Refuting Genesis 1

Genesis 1:1-2 states that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the spirit  of God was hovering over the water.
This is scientifically impossible as the Earth cann't be created before the Sun. Earth was created by Big Bang and when the energy was converted into matter and the Universe was filled with clouds of hydrogen and helium gas. These clouds would coalesce through gravity to form galaxies and stars. One of these stars, our Sun, would form in the Milky Way galaxy. There would be a disk of gas and dust orbiting our Sun, from which Earth would form. This above verse of Bible gives image of a Earth thought by bronze age people who thought that earth stays at the same place without orbitting the sun

In the coming verses 1:2-10 we see that God created light and separate it from darkness calling it day and night. Here we see that light was created without no source and day and night was formed. There was also evening and morning the next day but no source of light is mentioned. Here we also see that God spend whole entire day just to seperate light from darkness.
How Can There Be Light Without Light Source?
Coming next we read in Genesis 1:11-13 that God created vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. However, we see that is scientifically impossible as the plants and tress can't stay alive without sunlight and process of photosynthesis.

Reading on we see that in the verses Genesis 1:14-19 that God created the two sources of light that is sun and moon and placed it in the sky. The sun was made to govern the day where as Moon was to govern the night. There are two points to ponder upon. Firstly the moon doesn't produce any light but the moon's light is reflected by Sun. There is not one place where Bible speaks of a moon producing light but in other verses too Example Isaiah 13:10. See Moon Having Its Own Light!, Does Moon Have Its Own Light?. The moon is not a light, but only reflects light from the sun. And why, if God made the moon to "rule the night", does it spend half of its time moving through the daytime sky?
Second point is that God creates light and separates light from darkness, and day from night, on the first day [Genesis 1:3-5]. Yet he didn't make the light producing objects (the sun and the stars) until the fourth day (1:14-19). And how could there be "the evening and the morning" on the first day if there was no sun to mark them?
How Can There Be Light Without Light Source?

We also see in verse 16 that God made stars. God spends a day making light (before making the sun and stars) and separating light from darkness; then, at the end of a hard day's work, and almost as an afterthought, he make more than 300 million stars. May be the God just have an energy drink.
Continuing reading from Genesis 1:20-31 there are several errors and points to ponder. We see that God first created the birds, animals, wildlife and other creature than man but it conflicts with the order of events that are known to science. In Genesis, the earth is created before light and stars, birds and whales before reptiles and insects, and flowering plants before any animals. The order of events known from science is just the opposite.

Another scientific absurdity here is that we see in verse 30 that God thought that all animals were herbivores and give them green plant for food. According to Bible this means that All animals were originally herbivores. Tapeworms, vampire bats, mosquitoes, and barracudas all were strict vegetarians, as they were created by God. We also see in verse 29 that God give animals every food and plant to eat. Since many plants have evolved poisons to protect against animals that would like to eat them, God's advice is more than a little reckless. Would you tell your children to go out in the garden and eat whatever plants they encounter?
Are All Animal Herbivores?

While talking about creation the Bible speaks creation of the Heavens and the Earth, in six days and talks about a evening and a morning, referring to a 24 - hour day. Today scientists tell us, that the universe cannot be created in a 24 hour period of six days but more than that.
We also see in Genesis 1 the entire creation takes 6 days, but the universe is 13.7 billion years old, with new stars constantly being formed.
God also sees on sixth day that all he created was good including predators, etc. May be He purposefully designed a system that ensures the suffering and death of all his creatures, parasite and host, predator and prey.
