I see your point.

Cool

While Genesis wasn't written on stone tablets the commandments reference it.

Exactly. What the Ten Commandments do is to confirm the factual basis for the story in Genesis Chapter 1. So if you are to keep the commandments, you have to accept the factual basis of the Creation account.

If there is no factual basis for the Creation story in Genesis, then that would make God a liar (and a violator of his own commandment not to bear false witness).

Did God lie?

Or are the Ten Commandments just a bunch of spiritual hokey?

Or is there a possibility that what God stated in Exodus Chapter 20 is the God's honest truth?

Is Exodus Chapter 21 God's honest truth?

Ok, you can stop pinging me on this. I said I was wrong about Genesis 1 and 2 as far as the stone tablets were concerned.

Only if you assume God wrote Exodus. You are making assumptions and then drawing conclusion on those assumptions. GIGO.
