And here is where we part company. The Bible self claims to be the Word of God. If the Word of God is fallible in Genesis, ie, it's wrong,
then you have nothing to hang your belief on in the new testament, because Jesus Himself (was He a liar or not a part of the trinity/deity?) affirms the validity of Genesis in multiple references.
Read some AnswersInGenesis. They have articulated it much better than some "decorated dust" on a message board.
I agree with you, MrB — Scripture is true, not false.
And as soon as I write that, some FReeper is going to come along providing evidence of its being false, thus revealing their low estimation of it.
If Jesus was present at creation, indeed if all things were created *through* Him, then He was able to “correct” misunderstandings of the creation of humanity as they were commonly understood at the time. But rather than correcting anything, He affirmed it.
If it’s good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me. The Father will not fault me for believing as Jesus did/does.
