-
The accounts in Genesis were carried forward by oral tradition and passed on from generation to generation before they were written thousands of years later.
-
It's "Eden," and the account was written by those who had heard the story handed down through the generations.
-
God was there as well. The whole bible being inspired by God he was able to inspire Moses to write the account. To illustrate think of a Boss dictating a letter to a secretary. The Secretary may do the actual writing, even wording things in a way that she is accustomed to doing or in accordance with her education but the actual thoughts or ideas belong to the boss. Ultimitly he is the author as God is in the case of the bible.
-
Some of the accounts in Genesis were told in a story fashion, so the people of those days could easily understand.
-
I think Moses wrote the first few books of the bible. He was able to write about the events *after* they occured.
-
Moses wrote the account we have today in Genesis. He learned it either by direct inspiration- God just told him, and that's how he learned it- or it had been told to him, passed down from Adam to his children, so Moses learned it there, and God used him to write that account in the exact wording he wanted.
