So i initiated my research, i started with the fundementals , if you want to know the truth start from the roots. I walked to my bookshelf and grabbed my bible, i was actually going to read the beginning for the first time in my life. hahah not good. I opened it up and was skeptical as soon as i read the first sentence, “IN the beginning when God created the heavens and the Earth, the Earth was a formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss, while a mighty wind swept over the waters.” ( I was determined to not be biased as i opened and read the bible seeing as how i’m Roman Catholic, even though i have some weird ideas. ) Okay so i read that and said who is this God person? Where did he come from? I looked at the bible and was like wait what? The bible has two stories of creation and to me i was astounded! I had always thought that the whole creation was just something about someone named Adam and Eve and some tree. But wait!!! here i was staring at the bible with my own two eyes and after finishing reading a story of creation that i recall nothing about was surprised to see the next subheading read : Second Story of Creation. I stopped in my tracks and went into the living room to get that bible, maybe it was only mine, nope, that bible read: Another Account of the creation. I read both accounts from both bibles and was amazed. The first story is about how god wanted something done and he did it and it was good, he wanted something else done, it was done and it was good, and how the earth , sky and waters came first and then man and woman. How he just wanted everything and it appeared, and how it took him a total of 7 days to create the world including the 7th day, or the sabbath in which he rested and rejoiced that the world was finished. I sat there staring blankly at the scripture…. what? was all i could think about. I read the second story ah, it was more familiar A wonderful hill filled with trees including the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A man was placed in this hill and commanded by God to eat anything except for a fruit form that tree. God thought that man was lonely and thus he decided to make a companion for man. So he made animals, man named all of them but there was no partner for him. God put this man into a deep slumber and while he slept took one of his ribs , closed the hole with flesh, and created woman from that hijacked rib. ( That’s a bit creepy isn’t it?) Man agreed that since it was of his bones an flesh that woman was the true partner, and thats why in marriage they become one. They hugged and all was well until they were tempted by a serpent to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil . Woman took a fruit and fed it to her husband. They realized they were naked and hid from god, they wereashame dof themselves. God got angry made childbearing difficult, made the serpent slither, and man was forced to work in hard streneous labor. They were told : “by the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust and to dust you shall return” Then he kicked Adam and Eve out of the hill. OUCH, i thought, i never really knew all the details,… I continued reading and found out that these people had children and those people had children , and then came NOah and what not, everything that i thought i knew expanded like a balloon with increasing atmospheric pressure. WOW… i decided to take a break and check out some science….
