Using an English dictionary to define Hebrew words, is kind of stupid. Genesis was NOT originally written in English.
That's from Strong's Concordance. Quit while you're behind. I'm not going to correct you every time you're wrong. You wouldn't believe the truth if I slapped you with it.

mudhead - Isaiah had nothing to say about Alexander The Great, or his Kingdom. Neither did Daniel, or any other Biblical prophet.
What BS are you going to fling next? Tell us that The Beast Of Revelation is Oprah Winfrey?
I already corrected myself. Scroll up a few posts. Daniel chapter 8 is a prophecy of Alexander's untimely demise at the height of his power and his kingdom being divided into four.
I was wrong. The Bible is right. Move on.

Let's put this prophecy debate to bed. Gaza was abandoned in the 2005 Bush deal. Israel inherited Palestinians. Israel was born in a day after suffering through the holocaust. Israel was gathered back in the exact order prophecied. Israel returned to Jerusalem. Israel's land went from desert to awesome. Israel defeated armies much larger in size. Israel exports food all over the world. All prophecied. All proven. End of story.
Third Temple to be built.
The tenth red heifer.
A false peace accord brokered by the Anti-Christ.
False Prophet at the Anti-Christ's disposal .
One World Government.
The Two Witnesses
WW3.
Seven year Tribulation.
Peace accord broke by the one who brokered it after the first 3 1/2 years of The Tribulation.
I could go on and on.
Fulfilled prophecies prove God's Living Word.
Armageddon.
Satan chained.
The Millennial Reign.
The New Jerusalem.
Satan loose for a season.
The Final Battle.
The Great White Throne Judgment .
The New Earth. (Heaven)
These are some of the big ones.
There are many more.
Highly intense.

You mis-read Strong's then. Try again. Also, cross reference with Young's. Then take some Hebrew lessons.

Young's literal translation of Genesis 1:1 reads "In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth"
Perhaps you misunderstood Young's Concordance as well.

Do you follow the Old Testament or New Testament?
Or do you pick and choose from both?
What about the scripture or books that were removed?
How do you know it's the true word of God when men wrote it?

Men wrote all the books of The Word of God, but they were inspired by God Himself.
They were human fountain pens if you will.
The books that were left out were not to be in.
Alot of theses authors wrote other related books but were not inspired in the manner as the books of God's Living Word.

Who wrote the bible?
The Bible wasn't written.
It was compiled.
Do you follow the Old Testament or New Testament?
The New Testament.
The Jews disobeyed God and He took the responsibility of religious teaching away from their Rabbis.
Or do you pick and choose from both?
The New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophesy; what's to puck and choose.
What about the scripture or books that were removed?
No scripture was removed. Study your biblical history.
When the 72 Rabbis translated the Torah from Hebrew to Greek they translated everything -- whether it was inspired, or not. This translation was called the SEPTUAGINT. This is the version which Jesus taught from.
When antiquities were approved to be gathered together and a book of these writings was approved a counsel of Rabbis met and made the determination of what was "God inspired scrioture" and what wasn't. Then "books" were organized by genre:eye witness accounts (gospel), law, history, vision etc.
Originally, all "books" were included in what became known as the Holy Bible (catholic printing 1610/KJV printing 16qq).
Into the future, publishers of 'bibles' were printing the non-inspired books as the Apocrypha, which was included in all original bibles.
Eventually, publishers (at their sole discretion) stopped publishing the Apocrypha as part of the Bible. [Cost effectiveness?  ]
The Catholic Bible still contains the non-inspired Apocrypha.
How do you know it's the true word of God when men wrote it?
Men didn't "write" it; they scribed (copied) what had been written in antiquity.
God told Moses to 'record' (write) what He told him and let the people know what God required of them.
I have a question for you ~~
How do you know the Bible isn't the Word of God?
Have a great day.

Cali -- please don't miss the big picture.
MEN did not WRITE the BIBLE.
GOD DICTATED HIS WORD TO MAN (Moses)
Moses was ordered by God to write it down (what God told him). Moses did as God commanded.
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years later those ORIGINAL writings (many of which DO exist) in parchment, papyrus, stone etc were gathered together and organized and made into a book we have access to called the Bible.
The Bible, Cali, only contains eight (8) differences today from the original antiquities of thousands of years ago.
Those differences are "words". Words which no longer existed, words which couldn't be translated because thevtranslation didn't exist (look at your KJV, or whatever Bible you have) look for the words in italics. Those words are not being "emphasized" they are representative of a replacement word for a missing it untranslatable word in the original antiquity.
The 'scribes' of the Bible were meticulous, religiously devout men. The did not corrupt God's word.
Don't allow the 'false prophets' running rampant in this world to sway or convince you of anything that God leads you to.
Amen.

