Scholars know that the first five books of the Bible were derived from multiple sources.  We know this because the Bible often preserves two or more stories that tell the same event.  For example, the story of Hagar is told twice in the Bible – once in Genesis 16, which calls God Yahweh, the signature of The Yahwist Narrative; and again in Genesis 21 which calls God Elohim, the signature of The Elohist Traditions.  The story of Abraham giving his wife to another man is also told twice – the Yahwist version in Genesis 12 and the Elohist in Genesis 20.  The story of God's warning to Balaam is also told twice – the Yahwist version in Numbers 22:22-35 and the Elohist in Numbers 22:9-12.

 

Differing more than merely on the names for God, there are minute details which establish the Yahwist and Elohist versions as two as separate texts.  Moses' father-in-law has two different names – he is called Reuel in the Yahwist version and Jethro in the Elohist version.[1]  Likewise, the mountain on which the Ten Commandments are given has two different names – it is called Sinai in the Yahwist version and Horeb in the Elohist version.[2]  In Genesis 29:31-30:24, we can see that the progenitors of the southern tribes are associated with Yahweh (the LORD), but the progenitors of the northern tribes are associated with Elohim (God).

Return to this section's landing page:  Genesis 1 is a forgery.

The creationist narrative in Genesis 1 is contradicted by many ancient Christian texts.  Instead of an Almighty Creator God, ancient Christian texts espouse that the universe was born from blind arrogance and stupidity.  The angels caused evolution to occur from species to species.  There are many gods, (or aliens?), and the Christian God is just one among them.  Satan the Devil writes scripture, and thus the Bible was polluted with Genesis 1.  Archaeology and modern scholarship demonstrate that Genesis is indeed corrupted.  Cavemen walk with Adam and Eve.  Esoteric prophecies reveal the coming of Christ, and also reveal the dark forces that govern the cosmos.  Such are the ancient Christian writings.

Science vindicates the truth of these ideas.  Evolution often happens too fast for Darwin’s theory.  Gaps in the fossil record indicate that some kind of unnatural force acts together with natural selection.  Astrobiology reveals that intelligent life probably evolved long before us.  The fossil record reveals strange clues that aliens abducted species and transported them across oceans, and that DNA from diverse lineages was combined to spawn hybrid species.  Evidently, aliens influence evolution, and they are the gods of the world’s religions. 

This is not fiction.  All these facts are thoroughly documented in the links above.
