In the book of Genesis 1 and 2 tells you about what happened when God created the earth. I believe that he did create the earth in his own image and I have read this story before. This story is an old fashion type of writing. It says that God created man in his own image “after our likeness”. When God creates the earth, animals and sea he is repeating and it was good and it was so, what was good what was so. It also seems that ever time it refers it a person it refers to man not woman. It also says that man should rule over the animals and everything living and that woman should just be the ones to replenish the earth. The book of Genesis can help for some things but if there is nothing to back it up it doesn’t make sense to me.
In Genesis 3 God tells the women first not to eat the fruit and then tells the man, and if they eat from the tree "lest ye die". That really depicts women saying that God had to tell them frist because he knows that she will eat the forbiden fruit. Which she does. After Eve gives the fruit to Adam they relaize that they are naked and now care about there appearance. God comes into the graden of Edan and both Adam and Eve hide because they are naked now and are afraid now. But before Eve ate the apple she was not afraid of God. Also God gives Eve pain and tells he that when she has a baby she will feel pain, God doesnt do anything to Adam. So God pretty much said that now you have sinned, you may kill and be clothed in animal pelts and he is saying that men will be the stronger ones and be more powerful than everything.

I definatly agree that it is hard to believe the book without anything to back it up.
I like how she starts out talking about how she has grown up with the book of genesis and how she breaks down what it has to say. I also agree with your statment of how there is nothing to back up the book. There is no proff whether or not some goof wrote it as a joke or if its true stories and the meanings and ideas are true.