At least you are pleasant in the way you present things. 
I was raised around and with religIon. I just don't buy into a lot of it.
I have my way of seeing things and that works for me.
In order for me to believe things I have to see them with my own eyes. Not because someone said so.
The fact is, that everything in the bible could be 100 percent true.
I just don't have a reason to believe that. No one has been compelling enough for me

Yes, many of men have and still do misuse The Word of God for the promotion of hate and ill gain.
Such is their reward.
They (all) will be dealt with accordingly by the very Word they misuse with purposeful malicious intent.
Woe to those individuals.
Your the Capitan of your ship calix.
Know your ship and all the components.
Don't assume what others tell you are accurate.
Study and search the scriptures yourself.
Not haphazardly of course.
It is your compass.
By the way , a true prophet cannot lie.
The gift of prophecy doesn't exist today.
The Word of God (written, not yet fulfilled prophecies) is complete and has been.
Revelation
Chapter 22 verse 19
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this Book.

Louie. Stars do emit sound waves. Sound waves themselves can not travel through space, but they can ride through space when traveling upon radio waves...which is what they do. It is the same with radio, and tv. They carry sound waves attached to radio waves. Ask a TV repairman, or a college Physics professor.

So the question becomes what would be compelling enough? In Hebrews it says that by the word of God what is seen was created from that which is unseen.
What the Bible can offer: 100% scientific accuracy (both on settled scientific issues and scientific discoveries proving the plausibility of debatable issues), 100% historical accuracy, 100% prophecy fulfillment to date with future prophecies to look for as well.
What athiests can offer: Selective science and conjecture. Historical inconsistencies in regards to their beliefs. Prophecies about Earth's future that are hardly more accurate than a horrorscope.
What will it take to make a convincing argument? If that argument is successfully made would you accept it?

You shouldn't have asked cat. Muldoon's reading comprehension sucks. Chapter two explains that the Garden Of Eden had plants and animals but the rest of the Earth still had not seen plant life, and God placed Adam in the garden.
Muldoon says stupid stuff like.... But, but, but... God said there were plants. He made man. Chapter 2 says God did it again.... CONTRADICTION I TELL YOU! CONTRADICTION!
Anyone with half a brain can tell that chapter two is just elaborating further on chapter one.

