A.I. says the following are the main events of Genesis & Exodus & what the lessons are.

Do you agree?

.1. CREATION

The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible and the Torah, and it tells the story of God's creation and his plan to bless the world through his chosen people. The main events of the book of Genesis are:

- God creates the heavens and the earth, and everything in them, in six days. He makes humans in his image and gives them dominion over the earth. He rests on the seventh day and declares everything very good.

8..-1 PANGAEA SUPERCONTINENT FORMATION

The Genesis story of creation is a narrative that describes how God created the world and everything in it in six days, and rested on the seventh day. The story reveals some aspects of God's character, such as his power, wisdom, and goodness. It also shows his relationship with his creation, especially with human beings, who are made in his image and likeness. One possible moral of the story is that God is the source of all life and order, and that human beings are called to respect and obey him as their Creator and Lord. Another possible moral is that human beings have a special dignity and responsibility as God's stewards over the earth, and that they should use their gifts and abilities to serve him and care for his creation.

.2. ADAM & EVE

- The first humans, Adam and Eve, live in the Garden of Eden, where they enjoy God's presence and provision. However, they disobey God's command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and they are expelled from the garden. They also bring sin and death into the world.

From Thunderbolts.info. Saturn, Venus & Mars were likely near Earth c. 5,000 years ago. The image shows a side view on the left, then the view from Earth, then Venus, then 2 ancient depictions of all 3. Some of the ancients thought Saturn was God and Venus was Eve and Mars was Adam.

The moral of the Genesis story of Adam and Eve is that humans have free will and are responsible for their choices. God created humans in his image and gave them a paradise to live in, but also gave them a command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When the serpent tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, she chose to disobey God and persuaded Adam to do the same. As a result, they lost their innocence and were banished from the garden. The story shows that humans have the ability to choose between obedience and disobedience, and that their actions have consequences.

- Adam and Eve have two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain kills Abel out of jealousy and becomes a wanderer. God promises Eve another son, Seth, who becomes the ancestor of Noah.

.3. CAIN & ABEL

The story of Cain and Abel is one of the oldest and most well-known stories in the Bible. It tells the tragic tale of two brothers who offered sacrifices to God, but only one of them was accepted. Cain, the elder brother, was a farmer who brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering. Abel, the younger brother, was a shepherd who brought the fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. God looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. This made Cain very angry and jealous, and he killed his brother in the field.

The moral of this story is that God values sincerity and obedience over outward appearances and rituals. Abel's sacrifice was more pleasing to God because it came from the best he had to give, while Cain's sacrifice was less than his best. God also cares about how we treat each other, especially our family members. Cain's murder of Abel was a terrible sin that broke God's commandment to love one another. God punished Cain by making him a wanderer on the earth, away from his family and his land.

The story of Cain and Abel also foreshadows the conflict between good and evil that runs throughout human history. Abel represents the righteous people who follow God's will, while Cain represents the wicked people who rebel against God. The story also points to the need for a Savior who can redeem us from our sins and restore our relationship with God. Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of this promise, as he is called "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). He is also the "righteous Abel" who was killed by the "evil one" (1 John 3:12), but rose again to give us eternal life.

.4. NOAH

- The world becomes corrupt and violent, and God decides to destroy it with a great flood. He spares Noah and his family, who are righteous, and instructs them to build an ark and fill it with pairs of animals. After the flood, God makes a covenant with Noah and his descendants, promising never to destroy the earth by water again. He also gives them a sign of his covenant: the rainbow.

3..3 GREAT FLOOD

- Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, become the fathers of different nations. One of Ham's sons, Canaan, is cursed by Noah for dishonoring him. The descendants of Noah build a city and a tower called Babel, where they try to reach the heavens and make a name for themselves. God confuses their language and scatters them over the earth.

The Genesis story of Noah's Flood is a well-known narrative in the Bible that illustrates God's judgment and mercy on humanity. According to the story, God was grieved by the wickedness and violence of the people on earth, and decided to destroy them with a great flood. However, God found Noah to be a righteous and faithful man, and instructed him to build an ark to save himself, his family, and two of every kind of animal. Noah obeyed God and prepared the ark for the coming deluge. The flood lasted for forty days and nights, and wiped out every living creature on earth, except for those in the ark. After the flood subsided, God made a covenant with Noah and his descendants, promising never to destroy the earth with water again. He also gave them a sign of his promise: a rainbow in the sky.

