The Torah is VERY errant and contradictive to that of scientific
facts. The first book of Genesis alone should be enough to invalidate
Judaism to any INTELLIGENT person. Sadly, not only is Judaism still
one of the world’s leading religions, but it has spawned the most
insane theism (Christianity). The goal of this page is to expose the
inaccuracies of the Torah, hence shooting down its divine claim. All
the verses shall appear in chronological order. Feel free to copy
what ever you wish.
1) The Genesis 1 creation account conflicts with the order of events
that are known to science. Genesis 1:1 The earth is created before
light and stars, birds and whales before reptiles and insects, and
flowering plants before any animals. From science, we know that the
true order of events was just the opposite.
2) “And God said, Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3) and “. . .And the
evening and the morning were the first day” (Genesis 1 :5), versus
“And God said, ‘Let there be light in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night....’ “And God made two lights; the
greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night:
he made the stars also… And the evening and morning were the fourth
day” (Genesis 1 :14-19). These violates two major facts. Light
cannot exist without a sun, and secondly, how can morning be
distinguished from evening unless there is a sun and moon? Christians
try to claim that god is the light he is referring to yet, considering
the context it is quite obvious that the light god is speaking of is
the light emitted by the sun. Just another feeble attempt at trying
to rationalize such a MAJOR blunder.
3) God spends one-sixth of his entire creative effort (the second day)
working on a solid firmament (Genesis 1:6-8). This strange structure,
which God calls heaven, is intended to separate the higher waters from
the lower waters. This firmament, if it existed, would have been
quite an obstacle to our space program.
4) Plants are made on the third day (Genesis 1:11) before there was a
sun to drive their photosynthetic processes (Genesis 1:14-19).
5) “And God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind… ‘And the
evening and the morning were the third day” (Genesis 1:11-13), versus
“And God said, ‘Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life… And God created - great whales, and every
living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth
abundantly… And the evening and the morning were the fifth day”
(Genesis 1:20-23). Genesis says that life existed first on the land
as plants and later the seas teemed with living creatures. Geological
science can prove that the sea teemed with animals and vegetable life
long before vegetation and life appeared on land.
6) “And God said, ‘Let the water bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the
open firmament of heaven” (Genesis 1:20). Birds did not emerge from
water.
7) "And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after
his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, the beast of the earth after his
kind: and it was so. And God made…every thing that creepth upon the
earth after his kind…" (Genesis 1:24-25). Science contends that
reptiles were created long before mammals, not simultaneously. While
reptiles existed in the Carboniferous Age, mammals did not appear
until the close of the Reptilian Age.
8) “So God created man in his own image,...male and female created he
them” (Genesis 1:27), and “the evening and the morning were the sixth
day” (Genesis 1:31). If Adam was created on the 6th day, approximately
6,000 years ago (Bishop Usher’s calculations), then nobody lived
before 4,000 B.C. Prehistoric men would be fictitious. By tracing the
genealogy of Jesus back 77 generations to Adam, the third chapter of
Luke also supports belief in a very young earth. If each man had
lived approximately 100 years, then the world would be no more than
9,684 (7,700 + 1984) years old. If each of Jesus’ ancestors had lived
to be 1,000 years old (an age not even reached by Methuselah), the
earth would still be only 78,984 (77,000 + 1984) years old, according
to creationists.
9) “And to every beast of the earth, and every fowl of the air, and to
every thing that creepeth upon the earth wherein there is life, I have
given every green herb for meat: and it was so” (Genesis 1:30).
Carnivorous beasts and fowl do not eat green herbs, nor were all
animals originally herbivores. Simply consider tapeworms, vampire
bats, mosquitoes, barracudas, tigers, etc.
10) In Genesis 1, the entire creation takes 6 days (Genesis 1:31), at
the end of which the earth and its living things are pretty much as
they are today. But we know from modern science that the universe
(including the earth and life on earth) evolved slowly over billions
of years.
11) In Genesis 2:7 humans are created instantaneously from dust and
breath, whereas they actually evolved over millions of years from
simpler life forms. Science can in fact trace back human evolution
CONCLUSIVELY 3 .2 million years.
12) God makes the animals (Genesis 2:18) and parades them before Adam
to see if any would strike his fancy. But none seem to have what it
takes to please him. After making the animals, God has Adam name them
all. The naming of several million species must have kept Adam busy
for a while, why Adam would still have to be living for we haven’t
even discovered nor named all the species. Also consider the idea of
every living creature being brought to the Middle East, that would
have killed many animals due to climatic changes.
13) God curses the serpent, making him crawl on his belly and eat dust
(Genesis 3:14). One wonders how he got around before -- by hopping on
his tail, perhaps? But snakes don’t eat dust, do they?
14) “There were giants in the earth in those days.” Genesis 6:4 But
there is no archaeological evidence for the existence of these giants.
