I can't twist my head around it telling a creation story of anything other than this world and maybe the solar system (the creation of the Sun).

I have a science degree (MaIT) and there are observations that just can't be ignored - and as such you need to read genesis with this in mind. I found that genesis doesn't really conflict with the current established scientific theory of how our solar system was created (the order of such from the earth's perspective). But if you look further (where is our solar system placed?) which function does the entire milkyway galaxy serve? What about the relatively near Andromeda? Or any of the uncountable other galaxies out there. What purpose does those serve in the great scheme of things?


given the above i have to say i feel no obligation to fit or reinterpret genesis as clearly stated because you believe it must be. My op follows what the bible says, not what others decide it must say. If you must reitpreit the bible, maybe the bible is false? or maybe it is correct and the current materialistic atheistic explanation is false, it must be one or the other. So as far as my op and what was said, it follows what the bible says not how you decide it must say because you believe it otherwise would be false. So our discussion in my mind has nothing to do with op or bible so i must only respond to on topic of op post from here on out. Your thoughts and views will fit perfectly with my next thread.
