Genesis and Matthew

I hear that there is an 'evolution/creation' debate on national television but that stuff is merely a by-product of an era that is lost in matters of faith,astronomy and terrestrial sciences.

Genesis contains a framework common to most narratives that have a large scale creation/destruction cycles attached and not exclusive to the Judaeo-Christian texts. The reader is drawn to the intricate features of these structures but they will mean nothing to those who can't be inspired.

The most obvious clue is the breaking of the formula in the genealogical chain 'Then he died' at Enoch among the 10 Patriarchs spanning Adam to Noah. Of all the exaggerated lifetime values, the author attaches 365 years to the lifetime of Enoch indicating the artificial structure across the entire narrative including the first 7 days of Genesis 1.

As Adam was created on the 6th day and also forms a link in the genealogical chain,it prevents the reader from trying to partition Genesis one from the rest of the text which ends at Genesis 7 V 11 . Genuine astronomers have an natural affinity for these things as works of art more than just a mathematical endeavor insofar as it enhances appreciation of the text as these structures protect the text from reckless interpretation,something which unfortunately exists today in terms of the 'evolution/creationism' thing.

Genesis has therefore an artificial mathematical/geometric facet where the number of weeks between the creation of Adam to the first drop of rain of Noah's flood amounts to 86,400 weeks remembering that this is the amount of seconds in one day. This was first proposed by Julius Oppert -

The timekeeping element in the genealogical structure is more developed in the genealogical structure of Matthew which is gorgeous in form and function.The gift of God is not to insert an unwarranted interpretation into these structures but to admire them for what they are and this goes all the way up to the spectacular Book Of Revelation.Like all works of spirit,these works are a gift of God but impenetrable for the spiritless and the unintelligent.
