People say "If you put a million monkeys in a room with typewriters, eventually they will write Hamlet" But I really think that that is a COMPLETE over statement, and a more factual statement would be "If you put a million monkeys in a room with typewriters, you will get Genesis"
Hamlet has a plot, with defined characters, and vivid setting... We can't even agree on where or if Genesis took place.
Let's break down a few verses:
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth" From what we know, we can take this to mean God created the universe and a small spherical ball to go in that universe.
Genesis 1:3 "God said let there be light" From what we know, we can take this to mean that God created the Sun.
Genesis 1:4 "God saw the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness" Shit... So the sun was lighting up BOTH sides of our Sphere before God separated them...? Was the Earth 1 dimensional at first? This makes absolutely NO sense. As light is created, the darkness just represents where the light is not. So there is no need whatsoever to separate them.
Genesis 1:6 "And God said 'let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters' and so it was so"... If I were to roll a joint and hand it to me, you wouldn't say to me "And Shaggy handed me a joint" it is simply not the right context. You would say "Thank you" or whatever, then later you would be like "I got that joint from Shaggy". When God says "Let there be an expanse and let it separate the waters from the waters" he is talking as if these things have already been done. If I wanted to use words to create land in the middle of the ocean, I would say "Let the ocean floor rise to the surface, and the water be split by its expansiveness". God is just not using the right context to be the creator.
More coming soon.
