Genesis

Genesis is one of many ways to view life and how we all came to be. It describes things that before science we indescribable. As apposed to evolution and everything turning into what it is over time the Book of Genesis states that everything was “created.” It infers that God simply said I want this to be and it was. The Book of Genesis says that God created Man. When it does mention females, which is only once in our reading, the Book says that women are only here to “replenish the earth.” This says that women have no other purpose then to bear children. This not only demoralizes women but says that Man is more powerful and has a greater purpose, and women are just here to serve them. In the third Book of Genesis the story is about Adam and his wife Eve. They are in the garden of Eden and they are told not to eat the fruit from a certain tree. When they do the blame is one the women for taking the fruit and taking a bite and then telling the man to take a bite. It says that it is the women's fault entirely. I do not think that the Bible should be used in a court of law due to the fact that not all people believe in the same thing. Using the Bible tells one person or a group of people that their beliefs are incorrect, if it is used against them. The Bible is a very interesting book, at times it is extremely difficult to believe because there is no evidentiary support behind it, but it does help explain the unexplainable.

I agree that you do need something to back it up.

Yes, it is not very nice to women. I think that women should be treated the same as men. Nobody is higher than others. I also think that the Bible places women below men because men are behind it and this is a way for men to control women. All in all it is not very fair.
