Professor Ellen van Wolde is a respected Old Testament scholar and author. She claims that the first sentence of Genesis has been wrongly translated, and instead of creating the world, God merely separated it. This revision comes out of fresh textual analysis and an investigation of the word "bara", which was thought to mean to create; however, van Wolde claims that it means "to spatially separate". Harvey and Phillip speculated on what this could mean and how it might effect religious ideas. Van Wolde also claims there were sea monsters that actually pre-date God! Enjoy this infinite and thought-provoking article.
