Actually, I read a bit further and ignored the rest when it became clear that your examples of differences between the two seemed to revolve around nonsensical differences.

Too bad, I wish you had read the rest, then you wouldn't be misunderstanding me.

If the point of the thesis is that more than one human author may have contributed to Genesis there can be little doubt that you are correct. This is relevant because????

Again, it's relevant because I'm continuing a conversation I had earlier this week with people who disagree with me that the Bible was written by different authors.

Instead, your post seems more like the arguments we have heard... "here is a contradiction in scripture... therefore scripture is not authoritative" and is probably not worth additional study.

Nothing could be further from the truth. But you didn't read my entire post so how could you know that? I in NO WAY said scripture is not authoritative or not worth additional study. I believe exactly the opposite.

I see however, that you have called in some of my friends from the "Neverending Thread" who no doubt can "assist" you better than I.

I've seen this thread but don't think I've ever read it or posted on it. I sent this post to people I was having this discussion with earlier this week. In hindsite, I probably shouldn't have started a new thread. I did so in hopes of getting more people involved in discussion. Careful what you wish for.

***Another minor discrepancy: Where did the light come from, created on the first day, if the sun, moon and stars were not created until the 4th day. If you read the Bible literally, how can this make sense?

I think I can help here... from where did the matter come that God used to create the universe?
