How should we interpret the Genesis week?

[Michie]

I really believe there’s never been a better time to feel justified in crediting God with creating the universe.

With the only two rational choices for answering the primary question of metaphysics, “Why do we have something rather than nothing at all?” being an eternal universe or aneternal creator, and having so much evidence available today pointing towards a non-eternal universe, the idea of a creator God is looking pretty good.

Physicist Dr. Alexander Vilenkin puts what I think is the nail in the coffin of an eternal universe when he says:

“It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man. With the proof now in place, cosmologists can no longer hide behind the possibility of a past-eternal universe. There is no escape, they have to face the problem of a cosmic beginning.”

Critics of the God hypothesis used to normally punt towards the multi-verse theory to explain away our universe’s beginning, but today many now admit that no empirical evidence supports such a thing (they need faith to believe it) and so are coming around to Dr. Richard Swinburne’s position on the matter: “To postulate a trillion-trillion other universes, rather than one God, in order to explain the orderliness of our universe, seems the height of irrationality.”

Genesis is an ancient text, written by and to the ancient Israelites, it is not a book of modern 21st century physics or Big Bang cosmology related science:

Judeo- Christian theology teaches us that God has no "beginning and no ending" including Jesus Christ of Nazareth Himself who has no beginning and no ending yet came in the flesh.This creates a unique distinction: while the physical universe is believed to have a "beginning," the Person of Jesus Christ does not.
I believe the tension between science and theology is unnecessary as God gave us science as a means to unveil His creation. In other words, physics becomes the study of how the "Word" behaves in a physical dimension. I once fought the idea of man being created by primordial slime, but alas that is exactly what scripture tells us that man was made from dust. And that is just the start. There are countless descriptions of scientific theories already printed out in a book, the Bible, for all to read. It is an excellent fact checker.
Ultimately, it would behoove both scientists and theologians to partner together, merging empirical discovery with spiritual insight to uncover the fullness of the ultimate truth.
Be blessed.

yep. That it spot on

evolutionISM. Just another example of bad religion.

Christianity does much better by comparison/contrast

and so are coming around to Dr. Richard Swinburne’s position on the matter: “To postulate a trillion-trillion other universes, rather than one God, in order to explain the orderliness of our universe, seems the height of irrationality.”

Indeed. "you could not get a good story together for ONE universe popping itself out of nothing, so now you think you can do better if it were the same problem times a billion trillion?"

Agreed. It was absurd right out of the gate.

It is what God told humans thousands of years ago about what He actually did.

He told them the parts that they could fully understand
7 day week
Creation from nothing , by the word of God
Infinite , all knowing powerful Creator with unlimited ability.

And that how the earth, sun and moon came about with all life on Earth included.

That is also 100% what I believe as well because of all the various passages of Scriptures in the Old Testament and the New Testament concerning Creation.
