The earliest humans are given two conflicting yet similar genealogies in Genesis.  Here they are:

Gen 4:17-18, Yahwist	Gen 5:1-28a, Priestly
Cain begat Enoch	Adam begat Seth
Enoch begat Irad	Seth begat Enosh
Irad begat Mehujael	Enosh begat Cainan
Mehujael begat Methusael	Cainan begat Mahalaleel
Methusael begat Lamech	Mahalaleel begat Jared
	Jared begat Enoch
	Enoch begat Methuselah
	Methuselah begat Lamech

The most striking difference between the two is that they repeatedly and consistently call God by different names.  In Genesis 4, God's name is "Yahweh;" but in Genesis 5, God's name is "Elohim."  There is no mistaking that these two genealogies are variants of a single earlier tradition, for the people who are listed in the one find a doppelganger in the other.  Cain = Cainan, Enoch = Enoch and Enosh, Irad = Jared, Mehujael = Mahalaleel, Methusael = Methuselah, and Lamech = Lamech.  Of the two, it is the Priestly text which is the most infeasible, for it records the most outrageous life spans – "And Adam lived 930 years… Methuselah lived 969 years…"[1] etc.  Insofar as such long life spans are highly improbable, it is the other account, the Yahwist account in Genesis 4, which is more likely to contain some truth to it.

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.
