re: #30 Henchman 26

But the accounts are out of order.

Oh? I just reread Genesis 1 and it seems to fit to me:

- First God created the Sun and Moon, then He separated the oceans from the sky, then He created land, then He added vegetation, then He added living creatures and finally He added man.

Now I can understand that from an astronomy standpoint the land would probably come before the ocean (to name one example of things being “out of order”). I only said the Genesis events represent a progression, nothing more. There need not necessarily be any scientific basis for that progression.

Regardless this doesn’t change my central point which is the events themselves are the most important part of the account, not the order or time frame in which they occur.
