"Dr. Don Batten tells of a year 2 student at another evangelical
college who said how they were taught that Genesis was not a scientific or historical account of creation but rather it was a “theological statement”.
Don asked, “What does that mean?”
The student replied, “Well, Genesis is simply teaching us that God created things and that man was created in his image.”
To which Don said, “Well, then, we have a direct conflict with the claims of science here:
*evolutionists claim that the universe was not created; it popped into existence all by itself.
*Furthermore, they claim that apes evolved into people; God did not create a man from dust and a wife from his rib.
So, *either science is making theological claims, *or the Bible is making scientific claims; they are in conflict.”
“Good point”, the student conceded." CMI
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
Exodus 20:11
