What Genesis Got Wrong

Genesis 1 makes specific claims about the order of creation: light before the sun, land and vegetation before sea creatures, birds before land animals. This series checks that sequence against physics, cosmology, and biology verse by verse, asking whether the text was simply wrong or whether it anticipated things its authors could not have known. Dr. David Neiman walks through the parallels scholars have proposed, starting with the puzzle of "days" passing before the sun exists to mark them. The film also stages the argument between camps: young-earth creationists like Ken Ham and Kent Hovind, who read the chapter literally, against writers like Andrew Parker and Gerald L. Schroeder, who argue for a reinterpretation that lines up with current science. Topics covered include the formation of the sun, moon, and stars, and whether the biblical order of land, sea, and vegetation matches the geological record. The series does not settle on one answer, instead laying out where the text holds up, where it strains, and where it flatly contradicts what science has since found.
