The Genesis Distortion: agnosticism and creation
SYNOPSIS: We engage in the so-called “culture wars” on an entirely mistaken premise; that there is one Biblical creation account “The Biblical Creation story”, and it is found in the first couple of chapters in Genesis. On that false assumption, a vast inverted pyramid of doctrine is balanced. There are at least seven vastly different Biblical creation accounts in the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament, as some still call it). In today’s brief presentation and discussion, we shall examine perhaps three of them, and see how our teaching has been skewed by the Genesis distortion.
