I said the exact same thing while I was studying Evolution in secondary school. The evolutionary pattern of living things and the story of creation are quite similar. From invertebrates, to fishes (aquatic creatures), to amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals (land/air creatures) and finally man.
Religionists and evolutionists have finally found a common ground!

It is because our Geography Teachers don't like Geography.

This discovery is not new to special people like us. Even without being in any school, the All-knowing and the Creator of the Universe never left us in the dark from the scratch.


Genesis 1:2 (KJV)
"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters"

Genesis 1:2 Amplified Bible (AMP)
"The earth was [a]formless and void or a waste and emptiness, and darkness was upon the face of the deep [primeval ocean that covered the unformed earth]. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters"

Halleluyah!

The first five book of the bible is called tanakh not the Bible.
Judaism doesn't believe in trinity (jesus).


The bible literally means collection of books.

And do you guys know there are thousands of religion and some of them may have also written about this story?

xquire:
if only equal devotion and attention could be given to sea exploration just like space exploration...science would've record more milestone and breakthrough, i strongly believe all all the answers we need is down there in the deep seas...

the bible holds account of the destruction of the earth by water, which means all aquatic biology was preserved during this period and we were meant to understand by archeological findings that human beings that existed that time were super humans (thats explains the technology of Noah's ark and his ability to gather all animals in two).

Just imagine for a second the kind of power this aquatic life have preserved through this period and still in existence...the powers and knowledge these biological enclave in the seas holds could change the way we perceive life on earth.

Excellent thought! Billions of dollars are being spent by the world's richest on space exploration when we share borders with vast unexplored water bodies!

According to evolutionary.science, humans evolved from rodent like creatures that arose some 65-70 million years ago.

And the rest rodents have refused to turn to human beings since.

Sit down there and allow science to pack lies give chop.

Rodents turn to humans and rest rodents refused to turn into humans ever since.

Which of the religions are you talking of? Is it the Judeo-Christian one? If yes, then barely one chapter later in their holy book, it had already started disagreeing with science.

By the time you get to Noah's ark and the flood story, both have already gone their separate ways.

Don't force it. Just let science be what it is, knowledge based on facts gathered through observation and experimentation and let the Bible stories be what they are, a moral guide for its adherents. Don't try to marry both of them forcefully as it will only end up exposing inconsistencies that lie within the Bible.


I will not let you go so easily.

Please enlighten us about the inconsistency of the flood and science.

Thank you.

The Atheists won't see this and know they are just been stubborn upon nothing. This is the time you won't hear anything from their mouths.

They deceive themselves trying to be wiser than their maker.

One day their eyes go clear.

They Rely solely on what Science tells them.

Now Science is confirming Biblical account, they shamefully hide their faces.

Time will tell
1. Atheism is not equal to science. Atheism is not science. They are many atheists who don't have interests or even know much about science. They just lack the belief that your god exists, shikena! You have not given them any concrete proof either.

2. It's quite tiresome arguing over the same thing on Nairaland that is glaring and ridiculous as "science is confirming biblical account, they shamefully hide their faces!" I can give you one or two verses in the same chapter 1 of Genesis that totally contradicts science. By the time we start picking these contradictions one by one till we get to a virgin giving birth without sexual intercourse in the New Testament, it could take more than a day. No one has time for such time wasting ventures again. Atheists are better off allowing you to bask in the glory of your ignorance that atheists don't want to engage anyone. It's a win-win for both parties grin .

Good question. Except the Earth is not a close system in a strictly thermodynamic science. It is merely assumed to be. The Universe is what better describes a close system and not the Earth. In fact, the mere fact that the Earth gets irradiated everyday by solar energy from the Sun (which is outside of the Earth) is the easiest proof that the Earth is not a close system. In a close system, energy is supposed to be religiously conserved: no energy gain and no energy loss.

If the Universe is indeed proven to be the only time-space that exists, then the Universe is the one that is a close system. I think the Earth is an open system even though thermodynamics law are pretty much relevant even at its level. But, it is not a perfect close system.

But you're right. That's the first question that came to my mind as well. Where exactly did the water go? Such huge body of water that must have submerged the highest ancient mountains. I am really curious to read the explanation for that.

The Bible said it that in their wisdom they became foolish..in their desperate bid to deny the Creator they will cling unto even the most illogical and stupid of all things...and they ironically claim to be the ones with the most logic driven mind.

@FuckThaMod

Some part of the waters became the sky/firmament.


And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

JuanDeDios:

The Genesis account does appear to contain some insights. However, it does contain a few errors, and the timeline is only one of them. I don't think Ps 90:4 applies to the Genesis creation story because Genesis specifically says the days were literal.

No sir, it isn't literal. Genesis was written by Moses, who as a prophet, was allowed a peek into the past in his encounter with God and he wrote down what he saw.

Moses was not born in Genesis times. He was not there. He is a prophet. Many times prophecy is not literal. It's a lot like John in the book of Revelation writing about heaven and the future. He is writing about something his mind cannot fathom and so speaks mostly in metaphors. Same thing with Nostradamus writings - mostly metaphors. It is the same with Moses' writing in Genesis.

Well, here's what Genesis actually says:
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

Yet you say we should jettison the actual acount for a pre-reasoned interpretation that "day" here isn't literal. Well, I guess that's one way of looking at things - interpreting instead of reading.

But answer this then. God made Adam on the 6th day (which is 1,000 years). God blessed Adam on the seventh day, his rest day, (which is another 1,000 years). God later took things further and made a woman for Adam - presumably on the eighth day because nothing suggests the seventh haden't ended. So how come Adam lived for only 930 years?

Many creation stories begin with an earth covered in water.

Even the Yoruba creation story begins with an earth covered in water. Oduduwa comes down with a chain, pours sand, and a chicken spreads the sand around to create land.

If you are Bible scholar you would know better.

The 6 days of God is not the six days of man. God revealed the creation process to the writer according to the level of understanding of humans. So that that it would be easier for the writer and we the readers to comprehend.

You see
The heavenly being are on a higher Spiritual plane so their timing and calculation are different from ours.

Our years are like seconds or minutes to them.

For example when we live up to 90-100 years we are glad as we see it as a long time of life. But to them it may be like some minutes. Because of the difference in Spiritual timing.

Another example Science claims the life span of Mosquitos is 7days or so (I am not sure)
In their world those seven days will look like years because our plane is different from theirs .

The Bible has made it clear that a day in the sight of God is like a thousand years of Man.

Now Notice the word LIKE , it didn't say a day IS a thousand years.

It simply means a day of God is several years of man.

It could be a million , a billion etc.

So, What so ever Science is claiming in this issue is still in line with the Story of Creation of the Bible.

Let's start with the ark. How is it scientifically possible for the ark to have contained all the animals in the world given that it is hardly as big as the titanic?
What did the carnivorous animals on board feed on? What about termites that love wood, what were they feeding on? So how did Noah and his three sons manage to cut huge logs of wood and transport to the ark building site? So many questions to ask but don't wish to waste my time on it as this has been trashed countless times on Nairaland.
