Genesis
Question
Hello. In the question about the firmament in the Book of Genesis, the Rabbi wrote that there are several other things that do not work if taken literally [in the description of the days of creation]. Can the Rabbi give a few examples?
Answer
It would be worthwhile to give a link here to the question you’re discussing. In general: the timing of when the luminaries were hung in place, water above the firmament, the duration of creation, and so on. You’ll find a list on any atheist website.
