Why would they take time to write all that shit with their fucking dipping-ink (probably developed the worst arthritis ever lmao.) Just to tell a fake story? There's something missing.. I feel like it's in front of us, but we can't grasp it. Idk it's weird to me, but this thread is interesting. I'm learning a lot.

@Obey, the bible was nothing but a collective work of literary fiction. It was written for the same reason that authors(s/o @RULE) spend countless hours writing to this day. For the interest, and entertainment of a societal structure. Also, it is not the place of religion to control the masses, it is the place of the church to control the masses through an irrational belief in a religious system. The church SPECIFICALLY chose the stories included in the bible by hand.

But there's different accounts of the Bible from different times, almost the same thing.

Yeah, but.. how many explosions to create the universe can their be lol?

So, someone read someone else's work, and incorporated it into their own? Haven't you seen the Sherlock adaptations. Different times, same generically based story.

Let's list a few "things" a dog, for instance, is a thing. Is a dog capable of creating? A tree is a thing. Is a tree capable of creating? The act of creating in itself, inherently implies an anthropomorphism, as previously stated.

Also, as a side note, @Obey, the earth's formation has been answered by science.

You haven't proved the act or creating implies an anthropomorphism.

A 6 year old kid could make you look silly saying...

A bird builds a nest
Bees build honeycombs

No clue, 1 maybe. An infinite amount. We don't know how far this shit goes back, maybe eventually the universe stops expanding and collapses on itself. Maybe a new one is born from that. Maybe it's happened over and over again. Maybe it never happened and what we perceive as reality is anything but. Couldn't tell you honestly but I believe we arent the only intelligent life in the universe. The odds of that just don't add up. Read a real good article about why we will never know though, I'll try and find it.

Not an article, a Reddit post but an extremely valid one.
