Genesis 25 is primarily written in prose‚ but God’s words to Rebekah in poetic form about her pregnancy emphasize the importance of what He is saying to her and the fate of her sons.

The first major event in Genesis is creation. I believe this is history. I do believe that the world was created in seven days. To humans it would seem impossible

creation and evolution. Another one of the issues that puts science and religion on opposing sides‚ is the reading of Genesis 1-2 and how one should interpret the Bible. The Old Testament begins with Genesis‚ Genesis 1 describes the six days of God’s creation‚ and the seventh resting day. Genesis 2 goes more in depth about God’s creations and his connection to them.

Modernity is a complex word‚ but essentially means being on the same page with the rest of the world.

Amidst all the existing variations of the flood stories‚ the most renowned is undoubtedly the account from the Biblical book of Genesis. Although this version of the story shares many similarities in terms of the structure that it follows with pre-existing accounts such as Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh and previous Sumerian account; it can be argued that on the flipside there are many

In Global Perspectives last week‚ we discussed Genesis 1-3. This included the creation story. The story of creation is a look into the reasoning and the way in which God created the earth and everything upon it.
