Thanks Kathy...  I'm not sure, but it sure looks like a Norman Rockwell piece, don't ya think?

Voice-in-DC... I couldn't agree with you more.  But to tell you the truth, actually I'm amazed that the percentage of believers in creationism is so high, given the really small numbers of Americans (2%) who have actually read all the way through the Bible.  Let's be glad they put Genesis at the front, huh?

This schizophrenia has been induced by the government school system v. 1 hour of Sunday School class per week. Our minds must be transformed by the word of God to even have a semblance of sanity. Basically, it says that most people are bipolar in their thinking.

Jesus came that we might have atonement. I had one pastor that said that was at one ment or at one with ourselves. Our minds must be transformed by the Word of God which clearly states exactly how, and how long creation took place, period and via the geneological chronologies one can easily attain the age of the creation itself.

This is not at all to even go into all of the evidence that supports the creation model and into the lack of ANY support either mechanistically or actual for the evolutionary model.  

Thanks again, Voice.

There's tons of ways to approach all this.  The one I prefer is personalized...

 I wake up, draw my first breath of air and humbly admit... I didn't do that.  So I'm not the Creator, and I'd better find out who is.  Because like every created object, I too have an obligation to perform according to spec... ie, what I was purposed to be and do.  And give homage to my Creator.  Beyond that, I found this book left at the scene, which any forensic scientist absolutely would investigate.  It's self-validating through prophesies come true, through many of its writers being martyred rather than recant what they knew to be true, and through my personal experience having now read it many times through.  And apparently a billion other people have come to a similar conclusion.  In the book, it says God spoke things into existence, and immediately I know one thing... If He simply spoke and stuff appeared, that stuff HAD to look more mature than it really was.  One cannot adequately measure or falsify miracles using lab equipment.  And given our relatively minute knowledge of the universe-present (not to mention universe-past), it seems to be the height of presumption for men to assert they've made an airtight case for "no God -- only Evolution".  Their motive immediately becomes suspect.  In Luke 19, Jesus tells a parable of some men who vowed, "We will not have this man as king to rule over us."  And in the end, they lost.  Not the king.

But all this is just the first miracle in the first book.  What will people do with the miracles of Exodus?  Leviticus? ...And what shall I do with Matt, Mark, Luke & John asserting the God Himself loved me so much as to humble Himself and come die on my behalf?

This isn't just about Genesis.  The Bible has MUCH TOUGHER miracles to consider.  Praise God.
