Herman Cummings, Genesis Genius, Tells All!

At last, dear reader, we are told the secrets that were revealed to Herman Cummings, author (using the pen-name “Ephriam”) of Moses Didn’t Write About Creation!

It was only a week ago that we posted Herman Cummings, Genesis Genius — Again! In the comments section, some of you suggested that Herman should actually tell us what has been revealed to him, rather than complaining that the world won’t pay attention to him.

Rejoice! Herman has heard you, and in his latest essay he begins to disclose his heretofore hidden wisdom. Like the prophets of old he ignores the world’s scorn and he tells us what we need to know. Whether you listen to him is up to you. We are humbly doing our Curmudgeonly duty by bringing Herman’s words to your attention.

As before, Herman’s essay appears at a website called iNewp — the People’s Press. We still know nothing about them, but they’re willing to publish Herman’s articles, and for that the world should be grateful.

We present to you, dear reader, some excerpts from Creation vs. Evolution? Wake Up People!! It begins with what may well be the most powerful and thought-provoking opening paragraph ever to appear on the internet. Here it comes, with bold font added by us, and we also added a bit of color when it seemed appropriate:

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Fish, reptiles, and birds lay eggs. If these adult species are only given life by means of the egg hatching process, how did the first fish, reptiles and birds come into existence? Evolution? If so, why isn’t all life hatched out of an egg? Is this to be explained with the same sort of reasoning which produced the theory that a bear fell into a lake/river and became a whale?

You can easily see why Herman was chosen to receive a special revelation about the meaning of Genesis. We read on:

Let’s address the “chicken or the egg” question. An egg cannot just drop out of the sky, or wash upon the shore all by itself. An egg, which signifies life waiting to develop, has to be laid by a egg laying female animal, unless you want think up a theory on how the first egg materialized….; those that are in denial can go there. Therefore, let us focus on the female chicken, or actually the hen.

The hen can lay eggs without the rooster, but the eggs will not produce life (will not hatch). So little chicks can’t come into existence (in the wild or in the distant past) without the hen mating with the rooster. Therefore, both the hen and the rooster came first.

The age-old mystery is solved! We don’t know if that was revealed wisdom, or if it’s something that Herman reasoned out by himself. Either way, it’s impressive. Let’s continue:

But the world of science is biased at best, or a hypocrite at worst. When the discussion centers around how the heavier elements in the universe came into being, science will say that those elements are produced in stars in outer space…, where science has not been. Oh really? Where is the proof? Science will quickly dismiss the existence of the Creator, because of lack of “proof”. But when it comes to their own theories (stellar evolution, evolution of life), they fail to apply the same rules. That means that they must have a hidden agenda.

Got that? No proof, therefore … hidden agenda! Here’s more:

If science encounters another existence, such as another universe, with different rules of life, shall science deny the existence of that universe…, and pretend that it is not there? What about the finding of life forms that uses arsenic instead of phosphorus? Has science ignored that?

Ohhhhhhh! Another universe! This is deep thinking indeed. Moving along:

When God created this universe, He could have made life that was adaptable to any environment, based on any set of rules and/or compounds. I venture to say that God made certain forms of life, all across this universe…, because (original) mankind was supposed to explore and possess this whole universe. However, something went wrong about 700 million years ago, which is not a topic of this article.

What went wrong? Perhaps there will be additional revelations after this one. Another excerpt:

However, God made our universe 4.6 billion years ago. We found that out when mankind landed on, and returned rocks from, the Moon.

Herman is certainly no moon-landing denier! On with the article:

Therefore, Genesis 1:1 should be interpreted as “4.6 billion years ago, God created this universe, starting with the planet Earth”. Yes, Earth was the first, and is the principle celestial object in this universe. All of the other objects in this universe are at least two days younger than our Earth. So now, you should be able to determine that I am not “young Earth”, and that I embrace the literal meaning of the scriptures, unlike “old Earth” creationism. Reconciliation was achieved seventeen years ago.

Neither a young-earther, nor an old-earth creationist. What a revelation that must have been, 17 years ago! Herman continues:

In fact, all creationist doctrines are in error. They either deny scientific reality (young Earth), or deny the literal truth of Genesis (Day/Age, gap theories, theistic evolution, etc). I also consider Intelligent Design a waste of my time, and yours. So what is left on the table? The “Observations of Moses”.

Here it comes — that which was revealed to Herman:

There are no “creation accounts” in Genesis. There is no “evolution vs. creation” contest. Anyone trying to compare those two are trying to match oranges with apples, and doesn’t understand the facts, let alone the Genesis text. The question everyone should ask is, “What was God really conveying to mankind?”, when He revealed the ancient past to Moses.

What Moses saw was not Creation Week, but seven non-linear days revealed to him in one week, in a certain order.

Seven non-linear days! The mind boggles. Herman has truly transcended The Time Cube. The revelation continues:

The proof of a Creator was given to us in Genesis chapter one. But unfortunately, the worlds of Creationism and Theology have badly misinterpreted the scriptures, and refuse to learn the truth. God was conveying the concept of geologic time, by revealing one day from seven different eras, and not in chronological order. This alone proves the Divine authorship of the text, because science didn’t discover geologic time until 3,000 years after Genesis was written.

So put both creationism and evolution in the trash. Both are in error.

But … doesn’t Genesis talk about six days of creation? Oh, that’s okay — seven is fine with us. Thank you, Herman. Now we know.
