The actions of a writer or editor (events) and their resultant works (artifacts) can influence listeners or readers, leading to interpretations that may be either adequate or inadequate. Here are the possible outcomes: • Interpretation 0, Effect 0: Extrabiblical effects, artifacts, or events not measured. • Interpretation 0, Effect 1: Biblical effects, artifacts, or events ignored. • Interpretation 1, Effect 0: Extrabiblical effects, artifacts, or events measured, whether adequately or inadequately. • Interpretation 1, Effect 1: Biblical effects, artifacts, or events measured, whether adequately or inadequately.
I think most likely the first part of Genesis is meant as a poetic stage setting for Adam's story rather than to be meant to derive scientific processes.
So the bible makes numerous claims and many of them are not only true, but have been shown to be false. The Garden of Eden and the Flood are the first that are obviously fables. With that in mind how does any one differentiate between what is truthful and what is fantasy in the bible? Is there a methodology that can be applied to know what is real and what is not? If there isn't than how can anyone believe anything the bible claims? Thank you.
Nothing in the Bible has ever been controverted by archaeology, and many biblical themes have been proven. The ancient Jews didn't write myth, that's a Greek concept. The Jews wrote history.
@@davidjanbaz7728 "NOT the fiction you think it is." Are you claiming the Garden of Eden and the Flood are real and actually happened? If so there are numerous christian scholars that will disagree with you. Are you a christian scholar by the way? Good luck my friend.
@@NightShade671 "and many biblical themes have been proven." Can you prove that Jesus was divine? Do you have evidence that he was the son of god? If not why should I care what the bible claims? Good luck my friend.
@TboneWTF If Jesus rose from the dead then his teachings and claims are vindicated, because God would not raise a heretic or a liar. There is a strong case that Jesus rose. Read the relevant material of Gary Habermas, Mike Liciona, and William Lane Craig.

I don’t know exactly how God did it!

You obviously need an education on the Bible and why it's Mythohististry and NOT the fiction you think it is.
