Examining the Bible: Genesis, Part IV

In Genesis 6:14-21, god details his plans for saving Noah and his family from the flood that he plans on using to destroy every living thing on the Earth.  As usual, I have several problems with this story and I'll discuss them all in detail.  Let's begin!

Genesis 6:9-22 tells the story of Noah and the events leading up to the Great Flood. As usual, I have problems with this story and I'd love to tell you what they are. Let's get started, shall we?

Moving on to Genesis 4, we learn about Adam and Eve's two sons: Cain and Abel. As if the story of the "fall of man" didn't seem like it was written by an underachieving sixth-grader, we're now going to dumb things down so all you fourth-graders out there have something to read. As expected, this story has problems and I'll tell you exactly what some of them are.

The Christian story of the "fall of man" is a tale of magnificent power, poor decision-making skills, cunning linguists, and problems...lots and lots of problems.  I'll give you the ones that immediately spring to mind.  This takes into account the literature from the Bible in Genesis 1:26-31Genesis 2, and Genesis 3:1-19.
