The notion of God as the Creator is wrong, claims a top academic, who believes 
  the Bible has been wrongly translated for thousands of years.

Published: 5:45PM BST 08 Oct 2009</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/6274502/God-is-not-the-Creator-claims-academic.html"><P>
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.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/6274502/God-is-not-the-Creator-claims-academic.html"><P>
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.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/6274502/God-is-not-the-Creator-claims-academic.html"><P>
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".
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/6274502/God-is-not-the-Creator-claims-academic.html"><P>
The first sentence should now read "in the beginning God separated the Heaven 
  and the Earth"
