If Steven was right about this, (forgeries in the bible) then that puts the
deathknell on Intelligent design, and the need for a God. Evolution withall its
problems, (what science doesn't have those) becomes a logical reality.
Of course I deny and do not accept what Steven says. The original script of the
entire Bible as cannonised, by Jesus when He promised the Holy Ghost to the
councils of the Apostles, is the word of God, and protected from error. That
protection does NOT carry over to the uncountable varieties available today, in
a world where the earthly authority charged with defending and protecting this
truth has absconded and is negligent of that duty.
Hence the confusion, and the impending doom that seems to be engulfing the
entire world politically and morally.
Philip.

Leading scholars generally agree that Genesis chapter one was written by a
different author than chapter two. The first chapter I believe is far more
authentic as possibly being the word of Almighty God than two, which appears to
be a forgery and written by Adam.
Problems with chapter two appear in many places, for example, are we really
supposed to believe that God who created all of this intelligent design and
many species with both a male and female kind would not have created a woman
from the beginning or not have the foresight to notice that beasts of the field
were not suitable partners for Adam? (Genesis 2:18-20) This story is quite
simply preposterous and in total disharmony with chapter one, which quite
simply states that God made both man and woman from the beginning. (Genesis
1:27). The KJV in this instance uses the word "man" for "humankind".
The reality of course, is that we have both man and woman created from the
outset, both equal but with different qualities and perspectives. My apologies
to those truly orthodox among you if this is all a bit of a surprise, but I'm
very thankful God has opened my eyes on this issue, because I stupidly believed
at one time in mans superiority over the woman, and I suppose much of this view
could have been fueled by the very devious and misogynistic ramblings of none
other than Paul (or Saul of Tarsus). Incidentally, most Christians conveniently
forget some of those "harder to in-force" nonsense rules governing the church
laid down by him. (1 Cor 11:7, 14:34 to name but two).
In conclusion, I've shown that chapter one clearly records both men and
woman being created at the same time, and that God was also fully aware (of
course) of what was being created. Man and woman, created for the glory of God
or God's good pleasure as with the entire creation, having together different
aspects of the divine. Not woman for the man, not man for the woman, but unity.
Amen.
Warmest Wishes,
Steven.
