God

I agree entirely that Genesis (though a beautiful and uplifting story) is not a believable explanation for creation.

Beyond question, our creator is that great yellow disc in the sky whose heat we depend on.

Perhaps this is why Jesus Christ has often been called the “sun” of man.

THERE have been several letters recently concerning the existence of God and natural evolution.

In my mind God created the world and, indeed, the universe as it is, not as we would wish it to be. The reason for this is, we are not God, can never know His mind, and He does not have our time line.

Of course, the creation story is true, but not in the detail.

Ancient people needed answers just as we do today, and the easiest way to supply those answers was to portray it in terms they could understand.

Take from the story the constraints of time, and it is remarkably close to the history of the earth.

Mr Bulmer’s assertion that we do not know how the world came into being is incorrect. Science has come up with a plausible best guess, and it fits the creation story.

The whens, whys and wherefores are not relevant.

What is relevant, is that God did this for us, and requires no more from us than that we live a life as holy as we can, and seek Him out through the love of Jesus, to live in His way.
