What do you think is the purpose of Genesis 1? When you hear “creation” does it immediately contrast with evolution? Does the Bible’s creation account speak beyond our faith and science debate? What did Genesis, which was written so many centuries before us, mean back then? Why does it emphasize the things it does and why do those emphases matter now?
