And does Genesis square with science? Nope.

Really, exactly where in Genesis does it conflict with science, note I said science not evolution, there is a difference.

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth".
 

There are some questions about this translation. The original Hebrew word usually translated as "God" here is elohim, which is actually the plural form. Literally, this verse reads, "in the beginning, the GODS created the heavens and the earth." This is one of several places in the Bible where God is referred to in the plural. Biblical scholars conclude that these fragments are left over from an early part of Hebrew history when the Jewish religion was, like every other religion on earth at the time, polytheistic, with more than one god. During this time, the god Yahweh was a storm god, one of many others.
 
 
 
DUH!
 

What part of 'US' is unclear????
 
Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
 

Biblical scholars = what??
 
Non-trinitarians, obviously!
