Because all-powerful god failed to convey a simple timeline?
That is our only means of acquiring data, yes.
No, he didn't. We evolved what we call consciousness over many generations. There is no evidence of god, free will, or souls.
If you believe he made my brain and this world, yes yes he did.
That's not what the bible says. Why is the bible wrong?
Or maybe it's all bullshit and you are an intellectual and moral coward. Why couldn't god make it more clear if he meant what you interpret him to mean? How do you know your interpretation is correct when other common interpretations contradict yours?
Kids are dying for your false beliefs. More each day.
No, because historians arent God
It isn't
He did
Genesis 2:19 Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the soil all the animals of the earth and all the flying creatures of the air, brought them to Adam, in order to see what he would call them. For whatever Adam would call any living creature, that would be its name.
How do you know your interpretation of the Earth itself is correct when the flat earth theory exists?
Nor did I say that, dipshit. Focus.
If god is all-powerful, why couldn't he convey simple facts clearly through the bible he supposedly influenced? Why does it contradict itself and our reality at all?
Saying things doesn't make them true. Even if you are correct (which you are not), you have done nothing to demonstrate that.
Saying things doesn't make them true. That's all the bible is, by the way. People saying things.
You skipped the contradiction. Genesis 1 and 2 disagree about whether animals or humans were created first.
Also, the idea that animals were created for us to eat and exploit is deeply fucked. STOP DEFENDING ABUSE.
Evidence. Have you never ridden on an airplane or used a telescope? Are you seriously comparing your own beliefs to the flat earth theory? This is suicidal stupidity, and you're taking us down with you. Do better.
