Six Days

Mark Driscoll posts a relatively helpful discussion of Creation, and some things we can learn from the early Genesis accounts. It's nothing terribly new to the discussion, but it's nice to see major church leaders taking this stuff on:

I would like to stress that Genesis was not written with the intention of being a scientific textbook. Rather, it is a theological narrative written to reveal the God of creation which means its emphasis is on God and not creation. Because of this, Hebrews 11:3 says "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."

Yes, thank you. God created the earth, he can use whatever mechanisms the Holy Spirit can work through. He wills it, it is done. Sheesh! Congrats again.
