Creationist Science Is
the Whore of Babylon
The Genesis 1 creation story is derived from a depraved
polytheistic Babylonian myth called Enuma Elish. Scholars
believe this because there are several converging similarities
between Genesis 1 and Enuma Elish. Below is a list:
Genesis 1 says that creation took place over seven days.
Likewise, Enuma Elish is a creation account written on seven
tablets.
Genesis 1 says that humans were created on the sixth day.
Likewise, the creation of humans is recorded on Enuma
Elishs sixth tablet.[1]
Genesis 1 says that God made the sun, moon, and stars to
be signs for times and seasons. Likewise, Enuma Elish says
that the sun, moon, and stars were created in the form of
constellations, and rules were established to govern them so
that they dont "wander."[2]
Genesis 1 says that a solid ceiling, or firmament, was
spread out above us to hold the weight of an ocean in the sky.
[3] This firmament must be quite strong to support the
weight of the water.[4] Likewise, Enuma Elish says that
there is an ocean in the sky, and that the torso of a dead
goddess named Tiamat forms a firmament to support its
weight.[5]
Genesis' Priestly account of the Flood, which bears many
markings of Genesis 1's cosmological assumptions, asserts
that there are fountains of the ocean deep that can spring up
and flood the land.[6] Likewise, Enuma Elish asserts that the
god Marduk took the breasts of the dead goddess Tiamat and
THIS SECTION: made mountains of them. Then he ran fountains from the
ocean deep through her nipples to make springs, rivers, and
GENESIS
lakes.[7]
CREATION
STORY IS A
FORGERY

Genesis 1 says that "darkness was on the face of the

deep." The Hebrew word for "the deep" is Tihom. In
Enuma Elish, the goddess of the ocean deep is called Tiamat.
The two words are obvious cognates, and they are both
identified with the depths of the ocean. Enuma Elish tells
how Tiamat was killed by the god Marduk, and so it is
natural that Genesis 1 mention that "darkness was on the
face of Tihom (the deep)" because Tihom was killed, and so
her face was dark. As Albright put it, "There was originally
a statement in verse 2 mentioning specifically and succinctly
the triumph of God over the great Deep Tehom = Acc.

Ancient lore says the Jerusalem temple

(above) was built with the help of demons.
The Genesis Creation Story was written by
heretic priests of that temple.

Ancient Christians believed that some parts of

the Bible were written by God and other parts
of the Bible were written by Satan the Devil.

(Accadian) Tiamat which was later deleted."[8]

The very next phrase in Genesis 1 continues, "and the
Spirit of God moved over the waters." The Hebrew word for
spirit here is Ruach, which can also mean "wind."
According to Enuma Elish, the god Marduk killed Tiamat by
blowing a hurricane of wind into her belly and exploding her
from the inside out.[9] Wind moving over the waters is
apparently the Bibles way of remembering this primordial
hurricane.
Why is their so much bloodshed in Enuma Elish?
According to Enuma Elish, the goddess Tiamat was pregnant
with the gods. She decided to kill her own children. But the
gods hired a hit man named Marduk who killed her instead.

Genesis 1 is derived.

Genesis 1 bears all the markings of a sanitized "G-Rated"

version of an earlier "X-Rated" Babylonian myth. The
authors of Genesis 1 probably didnt care about whether
their story was scientifically accurate or not. They couldn't
prove that the earth was created in six days, nor did they
care to do so. They just wanted to create a theologically
acceptable alternative to the popular nonsense of the day.
From a theological standpoint, it is rather disturbing that
creationists are defending a regurgitated Babylonian myth,
especially in light of what the Revelation tells us about
Babylon:

OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH.[10]

Revelation speaks of this "whore of Babylon" clothed in red,

who drinks the blood of the saints, and she is usually
interpreted to represent false religion. Enuma Elish is
straight out of Babylon, and it represents a very depraved
and false religion indeed! Enuma Elish is the spawn of
Babylon, and Genesis 1 is its sibling. Thus, we might
rightfully label the entire creationist worldview as a child of
the Whore of Babylon!
At the heart of both Enuma Elish and Genesis 1 is an
erroneous earth-centered assumption about the solar system.
When the ancients saw the sun set in the west, toward the
Mediterranean Sea, they reasoned that the sun sank into the
ocean. What keeps the sun in the ocean during the
nighttime? Perhaps a big monster keeps it hostage in the
ocean deep. In order for the sun to rise, a hero must kill the
monster. Tiamat was the monster and Marduk was the
hero. When the monster is disposed of, the sun and the
waters of the ocean are free to ascend to the heavens, and
that's why we have sunlight and rainwater.
Seeing that this myth is thoroughly refutable on the basis
of scientific fact, we may discard it as ignorant superstition;

and, since Genesis 1 is derived from this nonsense, we may

discard it also.
Yet there is an element of scientific truth to Enuma
Elish. The myth states that the primordial mother goddess
Tiamat wanted to kill her own children. In this, she is like
Mother Nature. Natural selection is made possible when
Mother Nature sacrifices her own children before they
procreate, thus bringing about evolution by means of
cleansing the gene pool. In this, the Babylonian myth Enuma
Elish is actually more scientific than Genesis 1, for Tiamat is
truly a symbol of Mother Nature, in that she kills her own
children.

The creationist narrative in Genesis 1 is contradicted by
many ancient Christian texts. Instead of an Almighty
Creator God, ancient Christian texts espouse that the
universe is born from blind arrogance and stupidity. The
angels caused evolution to occur from species to species.
There are many gods, (or aliens?), and the Christian God is
just one among them. Satan the Devil writes scripture, and
thus the Bible was polluted with Genesis 1. Archaeology and
modern scholarship demonstrate that Genesis is indeed
corrupted. Cavemen walk with Adam and Eve. Esoteric
prophecies reveal the coming of Christ, and also reveal the
dark forces that govern the cosmos. Such are the ancient
Christian writings.
Science vindicates the truth of these ideas. Evolution often
happens too fast for Darwins theory. Gaps in the fossil
record indicate that some kind of unnatural force acts
together with natural selection. Astrobiology reveals that
intelligent life probably evolved long before us. The fossil
record reveals strange clues that aliens abducted species and
transported them across oceans, and that DNA from diverse
lineages was combined to spawn hybrid species. Evidently,
aliens influence evolution, and they are the gods of the
worlds religions.
This is not fiction. All these facts are thoroughly documented
