One of the interesting things that has happened in recent years is the verification of Genesis by science. The first words in the Bible are "In the beginning ws the Word". Science has verified the "In the beginning" part with the Big Bang theory. Now I am sure that many have thought that when the Bible said "the Word" they thought it was a metaphor or some indirect allusion to God. However, the discovery of DNA has verified that in the beginning was "the Word", that it was meant literally. It is the information in DNA that is the source of life, it is the particular arrangement of the codes that makes life possible.
Ha haha haha ha! Stretch things much?
