Genesis is a wonderful story of the CREATION of 'our' planet on all things on it.
This is very often referred to as the 'Creation Myth' - This is no myth, if you have read scientific books on pre-history then you will find what is written
here confirms this. Just remember that scientific fact has confirmed the Creation Story which was written thousands of years before your
books.
Our planet is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Modern man has only been here for approximately 200,000 years.
If we take the Biblical time line using Adam and Eve then the planet is only 6,000 years old, which we know isn't true.
There are still some people who have been so indoctrinated by 'Religious Dogma' that they cannot accept that dinosaurs actually existed and think they have been made up by atheists.
Adam and Eve, one man and one woman!, were created by God in the Garden of Eden.
They bore two sons, Cain and Abel, as we all know Cain killed Abel in a fit of jealousy. God's punishment was to exile Cain from the Garden of Eden, God then placed a mark on Cain's forehead so no one would kill him......Just who was it that would kill him outside of the Garden of Eden if the only two humans left were Adam and Eve?
The Bible also states that in exile Cain married and had children.....Where did his wife come from?
(To be fair there was probably a problem with translation, but we will still find a lot of the Bible has been deliberately manipulated to
fit a certain agenda).

God and His 7 Day Wonder
Don't look at this as actually 7 days , think more in the term of 7 ages.
The first thing we have to consider is the 'War of the Angels' instigated by Lucifer, this war started in the 'Heavens' and spilled over on to the earth. The war was so devastating that it encompassed the entire planet and caused mass exterminations of all land animals and plants.
This war plunged the planet into what we would call today a 'Nuclear Winter'.
The planet was rapidly covered in ice and snow, the suns heat was unable to penetrate the thick clouds of dust that had enveloped the entire Earth. Only the marine animals that lived deep in the oceans were able to survive.
God had to intervene before the earth was laid waste forever.
It's at this point we see where the start of Genesis has been lost in translation.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth.
Genesis 1:2 And it came to pass that the Earth became a wasteland, empty and chaotic, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
It's at this point that 'our' earth was NOT created but transformed - Look at Genesis 1:2 again - It came to pass that the Earth became a wasteland].
God would not have created a wasteland, the earth was already in existence, but it had been devastated by the war of the angels.
GOD RESTORED THE EARTH. What we would call 'Terraforming '.
Genesis 1:1 God created the Earth, millions if not billions of years, before Genesis 1:2, we know this is true because of the dinosaurs, they would have required this time to grow and flourish, as we know they did, the War of the Angels was probably the single primary factor in the extinction of the dinosaurs. We also know that this was a sudden and cataclysmic event as Woolly Mammoths have been found with grass in their mouths, they were eating the instant they were killed and frozen in time.
Putting all this into context the Bible and science are bound together NOT opposing one another.
Look again at Genesis 1:1 the Earth already existed - Genesis 1:2, this is when God saw the devastation of the Earth caused by the War of the Angels, and He started restoring the Earth (Terraforming).
Day 1 - Genesis 1:2 God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light day and the darkness night.
(He cleared the atmosphere enough for the sunlight to reach the earth).
Day 2 - Genesis 1:6 And God said let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters (clouds). And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
(The earth's temperature was so cold, God had to warm the sea and land up to melt the ice, which allowed the clouds to lift away from the seas and land. 'Separating Earth from the heavens'.
Day 3 - Genesis 1:10 Dry land and plants appear: And God called the dry land Earth and the gathering together of the waters He called the seas: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis
1:11 - And God said, let the earth bring
forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself upon the Earth: and it was so.
(Before God could put animals on the Earth it had to be replanted with 'food' so the animals could eat).
Day 4 - Genesis 1:4-19 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night: and let them be for the signs, and for the seasons, and for the days, and the years: And let them be for the lights of the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day: and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars also, and God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the Earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: And God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the forth day.
(God created two great lights - the Sun and the Moon - Many say that the sun and moon
were in place before the Earth and YES they were.
