The Unacknowledged Accuracy of Genesis 1

I'm just not sold on the falsehood of Genesis. Obviously, none of us were there at the beginning of time (be that 6000 years or billions of years ago), but as far as I can tell the modern science that is supposed to disprove Genesis 1 has too many holes in it.

Gene 1:1 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Fortunately there is enough evidence for evolution and Genesis has been proven wrong

Evolution may never be proven conclusively.

The theory of gravity is a perfect explanation for our current observations.

There is no need to disprove the existence of God to disprove the creation myth in Genesis.

The Genesis creation myth as an accurate historical account has been falsified by astronomy, geology, biology, genetics and evolution.

Dont debate anything that happened before ...say...the book of Kings.

LOL - my sympathies. Its amazing how distorted the impression of the OT is. They even forget proper grammar in concluding two creation stories!

Like I said before; it is nonsensical to talk about proving or disproving the existence of God. Science cannot prove it either way, because science is about observations and something that cannot be observed by definition falls outside of the realm of science. Personally I also feel it falls outside of the realm of common sense, but that is a different story altogether.

First of all, I do not believe Genesis 1:1 is preposterous.

I think it is highly unlikely and that it defies common sense to believe in something so unlikely.

Science is by definition based on evidence.

The logical conclusion is that the theory proposed by science is more likely, simply because any evidence is better than no evidence at all.

The universe is full of galaxies and their stars. Probably, hopefully, there is other life out there and background light and maybe some ripples in space. There are bright objects and dark objects. Things we can see and things we can't. Things we know about and things we don't. All of it. This glut of ingredients could carry on in every direction forever. Never ending. Just when you think you've seen the last of them, there's another galaxy and beyond that one another infinite number of galaxies. No infinity has ever been observed in nature. Nor is infinity tolerated in a scientific theory - except we keep assuming the universe itself is infinite.It wouldn't be so bad if Einstein hadn't taught us better. And here the ideas collide so I'll just pour them out unfiltered. Space is not just an abstract notion but a mutable, evolving field. It can begin and end, be born and die. Space is curved, it is a geometry, and our experience of gravity, the pull of the earth and our orbit around the sun, is just a free fall along the curves in space. From this huge insight people realized the universe must be expanding. The space between the galaxies is actually stretching even if the galaxies themselves were otherwise to stay put. The universe is growing, ageing. And if it's expanding today, it must have been smaller once, in the sense that everything was once closer together, so close that everything was on top of each other, essentially in the same place, and before that it must not have been at all. The universe had a beginning. There was once nothing and now there is something. What sways me even more, if an ultimate theory of everything is found, a theory beyond Einstein's, then gravity and matter and energy are all ultimately different expressions of the same thing. We're all intrinsically of the same substance. The fabric of the universe is just a coherent weave from the same threads that make our bodies. How much more absurd it becomes to believe that the universe, space and time could possibly be infinite when all of us are finite.
