Biblical Plagarism: Creation of the earth

[drifteri]

Creation of the earth: A pattern of events

The biblical story is Semitic and comes to us from semitic sources. This blurs the lines between the Sumerian gods Enlil and An. Both gods were called El, and it is from this word that we get Elohim. (See: Elohim)

The world was created six days with one day for rest. Seven is a holy number in Sumerian numerology. There were seven gods who decree fate, and seven gates to the underworld. The number seven can be seen at all levels of Sumerian Mythology.

In the bible, Elohim moved over the deep to create the universe. In Sumerian mythology the universe was created out of the deep. Likewise, in the bible the heavens were separated from the earth by Elohim. In some creation stories the Ki and An were separated by Enlil.

The second, somewhat conflicting, myth of the creation of the earth comes in Genesis 2:4 where the waters are made to flow upon the earth. This can be seen as being remarkably similar to the creation myth of Enlil's creation of the hoe. In it the rivers are made to flow over the land in much the same way as is presented in Genesis 2:6.

Commonly Christians argue that these myths simply show that the myths only show that pagans have twisted the myths over time, and that the biblical versions are the original unaltered truth. Texts in the bible telling who wrote it and where they came from tell another story. These biblical texts are backed up by historical records and Scientific dating that tells that the biblical stories were indeed written later.

For the atheist the universe simply made itself, and caused itself to exist from absolutely nothing. This is much much more problematic than the problem he thinks the Bible has. LOL!

For su your El is our Al

The Biblical record of how the world was created has been the one and only account of creation by a supreme being who is none other than God the Almigthy. There are no other known writings before this. The earliest writings or civilisations, whether Egyptian or Chinese have not been able to disapprove the Bible records. In fact they tend to substantiate the Biblical records!

Yes, concocted Elah is also concocted Allah. Praise the oneness and wholesome of AL.

Yes, the biblical is the oldest writing in the history of existence of the world around 10,000 years. The writers have a true view of the shape of the earth 'cos they were inspired. There is a part about the Almighty God having a great fetish for foreskin. Praise the almighty God, he created you a fat turd in his image.

"The number seven can be seen at all levels of Sumerian Mythology".

I beg to differ. SEVEN signifies perfection both in the religious writing and in non-religious writing. We see SEVEN as "Perfect Number" in many places in the Bible and also in other ancient religious articles/materials.

However, we can also find SEVEN embedded in non-religious articles. For example, there are 7 colours in a rainbow, 7 notes in a music octave, 7 continents in the globe, and only 7 planets of our solar system are visible to the naked eyes (although there are 9 planets in total). In biology, most gestation periods of animals are divisible by 7. For example in human being, the gestation period is 9 months (or 270 days and this is divisible by 7; and also the same for many other animals which have gestation period that is divisible by 7.

Have a blessed week ahead.
