do. When we don't know, we tell stories. When we do know, we consign the stories to mythology.

2) Both say the same thing, WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS OF THE LANGUAGE OF THE TIME.

What idiocy is this? They DO NOT say the same thing at all. One is a made up story about a fictitious creator. The other is an interpretation of available scientific data in which there is no creator, nor any need of one. All Gods and religions are inventions of human culture. Science is the discovery of universal truth. Best not confuse the two.
