Archduke Ferdinand found alive; WWI fought by mistake.

Jews and Christians have been mistranslating the Bible for thousands of years. Genesis does not say that God "created" the world.

Prof Van Wolde, 54, who will present a thesis on the subject at Radboud University in The Netherlands where she studies, said she had re-analysed the original Hebrew text and placed it in the context of the Bible as a whole, and in the context of other creation stories from ancient Mesopotamia.

She said she eventually concluded the Hebrew verb "bara", which is used in the first sentence of the book of Genesis, does not mean "to create" but to "spatially separate".

The first sentence should now read "in the beginning God separated the Heaven and the Earth"

According to Judeo-Christian tradition, God created the Earth out of nothing.

Tradition, smadition...we're talking science here.

Furthermore:

A spokesman for the Radboud University said: "The new interpretation is a complete shake up of the story of the Creation as we know it."

Prof Van Wolde added: "The traditional view of God the Creator is untenable now."

I'll just bet all the rabbis, pastors and bishops are feeling pretty darn foolish right now.
