    Either that or Genesis is just an explanation made up by a people group that had little to no idea how anything in the natural world works lol

      If you squint real hard, Genesis is a tale of stellar and planetary formation. Then comes evolution. Give the first bits a read! Yeah, evolution is mixed up a little, still surprisingly on point for a bunch of Bronze Age sheep herders.

      Then there’s a second tale, in the same short book. What a clusterfuck. But I can still see some real history in it. If I squint real hard.

        Squint so hard your eyes are closed, maybe. Any overlap between biblical verse (translated through at least two languages) and modern scientific understanding is coincidental.

        Yeah seeing as the writers of the Pentateuch didn’t even know what the stars were, I’m pretty sure that’s all a coincidence lol.