A few comments have accumulated that I need to comment on. I will comment on only a few of them here and hold the rest for later.
(1) First, Mudclean, you say: : “The biggest problem with Athiesm is the universe and everything in it. Once you get past that it's a feasible belief system.”
Well, the Universe is a problem for them, that's true, it's a big problem, but the biggest problem, in my opinion, is that Atheism is self contradictory and therefore necessarily false. The fundamental tenet of Atheism is that there is no God (that the God of the Bible, Jews, and Christians is a man made fable or whatever, and does not exist). Atheists even go so far as to pretend that they know this by reason. However, since it is a fundamental tenet of reason that it is not possible to prove an absolute negative, there exists no proof that God does not exist. Atheists take God’s non-existence on faith and faith alone. His nonexistence is the principal doctrine of their BELIEF SYSTEM. Atheism is a RELIGION that holds that the God of Jews and Christians, the Supreme Being who created man and angels, does not exist. Reason has absolutely nothing to do with it, for reason cannot prove his non-existence. So I do not agree that Atheism is “a feasible belief system once you get past the Universe”. Atheism is fundamentally flawed. The God of Jews and Christians, the Creator who made men, put it this way: “The fool says in his heart ‘there is no God’”. And if he does not know, who does? They are fools, self righteous fools. They are their own gods who will have no other gods before them. It is the submission thing that repels them from the Judeo-Christian God. After all, how can one God tell another God what to do? And that is their big hang up.
I feel sorry for Atheists, for they have no leg to stand on when contending with Christians. Although many Christians do not realize it, there is evidence and proof that God exists. Most Christians just take that on faith. But some Christians have seen him and talked with him, in a vision or a Life-After-Death experience, so they know for a fact that he exists. And, no, incredulity is NEVER a valid test for truth. It’s an Alice and Wonderland world and the most incredible and wondrous things exist in it. Whether it be God, angels, ghosts, UFOs, extra-terrestrial aliens, big foots, Loch Ness monsters, or whatever, you will never, ever, convince anyone who has ever seen these things that they do not exist, for, as they say, seeing IS believing. There is a special grace that goes with believing without seeing, but those who have seen, not only believe, they KNOW, for an absolute fact, and that is a rock solid faith that cannot be broken.
(2) Cup, you say to me: “You were doing a fairly decent job, Louie, until you posted:
“‘But there IS one Supreme Being that everyone in the Universe adores. How do I know this? Well, in a psychic experiment called telesthesia or remote sensing (remote viewing, the ability to see a distant and unseen target using extrasensory perception), which is documented in a YouTube video, they met extra terrestrial beings on a distant planet and asked them if they worshiped a God. And they were told that they all worship the “All” or the “One”. So, according to this, they all worship the Supreme Being as their God.'
“The history contained within the Bible are true and factual -- tangible, if you will. YouTube is entertainment, Louie. Fodder for the gullible to digest at will.”
Cup, you are gullible if you think everything on YouTube is “fake news” just because that is what the Major News Media would have you believe. Project VERITAS has just released videos of a Major News Media guy admitting in front of a hidden camera that they are not there to present the news, but there to form public opinion.
But I have a question for you Cup: What is it exactly that you object to in my post above? Do you object to extra terrestrial aliens being asked if they worship God? Or do you object to their answering that they do worship God? Or do you object to the existence of extra terrestrial aliens? And does any of this contradict the Bible?
Cup, true religion, true history, and true science do not contradict each other, for truth does not contradict truth. And so each of these can be used to shine a light on one another. In fact, in this thread we are, among other things, using true science to shine a light on the meaning and interpretation of Genesis. And there is nothing wrong with that. For true science does not contradict true religion.
If you are arguing that we should confine our discussion strictly to the Bible, you are arguing for a prohibition that is found nowhere in the Bible.
(3)Amusic, you assert that Gen 1.1, which describes God creating the plants and the animals, contradicts Gen 1.2, which describes God creating the plants and animals that had already been created in Gen 1.1.
This is a common argument used against the traditional understanding of Genesis. The argument attempts to show that inconsistencies exist between the first two chapters in the Bible. Critics and skeptics use it in their efforts to show the Bible cannot to be trusted. The particular issue that people have with Gen 2 is that the order of the creation of man, animals, and trees seems to be contrary to the order stated in Gen 1. However the argument is based on a misunderstanding of Gen 2.
Gen 2:7 describes the creation of man, and Genesis 2:9 mentions that God created trees, including the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Then Gen 2:19 describes the creation of certain land animals. At first glance this seems to be a contradiction because Gen 1 has the animals and trees created prior to the creation of man; however both issues can be resolved by an understanding of the original language and the translation process: the Hebrew word for “formed” in both passages is “Yatsar” The New King James Version translates the verb in its perfect form. However, this Hebrew word may also be translated in its pluperfect form. In this case, it would read that God “had formed” these creatures, as some other translations have it (e.g. ESV, NIV, etc.). For example, Gen 2:19 in the NIV states: “Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them.”
So this is not a Gen 1 contradicting Gen 2 problem, this is an incorrect translation problem. See the article: https://answersingenesis.org/contradictions-in-the-bible/do-genesis-1-and-2-contradict-each-other/
There are several more posts to comment on, but I will have to do that later, I am out of time right now.

Am not a Christian but know some historical facts.
Adam = first men, not first male ever to live.
Eve = first women, not first singular female to exist.
Some things get lost in translation.
Adam and Eve were the first people, it was not their names.
Rather describing the first groups of people in recorded history.

W6, you say: “Adam” = “first men” and “Adam was not his name.”
No, Adam was his name, and the name is singular, not plural, and the name means “Red”. He had red hair, which is a characteristic of some Caucasians.
And you don’t have to be a Christian, by the way, to know that there was a first man on Earth. The Earth is not eternal, it had a formation, a beginning, so there had to have been a first man on Earth.

Then it did its job.
And you did yours by providing the nails and swinging the hammer. Then making a mockery out of it.
Great job calix.
