Actually, Christians have always had differences of opinion over Genesis 1.
It should be the case that even a (Atheist) Scientist, would be able to believe that you can't have Creation without a Creator.
And that does not just apply to the supposed "Big Bang" Theory.
Can a book write itself?
Can a song write itself?
Can a Oil Painting paint itself?
Can a Automobile create itself?
A Jet Airliner?
The Titanic?
Sure, you can PROGRAM
AI to create, but,
AI was also CREATED and you have to program it.
Also....Did the universe Create itself?
It takes a lot more faith to believe that matter spontaneously created itself out of blank nothingness, then it takes simple faith to look around and see the order of the universe and the beauty of creation, as a incredibly impressive Divine Hand.
And reader, if you need something more to help you invest faith in God... In Christ.
Then might i point out, that every day, there is a beautiful sunset where you are...
Have you seen one lately?
You should go look for one...
And here is the thing.. .. only YOU, the HUMAN Being, made in the image of God, perceives BEAUTY.
A snake, does not perceive a beautiful sunset., nor does a cat, a rat, a fox, a hound, a pig, nor a honey bee.
Why is that?
Because God created beauty.....as He is a Divine ARTIST, who sees BEAUTY as Creation... and we are manifesting this same insight, when we perceive beauty.
This SEEING BEAUTY, is a "
God thing"... And God only gives that PERCEPTION, to "let us make man in OUR Image".
