Also, why are so many preachers heavy handed on the subject of israel?

What an excellent comment. The creation stories are neither consistent nor inconsistent. They are best viewed in the context of the historical continuum within which they were written. For instance, the second biblical creation story in Genesis is an incomplete replica of the Sumerian creation stories. The first is clearly 100% ancient Egyptian. I have been in the secret crypt underneath the floor of the Dendera temple in Abydos, Egypt, which contains the "Dendera light bulb," which is pretty much the exact creation myth that is first talked about in Genesis. Just amazing.
No shit? You have really been there?
Yes. Twice. It's utterly amazing. The temple is from the Ptolemaic times (when early Greece ruled Egypt) but the crypt is underground. A sacred place for the priests to secretly teach their most treasured, sacred knowledge.
I do of course wonder how the crypt would have been lighted... haha
Here's what GPT says about it:
I concur with this
You should write a book. I'd buy it
Oh, boy, could you imagine a book by CatsFive... :D
Most of what I know is from watching YT lectures all over teh place. Here's one good one about Sumerian creation myths:

PS, if you're interested, you should totally consume everything by Ben VK (this is who I initially went to Egypt with):

He was on Joe Rogan, too. Also look at Graham Hancock's stuff. And apprehend the book "The Giza Power Plant" by Christopher Dunn. Here's a lecture by him:

I'll talk about Egypt history ALL day, frog. Hit me up with any questions!
Is it any wonder the human author, Moses, was educated in Egypt? As the story goes in Genesis Joseph was used to organize the prosperity of 7 years to later funnel all the ANE wealth to Egypt and make it the dominant country during that period of history. Later after 40 years of becoming a somebody Moses got to spend 40 years learning to be a nobody to round out his schooling with practical life experience. So we have a guy with literally the best education in the known world with the humility of one pardoned of murder leading God's people to salvation and codifying their history and culture. It's a good story.
