Genesis must be literal; later writers refer to it as fact (Talk.Origins)

Claim CH102.2:


 * Genesis must be literal because writers of later books of the Bible refer to it as fact.

CreationWiki response:

These two Talk.Origins responses assume that Genesis is not historical. They also assume that the Bible is not the Word of God. If the Bible is the Word of God then the way that later books of the Bible refer to Genesis is important. Given that later books of the Bible refer to Genesis as fact, if one really believes that the Bible is the Word of God, taking Genesis literally is the only logically consistent position. This claim is aimed at those who believe that the Bible is the Word of God, not unbelieving scoffers like those at Talk.Origins.

O Gênesis deve ser literal; escritores posteriores se referem a ele como um fato (Talk.Origins)
