Mosaic Church Of Clayton

I grew up in a culture where if you didn’t believe in a literal creation of the earth in six days with a day of rest, you weren’t really Christian. In fact, we were trained to argue it in our schools….to not let that scientific education get the best of us. Now, I believe that God could have created the world in six days if God wanted to. But I do not believe that arguing that was ever the point. I think that is also why we have two creation accounts. In the chapter immediately following this one, there is another account and in some traditions, like the one I grew up in, we mix the two, picking and choosing and saying that you have to understand just what we have picked from the two stories literally.
