meditations for an everyday relationship with Jesus

Creation or science?

Genesis 1:31 God saw all that He had made, and it was very good. Evening came, and then morning: the sixth day.

John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

2Peter 3:8 Dear friends, don't let this one thing escape you: with the Lord one day is like 1,000 years, and 1,000 years like one day.

What we have to take away from Genesis is this: we do NOT have to choose between creation and science. God does not require it and Jesus did not die for it. Our salvation is not affected by our belief in six days or six ages of creation. God’s time is not our time.

What we must understand is that God saw all that He had created, and that it was good. Scientists and believers alike are required to understand creation in terms of faith because faith is the only avenue to an answer. The final step in any process is faith.
