First or Last ...?

[StuartJ]

In the first biblical creation myth, the ancient Canaanite Elohim gods created unspecified numbers of male and female humans as miniature replicas of themselves. They were the Adam Family. The Adam Family were the very LAST thing created

In the second biblical creation myth, the newer (and possibly not even Jewish) Yahweh Elohim god created the mud-man Adam as the very FIRST living thing - and then created animals as a potential wife for him, before finally creating Eve from one of his ribs.

This contradiction in the myths is WAY too large to be a scribal error ...

And through smoke and mirrors of the "apologetics" excuses, I can't see poetry or philosophy or psychology.

Did the Holy Ghost inspire the writing of a glaring contradiction, or do we perhaps have two sequential creation mythologies concerning two very human versions of "God" ...?

Actually, if we would be literal and not intentionally ignorant straw man debaters, Genesis 2 speaks how Yahweh forms things, not creates. But perhaps that is not what we want, so instead I just say, Genesis 1 tells the big picture and Genesis 2 tells details. They are not contradictory, unless own interpretations and misunderstandings are added and truth ignored.

I have no incentive to express my opinion about this when I am already relegated to the smoke and mirrors flim flam apologetics group.

Have fun with this new meeting of the atheist's support group...
