Views Of Creation Episodes

Science and the Bible: how do they intersect?  Can we read the Bible and come away with a solid view of creation?  Should we fight it out as believers?  Reading the "literal" or "plain" six-day creation in the text seems a given for many of us.  We have been told by people we may trust that this is the *only* legitimate view of creation.  Those evil evolutionists are trying to destroy the authority of the Bible!! ....or are they? Join me as I discuss two views of creation: the literal, 6-day creation, and the possibility of evolution as a mechanism for creation.  (While I don't get into any of the science of that, presented here are a number of resources you can dig in to the topic yourself!)  **New website is here!!! www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot Genesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/ Dr.…

Exploring two views of creation: the analogical view (the days of creation are analogically similar to the workweek of the Israelite, but the days are not necessarily 24-hour days) and the literary view (Genesis 1 is literarily designed to give us theological truth). Both of these views ask the question, “What is Genesis 1 supposed to teach us?” The episode concludes with the question of how to date Genesis--are there enough literary clues in the text to help us figure that out? (Stay tuned for further episodes exploring this question!)

Several views of creation are introduced and in particular John Walton’s “functional” or “identity” view of creation is discussed. We look at how that fits into the Bible and explore whether or not this is the likeliest way the ancient person would have thought regarding the creation of the cosmos by looking at some ancient Near Eastern creation accounts.
