wow that was one of the worst articles i've read in a long time. I think i am now dumber for having read that horrible interpretation of the Creation myth. Any amount of basic research would have revealed the fact that the hebrew creation myth stems into a long tradition of Ancient Near Eastern creation myths such as gilgamesh, and other babylonian and assyrian acounts. The language used is not that of polytheism, but that of henotheism. Henotheism is the belief that there are many Gods but one is superior and you should only worship and follow one. However, the use of Elohim is not a plural in the sence that it has a plural meaning. I doubt if the author has studied any hebrew at all. The "im" ending is the absolute masculine plural ending sure i'll give you that, however, there is a pattern in hebrew of refering to things that should be revered in the plural. The Royal "we". Paul even uses this because he is such a self absorbed jerk (in my mind). But paul thought he was so authoritative and to be revered he often referes to himself in the first person plural. This is common in the Hebrew mindset.

Please spend a little time in research. There are such good solid arguments against christianity that i can not be one, however mine come from years of research and study. These criticisms are shameful ad hoc attempts to discredit christianity at all costs (especially logic). come on.
