There was nobody around to see it unfold. There are too many details
that are described by somebody who was actually there seeing it all.
What are the chances of a bedouin around 3500-4000 years ago sitting in
the middle of the arabian desert and coming up with the sequence of
events narrated in Genesis without the benefits of our current level of
scientific knowledge? Specially if Genesis is compared with other
narratives of how life came to be.
