Genesis

Genesis was definitely interesting. The way it was written was simple. The words so, good, and, were used all the time. Big words or hidden meanings weren't even close to being in the story, so anyone could read it and understand. The only reason I can think of for it being so simple is so young kids can read it and understand their family's beliefs. The ideas are bizarre. This creature, that just magically appears, forms the whole world in one week. That is impossible, I think. After he creates the world in seven days he can just lay back and watch down on what he made forever. He also basically said that without men there wouldn't be women. Women came from men, because the woman came from his rib bone. I don't think anyone should look at Genesis as a reference, especially for a hearing in court. The story is not proven to be true, so a person's destiny should not be based on a little story. Also, a lot of people don't believe this so if a judge did use it, there is no way it would be fair because the whole story is about beliefs. If a judge is going to use false stories to make a decision he has some serious problems. Decisions should be made based on facts and evidence. For some people, they truly believe Genesis and God, and that works for them, but I don't think it is very helpful for anything.
