With God All Things Are Possible
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Jenkins, Siarlys, PUBLISHER: Xlibris Corporation, Genesis is a remarkable and uniquely sophisticated account of the Creation of the world. Comparison to any other account or tradition shows that this book, and this book alone, must have been inspired by someone who was there and saw it all happen. That would not have been Moses, nor any other human being born on the face of the earth. In the beginning, the earth was without form and void. There was no earth. It had to be formed - and even Genesis does not tell us on what day the earth was made. Deductive reasoning can give us some good possibilities, but Genesis does not announce it. When human societies are divided by debates over scientific theories vs. faith in God, the argument is seldom about science vs. Genesis. The debates are really about bad science, which we have wrapped around good revelations, vs.better science that is in truth anticipated by the Scriptural text. In the end, it is only old and obsolete science that is discredited, not faith. It is always a mistake to reduce what God can do to the level that our human minds can easily understand. An even more arrogant mistake is to assume that our human minds have mastered all there is to know about God's creation. Keeping the Gospel simple, so that all might be saved, is something God freely gave us. We do not have to first understand all the complex details of what God has done in order to be saved. A careful review of Scripture, especially Genesis, will reveal the foundations of everything science has ever produced. Everything. It is all in the Word. It always was. The appearance of conflict is a product of human reasoning. Some of this reasoning comes from within the church. Some of it comes out of the mouths of militantatheists. But human reasoning, wherever it comes from, is prone to error.
