If you don’t accept Genesis as the word of God, fine, believe whatever you want. But that’s it. Dismiss God and get on with your argument.To hold that you understand rationality at the level of God and see illogic in scripture and use it to buttress a point is ridiculous .God at the point of Creation expected sin. Only the time in The Garden was without sin. At the time of Noah God “repented” of ever creating man. Not because they were sinners but because He apparently deemed them hopeless. (What with that power to see across time).Whatever He was seeing is so far outside our abilities as to be funny. God knew from the start that man would in the end fall to evil and require His intervention. As far as I can tell, in the end, the good guys don’t win. Evil is and was always in business.
The parallels in Genesis even before the fall, are clearly evident.
Genesis 2 “and the world was void” The Hebrew translation it reads the world “became” void. Does that not explain a catastrophic event of the third magnitude? Of course it does.
Just as the word yom which is translated erroneously in Genesis as day, (as in a 24-hour day), is also translated in the Hebrew as “era” but you will never convince mainstream religionists that it was probably meant to be “era” and the error of the translators has resulted in the erroneous “established” time line on the subject.
Another call out in Genesis would be in on whatever day the grasses appeared, paleo-botanists have long established that “suddenly without warning” the the grasses appeared. An amazing correlation.
