Maybe.
Look, we're talking about legends handed down orally for at least a few hundred years before being written. It's uncertain how much they morphed in that time, when the story of Lilith was coined, when it split off. For all we know it could have started as one tribe's alternate name for Eve.
It's folk like you that Alexander Pope alluded to when he wrote, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
In brief, you're wrong. But I don't have the time to explain it to you, and you likely lack the intellect to comprehend that you are wrong due to the Dunning-Kruger effect
The original language is quite clear that the creation of the two was simultaneous. Indeed the very word for "God" is different in the two chapters because they are drawn from two different oral traditions. They were not originally meant to form a narrative together.
True, but that's the most glaring one. Also, if you can't make it to chapter two without a discrepancy, what hope is there for the rest of it?
Biblical scholars (as opposed to the nutjob putting up this award) theorize that the books of Moses are assembled from at least three traditions. This becomes more clear when looking at the original Hebrew - the words used for "God" change where in English they are translated into the same word. As a Catholic, disproving the Bible means little to me since it is only a part of my faith, not the whole foundation of it. Protestants however must frantically fight to prove the book entirely correct because of their subscription to the sola scriptura heresy which separates them from Catholicism.
To me, Genesis is a collection of myths with a spiritual truth to be discerned from them. They are instructive stories, not a literal chronicle of events.
Chapter 1 - Male and Female are created simultaneously.
Chapter 2 - Adam and Eve are created in that order.
One of the two accounts must be false - they are mutually exclusive factual statements.
Genesis is a collection of myths with no more truth to them then the parables.
Because, usually, you aren't. Laws against concealed carry see to that. And even if you are, they aren't planning to confront you. Their (usually drug addled) plan is, "get gun, pawn gun to get money." They can steal a car, but pawning those off takes effort. They can burgle a nice house, but those also tend to have the security alarms. Not so nice houses usually don't have anything of value. Guns always have value to a thief so advertising you've got some (most gun owners have between 2 and 5 guns, not just one) they'll come looking.
If you walk in on someone robbing your house, do you really want to deal with the possibility they found the gun first?
People say this a lot but it doesn't make a lot of sense. Why would criminals deliberately break into a house where the know the occupants are armed?
To steal the guns, duh.
Thieves do not typically enter a house that is occupied regardless of whether or not the occupants are armed.
saying we can get anti gravity devices to work because it was on star trek.
The scientific plausibility of nuclear decay to vary because of neutrinos is one level below insane.
The standard model predicts nuclear decay with extreme precision, so until someone comes up with a repeatable compelling theory and or experiment that is consistent with the SM and this sort of effect on decay I wouldn't give this much thought.
You've got that backwards. If we get observations that prove nuclear decay is variable then SM must perforce be revised or thrown out the window entirely.
Time to update the lyrics to this song - anyone got the current figures?
Flander's and Swann - 20 Tons of TNT
I have seen it estimated:
Somewhere between death and birth
There are now three thousand million
People living on this earth
And the stock-piled mass destruction
Of the Nuclear Powers-That-Be
Equals--for each man or woman--
Twenty tons of TNT.
Every man of every nation
Twenty tons of TNT
Shall receive this allocation
Twenty tons of TNT.
Texan, Bantu, Slav or Maori,
Argentine or Singhalee,
Every maiden brings this dowry
Twenty tons of TNT.
Not for thirty silver shilling
Twenty tons of TNT
Twenty thousand pounds a killing--
Twenty tons of TNT.
Twenty hundred years of teaching,
Give to each his legacy,
Plato, Buddha, Christ or Lenin,
Twenty tons of TNT
Father, Mother, Son and Daughter,
(Twenty tons of TNT)
Give us land and seed and water,
(Twenty tons of TNT.)
Children have no need of sharing;
At each new nativity
Come the ghostly Magi bearing
Twenty tons of TNT
Ends the tale that has no sequel
Twenty tons of TNT.
Now in death are all men equal
Twenty tons of TNT.
Teach me how to love my neighbour,
Do to him as he to me;
Share the fruits of all our labour
Twenty tons of TNT.
On the eighth day, God created FORTRAN.