One possible moral of this story is that God is sovereign over his creation, and he will judge sin and evil with justice and righteousness. Another possible moral is that God is gracious and compassionate to those who trust and obey him, and he will provide a way of salvation and restoration for them. A third possible moral is that God is faithful to his promises, and he will not forget his covenant with his people.

.5. TOWER OF BABEL

Image on left is from PathsIWalk.com. It says the Tower of Babel symbolized the Great Pyramid. But the image on right is from Thunderbolts.info and that says the Tower and the Pyramids represented the ancient polar column that reached to ancient Mars in the Saturn Configuration.

The story of the Tower of Babel is a parable that teaches us about the dangers of pride, disobedience, and human ambition. According to the story, the people of Shinar wanted to build a city and a tower that would reach the heavens, so that they could make a name for themselves and avoid being scattered over the earth. However, God saw their plan and decided to confuse their language, so that they could not understand each other and cooperate. As a result, the people abandoned their project and dispersed over the face of the whole earth. The moral of the story is that human beings should not try to exalt themselves above God or challenge His authority, but rather obey His commands and trust His purposes. The story also shows us that God is the source of human diversity and that He has a plan for all nations and peoples.

.6. ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB & JOSEPH

One possible moral of the Genesis story of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph is that God is faithful to his promises and works through human sin and suffering to accomplish his purposes. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph were all chosen by God to be part of his covenant people and to inherit his blessings. However, they also faced many trials and challenges, such as family conflict, deception, famine, slavery and imprisonment. Despite their weaknesses and failures, God was with them and used them to advance his plan of salvation for the world. He turned their evil into good and their curses into blessings. He also taught them to trust him, obey him and forgive others. Therefore, this story shows us that God is sovereign over history and that he can use anyone for his glory.

.7. EXODUS

The Book of Exodus is one of the most important books in the Bible, as it tells the story of how God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and led them to the Promised Land. The moral of the Book of Exodus is that God is faithful to his promises and his people, and that he expects his people to obey his commands and worship him alone. The Book of Exodus also shows that God is powerful and holy, and that he can use any means to accomplish his purposes, even hardening the hearts of his enemies or sending plagues upon them. The Book of Exodus teaches us that we should trust in God's guidance and provision, and that we should follow his laws and celebrate his deeds.

.8. MYTHS FROM THE NIGHT SKY

In this blog post, I will summarize the main argument of an article by David Warner Mathisen, titled "The sacred celestial metaphors refute racism and sexism". The article can be found at the following URL: https://www.starmythworld.com/mathisencorollary/2014/10/the-sacred-celestial-metaphors-refute.html

Mathisen's thesis is that the sacred scriptures of humanity, such as the Bible, are not meant to be taken literally, but rather as allegorical and esoteric stories based on the movements and patterns of the stars. He claims that this celestial system of metaphors conveys a profound message that each and every human being contains a divine spark, which is hidden and obscured by our material existence. He also argues that this message is universal and inclusive, and that it refutes any form of racism or sexism that might arise from a literal interpretation of the scriptures.

Mathisen supports his thesis by providing evidence from various sources, such as:

- The ancient Egyptian concept of Amun or Amen, which means the hidden God, and which was used as a common greeting and a way of expressing the desire to manifest the divine in oneself and others.

- The Hindu greeting of Namaste, which means "I bow to the divinity in you" or "the divine in me recognizes the divine in you".

- The hand gesture associated with both Amen and Namaste, which is also found in ancient art and sculptures depicting sacred figures.

- The Greek philosopher Plutarch, who wrote that Amen or Amoun was a word that expressed both the hidden God and a common greeting for anyone.

- The ancient myths of various cultures, such as the Greek myth of Dionysus, the Egyptian myth of Osiris, and the Norse myth of Odin, which all depict a god who dies and is resurrected, symbolizing the cycle of death and rebirth of the soul.

- The zodiacal constellations, which correspond to different aspects of human nature and experience, and which are used as metaphors for spiritual transformation in the myths.

Mathisen concludes by saying that the celestial system of metaphors is a precious gift that can help us to awaken our inner divinity and to respect and honor the divinity in others. He says that this system can also help us to appreciate the beauty and harmony of nature and the cosmos, and to reconnect with our ancient heritage and wisdom.

.9. MY ALTERNATIVE IDEA

I think the constellations were possibly named so as to help people remember what the elders wanted to teach them about the elders' events or beliefs.
