Cancers in Genesis 03
Young Earth Creationism is an extreme form of idiocy within Christianity. Its adherents base their ridiculous ideas on a literal interpretation of a story book. In a nutshell, they claim that their Buy-Bull is without errors and that the earth was created on October 23, 4004 BCE (give or take a Sunday or two).To what extent a Young EaRth Creationists (YERC) or their pope Ken Ham, alias Can Scam can read is unclear. To make sure the YERCs at least have an idea of what their god tells them, I will quote from their Buy-Bull below. I’ll leave it to them to debate or explain why their Buy-Bull Bully is saying one thing here and the opposite there.
5. Did god create Adam before or after the animals?
“And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. “ - Genesis 1:25-26
“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.” – Genesis 2:19
4. Did god create Adam before Eve, or did he create them together?
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” – Genesis 1:27
“And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” – Genesis 2:22
3. Is god happy with his work or is he not happy with his work?
“And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good” - Genesis 1:31
“And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” - Genesis 6:6
2. Is god omnipresent and omniscient?
“Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.” - Psalm 139: 7-8
“His eyes are on the ways of mortals; he sees their every step. There is no deep shadow, no utter darkness, where evildoers can hide.” – Job 34:21-22
“[…] and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.” – Genesis 3:8
“But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.” – Genesis 11:5
“I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.” – Genesis 18:21
1. Is god cool with incest or not?
God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.” – Genesis 17: 15-16
“Abraham replied, “I said to myself, ‘There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.’ Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife.” – Genesis 20: 11-12
“Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.” - Deuteronomy 27:22
