What should we believe about creation?

High atop any list of questions about Christian faith is the subject of creation and evolution. Four facts are important. First: the Bible was not intended to be a science textbook. It tells us what we need to know to follow Jesus, not all we would like to know about the world he created.

Second: the Bible tells us that God created all that is (Genesis 1:1) and pronounced it good (v. 31). Third: the Bible doesn't tell us when God created the universe, because such information is of no practical significance to our lives.

Fourth: you are the greatest miracle you know. For instance, your brain contains 13,000,000,000 nerve cells. The number of atoms in the universe is 1 followed by 100 zeroes. The number of different patterns possible in your brain is eight times larger. And your unconscious brain database outweighs your conscious brain 10 million to one. You literally cannot imagine how remarkable you are.
