For those who believe the Creation story literally, do you know about this one traced over 40 000 years ago?

Question

Before anything, there was a big hole called Chaos. Then Mother Earth emerged. She had a son called Uranus, who was the sky, with whom she had sons together. Rain fell from Sky to Earth making plants grow and animals appear.
Their first kids were one-eye monsters who were banished into the Underworld. Later, human-shaped giants were born and became the first Gods and Goddesses.
One was in charge of creating the human race. After two tries ( the first ones couldn't have children so they died out, the second ones were evil so they were exterminated), he finally got it right.

This Creation story was believed for over a period of 7000 years. It finally died out to be replaced with the Christian one. Have we evolved really?
btw, it's Greek mythology. Do you think one day, they ll be talking about Christian "mythology" as well?

Answer 2

Don't you know Uranus and all the Titans were offspring of the Nephillim?Even Flavius Josephus says that.Titan is an offshoot of the word Shitan which is an offshoot of Satan.The Nephillim were fallen angels who mated with women and bred strange hybrids(Genesis 6).These Hybrids became the "Gibbor" Mighty Ones or Titans.God used the flood to kill them.
God used the Jews as His "Oracles" record keepers because He knew they were so precise and the rest of the world, as time went on ,had trace memories(every culture has a flood story)of these events but had forgotten the main parts so they made up the details.The Bible ,by the way never says 6000 years or any years for that matter.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"...after that there could have been a billion years until the next verse.After he put Adam and Eve in He told them to REPLENISH the earth.Replenish what? What was taken away that needed replenishing?Was there another age? I think so.

Answer 3

I dont think so at all because both beliefs were out there at the same time. many people still believe in Greek Mythology.

When the Romans stopped believing that God and Jesus were real, they began to believe in Greek Mythology.

Answer 4

Christian mythology is here now. We don't need to wait for it to become mythology because it already is.

Answer 5

A day will come when all religions are considered mythology.

Answer 6

Seals made use of some of the most ancient forms of writing. They were used to certify documents, to show authority and, on occasion, as amulets. The earliest seals were made of clay impressed with markings or writing, and some of them became hardened with time or were baked when fires swept through a city. Since they are made of clay, they have survived much longer than records written on papyrus or parchment.

Genesis depicts the tempter, Satan, influencing Eve and in turn her husband, Adam, to disobey their Creator. God had told Adam and Eve they would die if they ate of the tree. But the serpent said to Eve, "You will not surely die." So Eve partook, found the fruit pleasant, then offered it to her husband, "and he ate" (Genesis 3:1-6).

Is this account only a myth? Many critics thought so. Yet archaeology has unearthed, not in biblical Israel, but in the site of the most ancient civilization known, Sumer, a seal depicting this very sequence of events described in the book of Genesis. This find, known as the Temptation Seal, is in the British Museum. It dates to the third millennium before Christ, some 5,000 years ago. This artifact shows a man and a woman viewing a tree, and behind the woman is a serpent. The man and woman are both reaching for fruit of the tree.

The Genesis account of the temptation was believed to be a fabrication by Jewish writers, yet this graphic portrayal of events described in Genesis existed thousands of years before critics believe the book of Genesis was written. This artifact, one of the earliest surviving records, demonstrates that humans knew the essentials of the temptation incident, and not only from the biblical account written in Genesis.

The Adam and Eve seal

Another Sumerian seal, dated ca. 3500 B.C. and now housed in the museum of the University of Pennsylvania, shows events that took place after the man and woman ate the forbidden fruit. This seal depicts the naked figures of a male and a female, bowed in humiliation, being driven out, followed by a serpent. This seal also describes the story of the expulsion from the Garden of Eden: ". . . Therefore the LORD God sent him [Adam] out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken" (Genesis 3:23).

And the greek mythology was NOT 40,000 years ago! It was 900-800 BC!
