The Tannak (Old Testament)

 

            I am a strong believer in God and his son Jesus Christ, but I don't believe that the Old Testament is a valid historically correct document. In many instances, such as Adam and Eve, Noah's Arc, and the parting of the Red Sea, as stated in the Old Testament. I find it hard to claim the entire Old Testament as an accurate historical document. I have faith in its teachings and yet it is not all necessarily proven to be true.
             In the beginning of Genesis, God made man. The writer was unaware of the scientific findings of today's society. He or she assumed Adam and Eve resembled man at his or her time. In reality, man's appearance has changed over the many thousands of years since his creation. If he or she was unaware of this, then how do we know we it to be historically correct? Did it actually happen the way it says in the Old Testament? Written in the testament, God created man then woman. How is it possible that Oriental, .
             African, Hispanic, and Caucasian people descended from just two people? Many people do not believe in evolution. They believe that this is against the teachings of the Bible. When it states man was created in the image of God, does this mean God looks exactly like we as we are today? In another sense, God is everywhere. How can someone our image cover the entire known and unknown universe. God would have to have, instead of a man like image, an ethereal form.
             Secondly, there is the story of Noah's Arc. There could have been a man named Noah who could have built a good size ship. There also could have been many animals in that ship. The size of the boat must have been enormous to fit two of every animal in the world including the storage for food. There certainly could have been a flood, but most likely it did not cover the entire world when the only world they know was the land that hnd been explored. .
             Thirdly, I bring into question the parting of the Red Sea.
