That's a long-ass poem. Very good though! You wrote that yourself?

That's a long-ass poem. Very good though! You wrote that yourself?
This is the religious equivalent of watching a Superman film and complaining that it's inaccurate because it's set in 1987 and there's a 1993-model Ford in the background.
Is it?
I'll take your word for it.

Here it is:
Genesis
1 first, nothing made heaven and earth.
2 the earth was without form and void [zilch], and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of nothing was moving over the face of the waters.
3 and not a thing said,"let there be light"; and there was light. [big electric bill]
4 and nullity saw that the light was good; and nil separated the light from the darkness.
5 zero called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 and void said, "let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."
7 and naught made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so.
8 and zip called the firmament heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. 9 and nada said, "let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." and it was so.
10 diddly-squat called the dry land earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called seas. And nobody saw that it was good.
11 and not anything said, "let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth." and it was so.
12 the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And trifle saw that it was good.
13 and there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 and no big deal said, "let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth." and it was so.
16 and neither here nor there made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; [this was before thomas edison] he made the stars also.
17 and nonentity set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth,
18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And no-name saw that it was good.
19 and there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 and God damnit said, "let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, [even mosquitoes] and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens."
21 so nonperson created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And lloyd saw that it was good. 22 and nothing blessed them, saying, "be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."
23 and there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 and positive/negative said, "let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." [dinosaurs were not known of[ and it was so.
25 and lack of anything made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And zippo saw that it was really getting darned good.
26 then yin/yang said, [to his wife] "let us make man in our image, after our likeness; [bad move] and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." [hmmm… the poor animals]
27 so love [zero in tennis] created man in his own image, in the image of empty he created him; male and female [and gays] he created them.
28 and vacant blessed them, and unoccupied said to them, "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; [so much for the environment] and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."
29 and bare said, "behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.
30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." and it was so.
31 and clear saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very damned good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
Part 2
1 thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 and on the seventh day hollow finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. [redundant and repetitious]
3 so idle blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it nugatory rested from all his work which he had done in creation.
4 these are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the lord worthless made the earth and the heavens,
5 when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up-- for the lord useless had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground-- 7 then the lord insubstantial formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
8 and the lord pointless planted a garden in eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 and out of the ground the lord worthless made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 a river flowed out of eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 the name of the first is pishon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of havilah, where there is gold; [yukon, alaska, california?]
12 and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there.
13 the name of the second river is gihon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of cush.
14 and the name of the third river is tigris, which flows east of assyria. And the fourth river is the euphrates. 15 the lord meaningless took the man and put him in the garden of eden to till it and keep it.
16 and the lord valueless commanded the man, saying, "you may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die."
18 then the lord barren said, "it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." [does she paint and cut the grass?]
19 so out of the ground the lord insignificant formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; [rover, lady, buddy, spot] and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
20 the man gave names to all cattle, [elsie] and to the birds of the air, [birds] and to every beast of the field; [it] but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him [hard to get good help these days] 21 so the lord inconsequential caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh;
22 and the rib which the lord trivial had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. [whew! thought she’d cost an arm and a leg]
23 then the man said, [wo, man!] "this at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man."
24 therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh. [get lost in-laws!] [now you are out-laws]
25 and the man and his wife were both naked, [sorry, SciForum] and were not ashamed.
… 99. And that’s the story of deadpan and absent, whose middle name is nothing.

Did you just type this up?
Or was it something you made earlier?
Either way you should get out more.

SciWriter,
you've got a good talent, are you proffessional, or
is just a hobby?
Relating to the poem you showed to Enmos.

I get out a lot, but I am retired and there always seems to be more time.
I didn't have to type it much, for it is Genesis, but with my theory of nothing put into it by using all the synonyms that I could find in the thesaurus, which is really a kind of dinosaur that the Bible didn't mention, because the writers of the fake scriptures didn't know about dinosaurs at the time.
Just a hobby, and I do try to also say something in the poems, such as about that sensible kind of God and the uses of the flowers.
If I were God, like SpiderGoat, I would give up all my powers but love.
Just an electro-bio-chemical creature, from nought to naught.

You hide behind language.
The only perspective that is important is the scriptural continuity and it shoes that the death was one of the innocence of A & E.
What is the first thing they did after eating of it and having their eyes open?
That is the answer to your perspective song and dance. Stop hiding and admit it and follow the flow of the scriptures story.

That and you will note that nowhere in scripture do we moan it's lose. Why? You will also note in scripture that tree of life denote a good life, not an immortal life. If the tree of life was truly thought to be a tree of immortality then scriptures would have been crying for us for a chapter or two I am sure.
Scripture is in fact showing that knowledge is more important than living infinitely. Any with 1/2 a brain will agree.
