Another good one...

Which came first? People or animals?

Genesis 1: Animals came first. (7 day creation)

Genesis 2: Man came first, then animals, then when God figured out animals weren't good companions, he created Eve. (not 7 day creation)

The reason for this is Genesis 1 is the Elohist creation myth and Genesis 2 is the Yahwist creation myth.

But try telling that to evangelicals.

On Day 1 God created light

On Day 2 God created earth

On Day 4 God created the sun

Okay. On day 1 what was the source of light? It wasn't the sun.

On Day 4 the sun was created, but how was there 3 days before that? You can't have a day without a day/night cycle the sun is responsible for.

That's easy though since it says elsewhere in the Bible that God is the light source.

So god got lit, created the Earth, then created plants, then created the sun, then let the sun take over light duties.

I guess this means light from God also causes photosynthesis?

Of course it also cites the moon as being a light source when it's just reflecting the sun...

So why did God make light on day 1? Did he need it to see what he was doing? Maybe the light was a head-lamp. If he was so smart wouldn't he just make the suns first? Seems redundant.
