Genesis 1-3

[wolfpurplemoon]

Only thought I've had so far (beyond the whole literal creationism=crazy thing) is that Adam just suddenly has that name after being known as 'Man' for much of Chapter 1 and 2, although it depends on the version you read, as my book doesn't mention the name until 3:17 but the SAB starts using Adam at 2:19. Adam then bestows his 'Woman' with the name Eve (3:20), wasn't that nice of him.

Not sure that this is the sort of thing to be noticing, but it's what jumped out at me as I already know the creation story and the fact that chapter 2 starts all over again with God creating everything in a different order from chapter 1!

Actually in a way the first version is better as Man and Woman are created at the same time rather than Woman being created as an after-thought to provide companionship to Adam.

You have written far more than I care to read or respond to.

But I will say that I am definitely not looking for answers or meaning through reading the bible so you would be right to point out I am not legitimately seeking. And it's not a joke to me per se but I will point out things that I find funny as I go through.

This is simply a personal challenge that I am sharing with whoever wishes to pass by and offer their perspective.
