What you believe about Creation and the beginning of time reveals much about your beliefs regarding Jesus Christ and the Bible. Scientists, historians, geologists, philosophers and even ministers often feel that they have to distance themselves from Scripture to be taken seriously in the "intellectual" community. They compromise their understanding of Scripture in order to address the conflict between their "science" and God's account of the Creation. They fall back on what they are sure is sound empirical evidence. But in so doing, they fall into the Enemy's trap--fooling them with their own egos and vanities.
"For the customs of the people are vain."
(Jeremiah 10:3)
Time and time again, science is replaced by new theories, new agenda as man foolishly seeks to outsmart God.
"By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
(Hebrews 11:3)
We must examine what we believe and why we believe it. Are we led astray by what we find to be intellectually satisfying, relying on our own faulty wisdom, or do we turn to the Word of God, infallible, timeless and everlasting?

I like this...A LOT! Someday you're going to have to just let me pick your brain about all you know! ...please ;)
Thank you so much for this post.

Thank you both for your encouragement. The Hebrews verse was in a Bible study I did today, and it lept off the page at me! We can't see with human eyes the process of Creation--just the beautiful product. The rest we have to "see" with our faith!
This may be the best post you have ever done! Miss janice
