Faith Reality.

The book of Genesis has two different creation stories. First one is where God creates heaven and earth, and then creates the different animals as male and female creating man last also male and female. Then Genesis takes of the story again at the point that heaven and earth are already created, but says that God created Adam without a mate, and had Adam name all the creatures into being for God. It is left that these named creatures also had no mate and were also prototypes.

Another peculiarity of Creation in Genesis is that both the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil are described to Adam as being in the midst of the Garden of Eden. The only way Adam (or Eve) could have decided what tree was really there is by their intentions concerning this tree. The tree has been an avatar for the Divine throughout the Bible. What is important about this avatar is its relationship to the type of existence that Adam (and Eve) chose. They chose the material world instead of the spiritual world.

The writer of Genesis is explaining why reality is what it is. We are born, we live, and we die. We have no understanding of the timeless nature of the spiritual world any more than we can understand the lack of beginning or end of the material world.

Even if we conjecture the void in the  Bible's Creation story as being the multi-verse, and that the Big Bang was our world exploding into existence, it leaves unanswered the origin of the chaos of the multi-verse.

Because we are material beings in a material world, we have beginnings and endings for contemplation. There are plenty of people who are disastisfied with the limiting aspects of the material world. So they conjecture spiritual worlds that cannot be seen and that must be believed on faith.

Public Cooperation Is Not One Church of Thought.

There are fundamentalists who claim they are the only Christians and that the Constitution mandate against the establishment of a church only bars the government from controlling their churches. They insist that the government is obligated to abide by the church law of their own sect whichever one it is. Actually, the ban against an established church has precedent in the intertwining of church and state in the history of Europe during the middle ages. Every facet of life was controlled either by the church or the state, and one enforced the authority of the other. There was no room for independent thought. So when pagan knowledge was brought back from the Middle East by the Crusaders, there was a Renaissance of thinking and culture that allowed people to question everything about life. The king's religion was continued through the Protestant Revolution, but the Enlightenment that came with the Renaissance still separated peoples' religious thought from their secular though...

The Divine used as an excuse.

I find the Divine to be a poor excuse for demanding what anyone should agree to. If you have to force your beliefs on someone else, how do you know they really believe what you say? In ancient times, it was enough for the tyrant to declare how the Divine favored his (or her) regime. It really didn't matter to the poor guy at the bottom of the ladder what the monarch said. Life was not any better for believing it. It was only blasphemy against the tyrant that got anyone into trouble since the tyrant was always the Son of the Divine. It is not only in North Korea that the tyrant was considered God. Even the Roman Emperors were considered Gods which is the reason for the Greek word "blasphemy" was used in the Christian Gospel for the Sanhedrin deciding that Jesus committed blasphemy. They weren't saying that he declared himself their God. They were saying that he had declared himself a God equal to the Roman Emperor. The Western term God is derived from...

The blood sport.

Despite what Divine principles people claim to adhere to, it is a common characteristic of human nature to try to make oneself more important by demoting someone else. I suppose this is a natural phenomenon exhibited in nature with the pecking order. There are many excuses for declaring someone else as undeserving of natural rights. It's a bit of a simplification to say that these excuses involve biases concerning biology, religion, society, and economics. It's all been used. Whether it is gossip, heckling, or lying, it is a blood sport.
