Bible Discussion Thread

Hello!

This is your friendly Atheist dropping in to ask a few questions... I had a revelation today and needed the Bible for a reference. Specifically Genesis. The "Creation" story.

Now, as a "free" thinker, you should all be able to wrap your heads around the idea that Genesis looks to be written out of order. Seriously. The universe, the stars, and the Sun would all have had to be "made" before the Earth its self. We know for a fact that the Sun gives us our light source and that with out it it would be very very dark, (and cold). Believing that the earth was created before the Sun is just plain gullibility. Not only that, but plant life was supposedly made before the creation of the Sun. Seriously? I'm also not seeing any references to the "creation" of the atmosphere, oxygen/air, or the magnetic poles, the massive molten core of the Earth, nor any mention of elements and other "specifics" that science has answered.

Please, take a step back and look at this logically, from a scientific view. Analyze and use what we know as basic fact to see the flaws in this, and that it was written by man to gain power over an ignorant people in a time when most people were uneducated and believed just about anything that gave them answers.

"Friendly' Most non-believers I know actually all of them I know personally have had serious tragic painful experiences. Difficult situations that most people have not had to endure, therefore the basic answers from many people are not sufficient. Religious arguments don't heal injustice, pain, suffering or the like.
What's amazing is God hates hypocrisy too.
Matthew 25:32 -46
Jesus was a light to the world, a healer, helper, & loved us all so much that He endured beating , people spitting in His face, plucking His beard, cruel mockings & crucifixion for us all. Psalms 22 is prophetic to what Jesus would suffer before His birth
History has documented this outside of the Bible also
