Genesis in schools?

Of course the word choice for Genesis is unique and foreign. The words are complex, and filled with discussion from all the people to read over and ponder the bibles words. Many times the bible says, "and it was so." These words relax me. They tell the reader...and that's it. That's the truth, and that's that. These words are very confident, and i think this makes the reader feel safe and sure of what they're taking in. Also, the chapter Genesis says, "and God saw that it was good." This shows that God is pleased in what he made. The word choice with Genesis is very confident, comforting, and has flow i think. Since it was written such a long time ago, of course the writing is old and has history in it.

God made Eve out of Adam. He made her after him, i think many people interpreted this in saying women are below men. This took a change in society. Men became the top of the food chain. They pretty much owned their wives and treated them not too great. In Genesis, it starts to take over this idea. Also, Eve did the first wrong doing in eating the forbidden fruit and then tempting Adam to eat it. All in all, the women's image isn't too good in that particular book in the bible.

I feel that it isn't that big of a deal that the judge uses this book in the bible in court. It is a historical document. But, it isn't proven it's true. I personally think it is true so of course i lean towards the way of letting it be used. But not all people think so. It's all faith. You have to believe that it's true, and that's not necessarily ok when you bring the law into it. The law should involve pure facts and hard evidence.
