reading the bible as an atheist could go one of two ways its words could be compelling
enough to convince a current non-believer that there is a floaty man in the sky
or it could further cement their position because it really does just sound like a sack of poop
stick around as we dive into the old testament genesis chapter 5.
hello i'm the skeptic i watch videos on youtube that make extraordinary claims whether that's
evolution is fake or atheism is wrong but mostly the claim that a god is real and then explain why
i don't accept their position before we start today's video if this isn't your first skeptic
video do the things with the buttons that will be superb atheists need to read the bible then
they'll stop being dirty gross non-believers okay since it's requested so much i'm going to read the
bible chapter by chapter i live in the bible belt of america and the common used bible around here
is the awfully written king james version so i guess that's what i'll read and since i'm just
picking it up i have no context and for those that say you should get context from scholars if i care
to do that i would but this is just an initial reaction to what it says this is what the entire
chapter says then we'll go through verse by verse pointing out what i think is silly this is the
book of the generations of adam in the day that god created man in the likeness of god made he him
male and female created he them and blessed them and called their name adam in the day when they
were created and adam lived 130 years and begat a son in his own likeness after his image and called
his name seth and the days of adam after he had begotten seth were 800 years and he begat sons and
daughters and all the days that adam lived were 930 years and he died and seth lived 105 years and
begat enos and seth lived after he begat he lost 807 years and begat sons and daughters and all
the days of seth were 912 years and he died and enos lived 90 years and begat kanan and enos lived
after he begat kanan 815 years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of enos were 905 years
and he died and kanan lived 70 years and begat mahalaliel and kanan lived after he begat mahalo
840 years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of canaan were 910 years
and he died and mahalalial lived 60 and five years and begat jared and mahalalil lived after he begat
jared 830 years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of mahalalia were 895 years
and he died and jared lived 162 years and he begat enoch and jared lived after he begat
enoch 800 years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of jared were 960 in two years
and he died and enoch lived 60 and five years and begat methuselah and enoch walked with god after
he begat methuselah 300 years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of enoch were 365 years
and enoch walked with god and he was not for god took him and methuselah lived 187 years and begat
lamech and methuselah lived after he begat lamech 780 in two years and begat sons and daughters and
all the days of methuselah were 969 years and he died and lamech lived 180 in two years and begat
a son and he called his name noah saying this same shall comfort us concerning our work and
toil of our hands because of the ground which the lord hath cursed and lamech lived after he begat
noah 595 years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of lamech were 777 years
and he died and noah was 500 years old and noah begat shem ham and japheth do we even have to
go on the bible is saying that some folks lived well into their hundreds and we know that doesn't
happen this is the book of the generations of adam in the day that god created man in the likeness
of god made he him can't wait so far i've really enjoyed this book contradictions and all male and
female created he them and blessed them and called their name adam in the day when they were created
i've since discovered that the word adam is some kind of translation for man so he called both of
these creations man which could get confusing since now everyone has the same name where have
you been man oh i was hanging out with man but at man's house yeah man came over and told us about
man man that man is certainly something and adam lived 130 years and begat a son
in his own likeness after his image and called his name seth what on earth happened to cain and
abel just killing those characters off since their story was a little bit rubbish and the
days of adam after he had begotten seth were 800 years and he begat sons and daughters 800 who on
earth has ever lived to 800 i'll tell you no one and all the days that adam lived were 930 years
and he died how is that believable unless adam is all adam sorry humans so all the humans lived for
a collective 900 years which we know isn't the case or one human called adam left for 900 years
which we also know could never happen and seth lived 105 years and begat enos at 105 years old
well i hope i'm that active if i reach that age and seth lived after he begat enos 807 years
and begat sons and daughters well at least they're giving it a go at explaining where all the people
came from though there's definitely a lot of in-family mating going on and all the days of
seth were 912 years and he died as stories go it's not very gripping is it tom was born tom
had a lot of sons and at 9 trillion years old tom died at no point does it say who the mothers of
any of these people were was this still eve is she still alive i mean a couple of thousand years have
passed which doesn't actually tally up with this year or anything but let's not open up that can of
worms and enos lived 90 years and begat kanan well let's hope that kanan picks the last name abel
because then he can be kane and abel and that at least ties up another loose end i tell you
i should have written this book and enos lived after he begat kanan 815 years and begat sons
and daughters okay okay we get it people live a long time and have lots of kids i still don't see
any evidence of folks living that long but okay bible okay and all the days of enos were 905 years
and he died starting to realize these folks didn't achieve much nothing was written about they lived
and died at least the first two supposed humans had a whole fruit tree story and their kids had
murder and incest these lot a dull dull dull and kanan lived 70 years and begat mahalali
and kanan lived after he begat mahalo leo 840 years and begat sons and daughters but i think
at this point we've stopped caring how long bible characters live and that they had children and all
the days of canaan were 910 years and he died at least the previous chapter had a little something
to take on board this character analysis doesn't give you anything how we supposed to write erotic
fan fiction when we have nothing to go on and mahalo leo lived 70 in five years and begat jared
how on earth are you meant to react to regular goings-on this book is supposed to be the word
of something supernatural right so far it just says lots of babies were born and people live a
lot longer than is possible and mahalalial lived after he begat jared 830 years and begat sons
and daughters well i didn't see that coming and all the days of mahalalia were 890 and 5 years
and he died is this why folks don't discuss the supposed ages of the biblical first humans because
this chapter is so dull they just skip it and jared lived 160 in two years and he begat enoch
and jared lived after he begat enoch 800 years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of jared
were 960 in two years and he died well i know what not to include in the book of lisa the rainbow
giraffe leafy upon her lisa pooped a human into existence their name was a liar then she pooped
another into existence their name was aaron this makes the most sense alphabetically those humans
had a couple of babies and lived to their mid-80s but because of genetics and incest lisa the
rainbow giraffe pooped out a few more humans as needed that's much clearer and enoch lived 60 and
five years and begat methuselah and enoch walked with god after he begat methuselah 300 years and
begat sons and daughters and all the days of enoch were 360 years well it's a shame to start grouping
these together but i mean what else can you do with the worst written chapter in history i would
think that many folks reading the bible would have given up by now there's no proof of god in
any of these verses there's not even a mention of god well at least until and enoch walked with god
and he was not for god took him was not what he was not eating cheese did god take him to a cheeks
factory and why is it only enoch walking with god there's no mention as to why so it seems a little
pointless and methuselah lived 187 years and begat lamech and methuselah lived after he begat lamech
780 in two years and begat sons and daughters and all the days of methuselah were 969 years
and he died wait i thought lamech was the son of methusel was it just spelled wrong in the previous
chapters or is it a mistake and how do folks like this book it's so repetitive and lamech lived 182
years and begat a son and he called his name noah saying this same shall comfort us concerning our
work and toil of our hands because of the ground which the lord hath cursed well that makes zero
sense is this just saying that one day noah will be there when the land loses its curse if this is
supposed to be a prophecy or something predicting the great flood it's really not because that
hasn't ever been demonstrated to have happened it's more like a spoiler for a really bad upcoming
chapter and lamech lived after he begat noah 595 years and begat sons and daughters and all the
days of lamech was 707 years and he died well at least they're not living quite so long now which
actually doesn't make it any more believable but whatever and noah was 500 years old and noah begat
shem ham and japheth well it's nice to know some more characters but it's still lacking in any real
depth i guess we'll get that in the flood get it depth water flood no okay then genesis chapter 5
was actually pretty lame and repetitive but at least we got a cool song from it that i guess
weaker skeptic genesis chapter 5 has read but to be honest i won't be coming back to it
