    Either that or Genesis is just an explanation made up by a people group that had little to no idea how anything in the natural world works lol

      If you squint real hard, Genesis is a tale of stellar and planetary formation. Then comes evolution. Give the first bits a read! Yeah, evolution is mixed up a little, still surprisingly on point for a bunch of Bronze Age sheep herders.

      Then there’s a second tale, in the same short book. What a clusterfuck. But I can still see some real history in it. If I squint real hard.

        Yeah seeing as the writers of the Pentateuch didn’t even know what the stars were, I’m pretty sure that’s all a coincidence lol.