Also there is a reference to the “Nephilim” being on the earth. Which
is a term used for half angel, half human. Why is there no
archaeological evidence for the existence of the Nephilim either?
15) Noah is told to make an ark that is 450 feet long (Genesis
6:14-15). The largest wooden ships ever built were just over 300
feet, and they required diagonal iron strapping for support. Even so,
they leaked so badly that they had to be pumped constantly. Are we to
believe that Noah, with no shipbuilding knowledge and no shipbuilding
tradition to rely upon, was able to construct a wooden ship that was
longer than any that has been built since?
16) Whether by twos or by sevens, Noah takes male and female
representatives from each species of “every thing that creepeth upon
the earth” (Genesis 7:8). Now this must have taken some time, along
with expert knowledge of taxonomy, genetics, biogeography, and
anatomy. How did Noah manage to collect the endemic species from the
New World, Australia, Polynesia, and other remote regions entirely
unknown to him? How, once he found them, did he transport them back
to his Near Eastern home? How could he tell the male and female
beetles (there are more than 500,000 species) apart? How did he know
how to care for these new and unfamiliar animals? How did he find the
space on the ark? How did he manage to find and care for the hundreds
of thousands of parasitic species or the hundreds of thousands of
plant species? (Plants are ignored in the Genesis account, but the
animals wouldn’t last long if the plants died in the flood.) No,
wait, don’t tell me, a miracle happened, millions of them.
17) All of the animals boarded the ark “in the selfsame day” (Genesis
7:13-14). Since there were several million species involved, they
must have boarded at a rate of at least 100 per second. How did poor
Noah and his family make sure that the correct number of each species
entered through the door and then get them all settled into their
proper living quarters so efficiently? I wish the airline companies
could do as well!
18) The flood covered the highest mountain tops (Mount Everest?) with
fifteen cubits to spare (Genesis 7:20). Where did all the water come
from? Where did it all go? Why is there no evidence of such a
massive flood in the geological record?
19) When the animals left the ark (Genesis 8:19), what would they have
eaten? There would have been no plants after the ground had been
submerged for nearly a year. What would the carnivores have eaten?
Whatever prey they ate would have gone extinct. And how did the New
World primates or the Australian marsupials find there way back after
the flood subsided?
20) Noah kills the “clean beasts” and burns their dead bodies for God
(Genesis 8:20). According to Genesis 7:8 this would have caused the
extinction of all “clean” animals since only two of each were taken
onto the ark. So why is it that we still have “clean” animals?
21) God is filled with remorse for having drowned his creatures in the
flood. He even puts the rainbow in the sky so that whenever the
animals see it they will remember God’s promise not to do it again
(Genesis 9:13). But rainbows are caused by the nature of light, the
refractive index of water, and the shape of raindrops. There were
rainbows billions of years before humans existed.
22) “The whole earth was of one language” (Genesis 11:1). But this
could not be true, since by this time (around 2400 BCE) there were
already many languages, each unintelligible to the others.
23) (Genesis. 11:4) According to the Tower of Babel story, the many
human languages were created instantaneously by God (Genesis 11:9)
But actually the various languages evolved gradually over long periods
of time.
24) (Genesis 14:14) Abram goes into pursuit looking for his captive
relative in the city of Dan. The problem here is that the city of Dan
did not exist until over 300 years after Moses died. How is it that
Abram could enter the city of Dan, when the city did not even exist?
25) Jacob displays his (and God’s) knowledge of biology by having
goats copulate while looking at streaked rods. The result is streaked
baby goats (Genesis 30:37). The author of Genesis (God?) believed
that genetic characteristics of the offspring are determined by what
the parents see at the moment of conception. This is a laughable
belief. Ask any animal husbandrist.
26) Camels don’t divide the hoof (Leviticus 11:4). This statement is
completely moronic for every TEENAGER knows what a “camel toe” and how
it used to describe a specific split.
27) The bible says that hares and conies are unclean because they
“chew the cud” but do not part the hoof (Leviticus 11:5-6). But hares
and coneys are not ruminants and they do not “chew the cud.”
28) Bats are birds to the biblical God (Leviticus 11:13-19 &
Deuteronomy 14:11-18).
29) Some birds have four feet (Leviticus 11:20-21).
30) If there is a God, there is one thing we know for sure about him:
He really likes insects (particularly beetles). There are more
species of insects, by far, than all other species of life on earth.
As JBS Haldane said, “he has an inordinate fondness for beetles.” Yet
insects are said to have four legs in Leviticus 11:22-23.
31) Unicorns have never existed, yet they are said to in Deuteronomy
33:17.
32) Fiery serpents have NEVER existed yet Numbers 21:6 claims they do
and TO THIS DAY STILL inhabit certain cities.
