waters or ground?

waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that
may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged

Odd
genetic engineering
GEN 30:39 And the flocks
conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and
spotted.
The shape
of the earth
ISA 40:22 It is he that sitteth
upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers;
that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent
to dwell in:
MAT 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Astromical bodies are spherical, and you cannot see the entire
exterior surface from anyplace. The kingdoms of Egypt, China, Greece, Crete,
sections of Asia Minor, India, Maya (in Mexico), Carthage (North Africa), Rome
(Italy), Korea, and other settlements from these kingdoms of the world were
widely distributed.
Snakes,
while built low, do not eat dirt
GEN 3:14 And the LORD God said
unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle,
and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt
thou eat all the days of thy life:
Earth
supported?
JOB 26:7 He stretcheth out the
north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

declare, if thou hast understanding.

hydrological cycle

the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come,
thither they return again.

hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Storehouses are not part of the cycle
Order of
creation
Here is the order in the first
(Genesis 1), the Priestly tradition:
Day 1: Sky, Earth, light
Day 2: Water, both in ocean basins and above the sky(!)
Day 3: Plants
Day 4: Sun, Moon, stars (as calendrical and navigational aids)
Day 5: Sea monsters (whales), fish, birds, land animals, creepy-crawlies
(reptiles, insects, etc.)
Day 6: Humans (apparently both sexes at the same time)
Day 7: Nothing (the Gods took the first day off anyone ever did)
Note that there are "days", "evenings", and
"mornings" before the Sun was created. Here, the Deity is referred to
as "Elohim", which is a plural, thus the literal translation,
"the Gods". In this tale, the Gods seem satisfied with what they have
done, saying after each step that "it was good".
The second one (Genesis 2), the Yahwist tradition, goes:
Earth and heavens (misty)
Adam, the first man (on a desolate Earth)
Plants
Animals
Eve, the first woman (from Adam's rib)
How orderly were things created?
#1: Step-by-step. The only discrepancy is that there is no Sun or Moon or stars
on the first three "days".
#2: God fixes things up as he goes. The first man is lonely, and is not
satisfied with animals. God finally creates a woman for him. (funny thing that
an omniscient god would forget things)
How satisfied with creation was
he?
#1: God says "it was good" after each of his labors, and rests on the
seventh day, evidently very satisfied.
#2: God has to fix up his creation as he goes, and he would certainly not be
very satisfied with the disobedience of that primordial couple. (funny thing
that an omniscient god would forget things)
Moses'
personality
Num.12:3: "Now the man
Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the fact of the
earth."
Num.31:14, 17, 18: "And Moses was wroth...And Moses said unto
them, "Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male
among the little ones, and kill every woman, ... But all the women children ...
keep alive for yourselves."
Righteous
live?
Ps.92:12: "The righteous
shall flourish like the palm tree."
Isa.57:1: "The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to
heart."
Acts 1:18: "Now this man
(Judas) purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he
burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out."
Matt. 27:5-7: "And he (Judas) cast down the pieces of silver
in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief
priests...bought with them the potter's field."
Jesus'
first sermon plain or mount?
Matt.5:1,2: "And seeing the
multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came
unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying...."
Luke6:17,20: "And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the
company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people...came to hear him..
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said..."
Jesus'
last words
Matt.27:46,50: "And about
the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama
sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the
ghost."
Luke23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he
said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said
thus, he gave up the ghost."
John19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he
said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the
ghost."

famine

David, and told him, and said unto him, shall SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE come unto
thee in thy land? or will thou flee three months before thine enemies, while
they pursue. thee?

saith the LORD, Choose thee. Either THREE YEARS OF FAMINE or three months to be

David to anger?

anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to
say, Go, number Isreal and Judah.
I CHRONICLES 21: And SATAN stood up against Isreal, and provoked
David to number Israel.
The
GENEALOGY OF JESUS?
In two places in the New
Testament the genealogy of Jesus son of Mary (PBUH) is mentioned. Matthew 1:6-16
and Luke 3:23-31. Each gives the ancestors of Joseph the CLAIMED husband of Mary
and Step father of Jesus(PBUH). The first one starts from Abraham(verse 2) all
the way down to Jesus. The second one from Jesus all the way back to Adam. The
only common name to these two lists between David and Jesus is JOSEPH, How can
this be true? and also How can Jesus have a genealogy when all Muslims and most
Christians believe that Jesus had/has no father.
