The Bible begins at the beginning – the story of creationIt is important that we read this passage as a story and not as a scientific account(I do not have a problem with people trying to harmonize it with science, but that was not how Genesis was written nor how it was meant to be read)- stories have a plot, characters, setting and mood• in this story, the universe does not merely exist by itself◦ it has an Architect, a Creator – and he has a purpose for it• each new addition as it unfolds, is inspected and approved◦ once the project is complete, all of it is very good- the goodness of the created world is repeated and celebrated in the Old Testament
