CHAPTER 1
Before Adam—Creation and Chaos
“Certainly the bible is the source of my religion,” stated a modern-day professing Christian. “however, we all realize that the first eleven chapters of Genesis are MYTH.”
This outlook immediately presents a problem: if the first part of the bible is questionable—so the rest would also be.
Bible True From Very First Verse
The bible’s answer to this modern concept is clearly stated in Psalm 119:160, Jewish translation: “the BEGINNING of thy word is TRUTH.” God knew the opening portion of the bible would bring forth the most controversy. Therefore he has backed up its absolute validity IN PLAIN LANGUAGE.
The BEGINNING OF ALL THINGS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. If man cannot know where and how he began, he cannot know where he is going. But, if he has the correct start, the rest of the way becomes clear. The bible, and the bible alone, gives man the correct start in understanding the origins of all elements of his universe, world, and society. Without that correct start, man can never arrive at the true answers to his questions and problems. He will simply continue to grope aimlessly—“… ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Modern “scientific” man, having dispensed with god as superstition, IS groping around in his intellectual vanity! In his vain search for Godless explanations of origins and beginnings, while clinging to the idol known as Science, he has come up with two basic science fiction ideas: Evolution and a phantom called “PREHISTORY.”
