You can expect skepticism from atheists, and evolutionists, concerning historical accuracy of early Genesis, where it describes seven (24-hr) days in Earth’s prehistoric past. It’s not all their fault. The fossil record of death, preserved for us by mother Earth, is an undeniable testament of several eras of life forms living and dying in the past. It is scientific reality.
But when creationists and theologians try to convey to us what they think is written in Genesis, they give ammunition to the opposing side. Those that preach “young Earth” doctrines misrepresent Genesis, and are actually teaching foolishness, giving us incorrect literal interpretation of scripture. Those that teach “long days” and theistic evolution are infidels, calling God a liar, and compromising with the opposing side. After defining the work week, God specifically told Israel that He had created the universe, the Earth, and all that is in it in six days…., the same six days that Israel was to do it’s work, and to rest on the seventh day. When God told Joshua to march around Jericho for seven days, did God mean something other than 168 hours?
God created all science. God co-authored the book of Genesis. Therefore, Genesis is a book of “advanced” science. It is the only book given to humanity that tells us of events that took place on Earth before the advent of modern mankind, namely Adam and Eve, which did not arrive until about 7200 BC. Genesis specifically states that humanity existed on Earth, in God’s image, before Adam and Eve were made. But the worlds of creationism and theology fail to realize this.
But the truth of Genesis will be known, no matter how hard those of religious persuasion try to deny it, and try to keep it hid from mankind. For it is they that are to blame for giving us false teachings, and trying to keep their ignorance of the truth from being exposed.
How many times have you heard someone say “ Genesis is not a book of science”? They were not an expert on Genesis. They seem to think that the writers of the Bible looked to their own understanding and wrote the scriptures, creating myths of our origins from legends that they had heard or learned from others. But it is the opposite that is true. Surrounding nations had bits and pieces of ancient stories told to them by their fore-fathers, who had gotten them from the sons of Noah.
After God made Adam, it is reasonable to assume that sometime later, he asked God how everything came into being. God may had shown Adam the same thing that He showed Moses, but it wasn’t written down and was carried by word of mouth from generation to generation, being distorted every time it was re-told.
But God reset the record, and revealed to Moses what happened in past eras on Earth, which modern science is only in the last 200 years beginning to discover, proving that Genesis is divinely inspired, and a book of advanced science.
