Creation: From Chaos to Cosmos
Series Genesis
Why Study Genesis? In a modern world with science and sophistication, why would we dare go back to this ancient creation story? Why would we dare to look so foolish as to ask people if they believe in this God, who created the world out of nothing?
Well, as long as the world is moving along fine, just as we hope it will, then we don't need to study it. But when the computer breaks, you reach for that manual.
Apollo XIII – Get in touch with every engineer and every designer of every piece of electronics on that spaceship. Then get in touch with every assembly line worker who put it together, if there is a light bulb that has one extra amp of electricity, I want to know it.
Well, if I may be so cheesy as to offer a metaphor—this little spaceship that is orbiting the sun every 365 days, has gone awry, and we need to reach for the owners manual. I want to suggest that everyone does this, they go back to their meta-narrative, their story that makes sense out of the world for them. What is the best one?
