Description


Billions of people around the world identify themselves as Christians. It is the world’s largest religion. The Bible is accepted as the foundation for that belief. I examine the events that are purported to have happened in Genesis to determine if they are compatible with our knowledge of how the universe operates and to see what God truly considers important.
