If a person has a predetermined mind to not believe the bible, don't bother viewing these.

For questions, there are answers. Whether one accepts them or not is up to the individual.

For those genuinely searching, here's the other side of TrickyD's assertions:

Genesis contradictions? (http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v18/i4/genesis.asp - broken link)
Don't Gen. 1 and 2 present contradictory creation accounts?

In court, where people are trying to determine the truth, 2 eyewitnesses claiming to have seen Mr. X commit a crime, but none of the stories collaborate each other on anything other than them seeing Mr. X doing the crime, can only be proof that 1 or possibly both eyewitnesses are lying.
Most likely the 2 eyewitnesses are trying to set up Mr. X.
This simply also applies to Genesis 1 and Genesis 2.
Either Genisis 1 is true or Genesis 2 is true, but both being the truth is impossible.

In Genesis 1 God created man and woman together, like all the other animals.
Genesis 2 got the order of created beings all wrong and Eve had to be created out of Adam.
I believe that Genesis 2 is simply untrue. I mean God not being aware that Adam would be lonely without a mate?
That fact alone contradicts God being omniscient.

Ah yes, children believe in Santa Claus because their parents told them so, right? I never believed them.
If my own parents already lied to me as a child, why should I expect different as an adult from other people?

If your basing your faith in God on how faithful people in your life have been, I understand your positions.

No I claim others of wanting to be like children because they believe that children do not question.
As a child I questioned many things and learned to never believe anything on (blind) faith alone.
I still am like that child that questions.
