Creation Happened. Get over it.

Creation Happened - Don't Be Distracted By Symantics​

Creation happened, that’s obvious – but how?
God formed us of the same stuff as a cow? ​

Both say yes, but there is a difference in the symantics.
Now how could this cause such Fundemental & Atheist antics? ​

Is our faith so tenuous that we have some conditional reliance
Upon every pronouncement of the false god’s of science? ​

On the one hand…​

We know God spoke in Euphemism and Parable.
Christ revealing truths through imagery comparable.​

On the other…​

Any theist would admit that beyond doubt God could
Create it all in moments whisper, and then decree it good.​

On the one hand…​

All the Bible’s verses are true in one or more ways.
But it isn’t always on the surface, visible to any passing gaze. ​

The story of the Sower told to the crowds is one such example.
But to understand it, even the disciples needed explanations ample.​

The truth of the Bible comes in many forms
History, Prophecy, Wisdom, and Ethical norms.​

So, the truth of the bible is not denied,
Indeed, let no one claim that Moses ever lied, ​

By considering creation as true ethically, or symbolically.
Indeed it is true, but maybe speaking to us prophetically.​

On the other…​

But, the truth can be multilayered at the same time:
As history and prophecy and true wisdom so sublime.​

Perhaps creation was more nuanced than ancient Hebrew could capture.
Perhaps it is a coded description of some future type of rapture.​

The point is – don’t let science become a stumbling block.
Guard your faith against the deceiver’s heretical talk.​

Mixing science with lies may make a potent poisoned cocktail.
And drinking it may cause some to allow their faith to fail.​

Such mysteries may be beyond our mental scope.
So, let not the atheist slay you faith and heart and hope. ​

So if God spoke the universe into existence
With a big-bang – a trillion miles in the distance
Science has no argument and offers no real resistance,
To my faith in His Truth. So what’s the difference? ​

I love the whole poem except for this verse.

 

[Floodnut]

The message of the poem seems to be that we cannot be sure how to approach the historical narrative of Genesis. However as non-allegorical reality by Jesus and several New Testament writers as well as the prophets and psalmists of the Old Testament. Then from this real truth lessons were drawn. If the antetype is myth then the lessons are meaningless.

Really!
I thought it was a pro-Creation message!
I guess I have a hard time with poetry.

Good poem! It's going on myspace.
