If I, as a Bible believing Christian, listen to the Bible hating, atheist, and non-Christian speaker, I find that they usually take some very silly, superficial, and even made-up opinions on what Genesis says concerning the creation of the Universe, and push it as the true and correct narrative. These people are really either, too comfortable and lazy to go and read the Bible for themselves, or due to their poor investigative methods, unable to grasp the simplest of explanations from the Bible.
But fight for their narrative, they will. I will prove this statement in this thread, because when I will be done, you will see many Bible attackers continue to fight with hair-splitting semantics.
I will put it in one question (as it was framed by Zakir Naik in 2000)
“If the God of the Bible was unable to explain how He created the Universe, how can we trust anything else He said?”
And this was what drove me to investigate for myself when I wanted to make fools of the Christian, their God, and their Bible.
The questions posed by the Atheist, and copied by the Muslim in their vigorous proselyting, was:
1. How was it possible that God created the Earth before the Sun, Moon and stars if the Bible say they were created on the 4th day, when science today knows that the Sun and Stars are part of the Universe and was created before the Earth.
2. Why does the Bible say everything was created in 6 days (6 000 years ago), when science today knows that the universe took billions of years to take its’ current shape?
3. If Christians believe these ‘Days” in Genesis to be thousands of years each, they will have to explain how plant life survived from day 3 to day 4 without any sunlight?
I loved these questions, and I was so sure this will be my evidence to proving the Biblical God as erroneous in science, and a mythological idea.
Every time I see a new thread opened by the atheist on this topic, I can only shake my head in disbelief. Not to the person who posts these allegations, but to myself for the reasons to why I needed to know what the atheist wanted me to belief. I soooo much needed their observations to be true!!!
I needed their evidence that the Bible was at fault…
So that I could soothe my conscience with “evidence” that my atheism was solidly on a foundation of “Science”.
Well, it took me about 3 weeks to lose that fight!
So, Lets see what I found!
The Bible say:
1. In the beginning God created the Heavens and Earth.
2. The Earth was without shape, empty, and it was a dark and wet collection where the Spirit of God hovered above.
3. Then God said “Let there be Light!”, and it was evening and morning. Day 1.
4. Then God divided waters above a “Firmament”, from waters below this firmament. Day 2.
5. God then separated Land and Sea and made plant life. Day 3.
6. God made the great and lesser light to be signs of time, seasons etc. Day 4.
7. God made animals in the ocean and Birds that could fly. Day 5.
8. God made Land animals, and Man. Day 6.
Now, before we look at this description on what Genesis says God did, it is important to agree that the above summary is correct.
I will give a few hours to allow anyone to correct me if they disagree.
