Re: Is it this simple to prove the bible inaccurate?

Couldn't this be interpreted on the molecular level meaning that god was able to make man out the same material he made the earth?

According to Genesis, man was created spontaneously from 'soil' and woman was fashioned in like manner from bone matter, purloined from the man. A rather quizzical way to constructed beings.
I was pointing out the inconsistent conclusion of the previous poster - the evolution of a species takes a god awful amount of time, progressing through various forms and never being in a static condition but always in a state of flux, and thus the very opposite of the way the Lord God is said to go about it in Chapter two of Genesis.
As far as the subject of 'interpretation', I should think that you are free to interpret the Bible in any way you see fit. Even basing your interpretations on whatever evidence you can reconstruct about the making of this most marvelous book. Others that post here on this forum will no doubt take exception to such a heretical stance.
