is one of the most important portions of the Bible. Good pedagogy
states that because of the law of first reference, we usually find
the key definition here. Do we want to understand God's thinking and
His mind on a matter? Then we need to consider the law of first

seven days of creation stated here, unfold God's mind on this
subject. "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel, Zondervan, 2004
- is an account of one man's journey from atheism and Darwinian
Evolution to a marvelous balance of understanding between Science and
God. Though the Bible is not a text book on science - yet when it
touches upon science - then it and true science do not disagree.</span></span></span></font></p>

humanists are so caught up in secularism and whatever is against God
and the Bible and His Son, that they are unable to receive truth when
it is positively and rationally presented.</span></span></span></font></p>

Strobel had a shock when his wife became a believer in God, His Bible
and His Son. He made an honest search as an attorney and a Journalist
to reevaluate his teen-age secular decision. He contacted 100 leading
scientists who found a harmony between science and the Bible. At the
end of his pilgrimage, he received the truth that the God of the
Bible and true science are in harmony.</span></span></span></font></p>

science, and a science falsely so-called! Honest searchers after
truth must be prepared to receive truth when it is clearly and

done so like Lee Strobel. Many are too caught up in man-made theories
to be able to recognize truth when it is honestly presented.</span></span></span></font></p>

is amazing how much of Biblical unfolding of truth all begins here in
Genesis. All true Judaeo-Christian revelation begins here. The Jews
see the 5 books of Moses (not the Documentary Hypothesis as set forth
by unbelieving Modernists) as the basis for all true humanitarian
teaching and understanding of God. They divide this portion they call
"Torah" - or teaching - into 54 portions, and annually according
to the lunar year starting at the Feast of Tabernacles, fully follow
it through. A number of Gentile believers who wish to understand
their Jewish Roots more accurately, attend for a while Messianic
Jewish Congregations. Over 15,000 Jews in Israel have returned to
this faith of their fathers. Many orthodox Jews are of the same
spirit as the scribes and Pharisees of Jesus day, and severely
persecute them.</span></span></span></font></p>
