一位頂尖教授今日聲稱聖經上說耶和華是天地創造者 這一概念是錯誤的，教授相信聖經被錯譯了數千年。 https://youtu.be/SlQz7ss-Xi8 By Richard Alleyne , Science Correspondent Published: 5:45PM BST 08 Oct 2009
教授說:經文上說當耶和華創造人類和動物時，地球早已存在了，埃倫車沃爾德(Ellen van Wolde)教授，一位受人尊敬的舊約學者和作者，聲稱創世紀第一句“起初神創造了天和地”~不是希伯來文正確的翻譯。
Professor Ellen van Wolde, a respected Old Testament scholar and author, claims the first sentence of Genesis "in the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth" is not a true translation of the Hebrew.
She claims she has carried out fresh textual analysis that suggests the writers of the great book never intended to suggest that God created the world -- and in fact the Earth was already there when he created humans and animals.
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"
