Here is your problem: If God did indeed create the universe as described, then He can not be modeled within that universe. You can't apply the physical constraints of time, space, even cause and effect to God.

I don't believe God created the universe as described. I believe the creation story is a myth that helped people understand the beginning of time, the world, and human kind. Of course you can't apply physical contraints to God. The one thing I DO KNOW about God is that he is beyond my comprehension and beyond the comprehension of any mortal.

This is arrogant. How do you know how God created the universe ? In addition, if you agree that the bible was inspired by God and if God is all powerfull, why would he let his story be told in error ?

Are you sure you understand Genesis 1 and 2 fully ? Are you sure you understand just how the world was created ? Even scientists are not sure but you know better ?

Humble yourself and you will do much better at your bible studies.

If you believe the bible is a collection of myths and fables, how do you know anything about God? If you believe the bible is a book of myths, then you either believe God had nothing to do with it, or you believe that God is a liar.

Which is it?

I have a very similar view as you about the bible. It is amazing to me how the fundamentalists reduce God down to something of a fire breathing Zeus-like character that sits in a throne in heaven and is consumed by damning and praising people here on earth. My belief is that God is an infinite mind and of infinite existence that is, yes, well beyond our comprehension.
