[GCFL-discuss] In the beginning...

[gcfl-discuss at gcfl.net]

OK, enough controversy for a while. I have some personal trivia to share.
Is it an OK bit of things-in-my-life that I just published a modest book
on creation? My perspective is, if one person begins with the premise "In
the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth," while another
person begins with the premise, "Things all started with a random quantum
flux," they can each look at exactly the same set of scientific data, and
say "See, this proves my point." Going with the first premise, I find
that the real strength and beauty of Genesis is not that it stands like a
granite rock, unmoved by recent scientific theories. The real glory is,
everything science has identified in the last century or two has been in
Genesis from the very beginning -- only us ignorant falliable humans
couldn't understand it. I mean, how did Moses know that it all began with
a tremendous burst of light, without having the aid of the Hubble
telescope or anything like that?

If anyone should ever run across the book, you'll know it's mine, because
it is published under the same author name I use in this discussion
group.
