ABSTRACT

What does Genesis actually say about creation? Can we learn from a message sprung from so deep in antiquity?

In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. The earth was formless and void, darkness on the face of the deep, God’s spirit brooding over the face of the water. God said: “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw the light, that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light day and the darkness he called night. Evening, and morning. One day.
