Re: Genesis should be treated just like any other theory that no longer serves a purpose
I think you are talking like Genesis is a scientific Theory. It is a faithful book and holds many possibilities. There is nothing that it doesn't explain. It may hold a lack of scientific input - but that's all. It is not a theory, it is a book of faithful scripture.

Ofcourse. We can take it as a truth that God created the heaven and the earth. Do you think he created them?
When I was in malbulga's realm he told me many lies.

Re: Genesis should be treated just like any other theory that no longer serves a purp
If you think God created the universe then you agree somewhat with Genesis. Why throw the account away because it might seem to disagree with science? It is a book of the 'why' like you said. You're right that God made the universe independent of Genesis - but do you believe in the God of Abraham?

Re: worship a book???
Why accuse her/him of worshipping a book? That's not what the person said.
Ofcourse God isn't limited. Anything is possible with him, yet you don't think he created the heaven and earth. You also think Allah is God.
Don't worship Allah!
