From the perspective of modern science, the Genesis story of the universe and man as created in six days is a nice but preposterous story. Yet modern science has also uncovered two remarkable truths that support belief in a Divine Creator and in Genesis as morally true.

First, in contradiction to chance, the hard rules of physics are closely tuned to make life possible. This makes a Divine Creator not just scientifically plausible, but perhaps even required.

Second, as reflected in the most recent Noble Prize award in physics, the reality of quantum entanglement gives consciousness a grounding distinct from matter. In other words, not only is consciousness real, but Max Planck's surmise that matter comes from consciousness may well be correct and provable by physics.

With that in mind, to me, Genesis is true but not to be taken literally.

If God is not capable of creating in six days then the other miracles of the Bible get called into question as being real or just fables.

It’s a parable to explain how we came to be
