      We take Adam’s and Eve’s word that that voice was God. But how can they know that it was the creator god?

      • First of all, Adam and Eve didn’t write the bible. You aren’t even getting THEIR recounting of a story, you’re getting the story recounted thousands of years later by some dude in the Middle East.

        Second: In Christianity, God wrote the bible through others. That is why it is called the “word of God.” So if you’re a believer, you’re getting told by God himself what happened.

          The story of Adam and Eve is older than the Christian part. The dude in the Middle East must have heard it by word of mouth.

          But if it came by inspiration from God, how does the dude know that it is the omni-powerful creator god and that the story is true?

            Yeah. God’s mouth. Or so they claimed. 😌

            God gave me some gold tablets that say all this. What? No, God said I can’t show them to you. Just trust me, bro.

            The story written by the dude in the middle east would have been Jewish, because the old testament is part of their Torah.

            But if it came by inspiration from God, how does the dude know that it is the omni-powerful creator god and that the story is true?
