The origin of the Bible is in stories passed down from someone who claimed to have been informed by "God".

I do NOT claim they were correct or accurate, but IF they had been told the 2010CE version in 2010BCE, I suspect that ( with the translation of photon to light) "God said…" would have been what they got out of it.

++ I ++ do not claim that creationism is CORRECT: ONLY that there can be an argument made that it represents the best explanation AT THE TIME, based on what they knew. Is today's science any more than that?





" How did the author of Genesis obtain accurate knowledge,in the language of his or anyone else's time, of this kind of data."

AT THE TIME, to get the word of an oracle, or "hear God", would have been an accepted means of determining "truth". I MAKE NO CLAIMS as to the accuracy of what they heard, or interpreted.


AS I STATED, to believe in Creationism TODAY based on the present Bible, rather than the far more accurate ( but still imperfect) scientifically determined facts of the universe ( God's Word) is to believe in the word of Man( the translation of the interpreted memories of someone trying to understand more than they can comprehend) over the word of God( (The facts as far as we can determine them).
