Creation of the universe.

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Greetings friends of steemit that GOD bless you.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth "(Genesis 1: 1)

This is the most profound and meaningful statement that has ever been made. And yet, we can verify that it is a statement that has certainly been questioned in our time. I believe that this verse is all we have in regard to creation itself - with the exception of the creation of man and animals, as we shall see later in this book. But this is the story of creation and I must admit that it is truly a short, concise story.

On one occasion the director of a newspaper was walking, at night, the offices of its reporters, when he noted that one of them was writing an extensive article on an issue that the director considered as unimportant. "Shorten it, summarize it!" Told him. "After all, in the book of Genesis, the story of creation was told in 282 words." The reporter replied, "Yes, but I have always thought that in the course of time we would have avoided many discussions if someone had simply written another 200."

It is interesting to note that God has truly given us a summarized edition. And the question arises. What will He have been thinking about when he transmitted this particular section to us? What was the purpose of the author here? Has it been your goal to teach Geology? There is a lot of controversy and disagreement at this specific juncture.
In some countries, the Biblical view of creation has been included in science books, which has had to satisfy some. But the question arises as to what level of knowledge of the Christian message or of Biblical knowledge can have those professors who teach the corresponding subject, as to expose this point of view in due form.

A professor of Biology commented once and with evident irony that the teaching of the so-called "theory of creation" has as little meaning as teaching about a theory of the stork in a scientific course on reproduction. Such a comment reveals an antagonistic attitude towards the Bible, as well as a lack of knowledge of it. It could be replicated, with the same irony, that the Bible deals quite literally with issues of reproduction without citing a theory about the stork at all, and does offer a coherent account of the history of creation.

The problem of the origin of life provokes heated debates, extravagant theories and great disagreements. More than any other Theme. Human hypotheses arise and, as a result, it seems to rise like a murmur of voices that has extinguished the clear voice of God. Currently, there are two extreme groups that have created confusion in this Theme, muddying the waters of understanding, due to their assumptions and dogmatic assertions. The first group consists of arrogant scientists who assume that biological and philosophical evolution is an indisputable truth. They have adopted the axiom of "safe discoveries of science", and we will talk about it in a few moments. The second group consists of theologians, also arrogant, who presume to have discovered and know how God has acted. They write and talk about some ingenious theory that reconciles science and the Bible and look with disdain at the great Biblical expositors of the past.

I would say that both groups would do well to meditate on that declaration of the Lord, when he appeared to Patriarch Job. It is found in the book of Job,

(Job 38: 4) "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you have intelligence."
In other words, God is saying to man: "You speak of the origin of the universe, but you do not know where you were when I laid the foundations of the earth."

There are many theories about how the world originated, but all of them can be reduced and adapted to a classification into two categories: one is creation and the other is speculation. All theories can, therefore, be included in one of these two classes.
