When we read Genesis, we often bring modern questions to an ancient text.
Science asks: How did the universe form?
Genesis asks: Who is behind it, and why does it have order and meaning?
In the ancient world, creation stories weren’t about timelines or chemistry — they were about authority, purpose, and order. Genesis boldly declares:
- There is one God, not many
- Creation is intentional, not chaotic
- Humanity has value and responsibility
Rather than competing with science, Genesis lays the theological foundation that makes science meaningful: a rational, ordered universe worth studying.