Lets take a look at the logical sequence of events.
God did NOT make the sun and moon after the Earth, they already existed, He cleared the atmosphere of the pollution, once the sky was clear the sun, moon and
stars could once again be seen , so science and the Bible DO NOT differ over the stated events.
Day 5 - Genesis 1:20-23 Fish and Birds RESTORED: And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the Earth in the open firmament of the heaven. And God created the great whale and every living creature that moveth in the water did He create. And every winged fowl after his kind did God place for his pleasure. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Day 6 - Genesis 1:24-27 Animals and mankind RESTORED: And God said, let the Earth bring forth the living creature after his kind and it was so. And God made the beast of the Earth after his kind, and the cattle after his kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the Earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said let US make man in OUR image, after OUR LIKENESS: and let THEM have dominion over the fish of the seas, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all of the Earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him, male and female created HE them.
(Here we have another problem with the translation, misinterpretation, which has turned into deception of the word of God, in the original Hebrew God is in the plural form, in other words, men and women were made in 'OUR' image, both the Jewish and Christian religions were originally polytheistic, which you will see in the teachings of Christ).
Recap: Now we have looked at Genesis with the blinkers off, we can see that Genesis 1:2 is NOT about the Earth being created, but being repaired/renewed/restored after the devastating War of the Angels.
Day 7 - Genesis 2:1-3 God rests: Thus the heavens and the Earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended His work which he had made: and he rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
(With Day 7 we can also see that the '7th Day of Rest' has nothing to do with Moses. The Sabbath was set in place many, many years before organised religion, unfortunately most people today do not observe the Sabbath in keeping with Gods law, the 'Spiritual' leader (the POPE) of the planet has taken over the hearts of men and women, but they don't even know it, he has had plenty of help with that, which we will discuss in the 'Roman Catholic Church'.
With all things in nature there has to be balance, the scale has to be level, when you take away from
one side the scale is no longer level and imbalance is the result. The result in religion has been to deny ONE HALF of humanity ANY religious and human rights.
What is truly amazing is that ANYBODY would willing belong to an institution that only grudgingly admits that they even exist!!!
So lets have a look at how from the very beginning MEN decided that WOMEN must be made INFERIOR and imbalance was put into effect.
In Genesis there are two versions on the creation of Adam and Eve, lets go with the LATER version that nearly everyone is familiar with first:
GENESIS 2:21-22 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib that the Lord God had taken from man, made He a woman. and brought her unto the man.
(For those readers who are not doctors or skipped biology classes at school, NO men DO NOT have one less rib than women, EACH has 12 pairs of ribs as do ALL mammals).
Now lets look at the earlier ORIGINAL version that very few people have ever heard of:
GENESIS 1:26-27 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 of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. - (Also notice the PLURAL - US - OUR - THEM)
God created MEN and WOMEN on an equal basis -- IN BALANCE
Going back to the later version of Genesis 2:21-22 why would God make male and female of fish of the sea, fowl of the air and animals on land and then 'FORGET' to make male and female humans at the same time, and only making the female human as an afterthought, doesn't make much sense...... Would God really have made such a a glaring oversight?
Whoever wrote the later version forgot to erase the original version - They also, of
course, didn't understand biology.
OR was the latter story of the creation of Eve from 'Adam's rib' because she wasn't the first Female?
Which would explain the 'TWO' creations of the female.
Woman COULD NOT have been made out of man - all because of a thing called MITOCHONDRIAL DNA (mtDNA) also called the EVE
GENE - This can ONLY be passed down through the MOTHER'S DNA to daughters and sons. Fathers and sons (any male of any species) do NOT pass on mtDNA.
The original version of the creation of Adam and Eve is the one that should be taught, but it doesn't meet the narrative of a male dominated religion which has denigrated women for 4,000 years - The apostate Christian Church followed the lead of the Old Testament and brought the hatred of women into the New Testament.
