People of faith believe in God. Those of the Christian faith believe Jesus is Godās Word (as spoken in Genesis); was born with a mission speak of Godās great love for us, and that He is in our midst in good times and in bad; on bright hillsides and in the dark valleys.
Why should it have been as the story in Genesis is about creation. The book of Genesis had other purposes. Stories, even biographies, take one thing at a time and present it before moving on.
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God
Genesis: God saidā¦ ā¦and there was. Godās Word created.
Anyway, that is Christian philosophy. Usually people who choose no religious philosophy stick with the Big Bang and evolution and leave philosophy out of it. That is fine, too. It all depends on what one is interested in exploring. I enjoy exploring both.
You didnāt answer my question about Jesus. Thatās OK. Creation doesnāt concern me except in the abstract. How we became what we are, what we think, why we believe what we believe, what is the nature of human behavior and what does that mean for our future . . . all those things are interesting and more. Creation is not part of that equation as far as Iām concerned. To me, it doesāt concern god or his children. It concerns us, and what we do. Big bang or not.
Letās see if I can present Johnās portrayal of Jesus being one with God more clearly. Genesis notes that creation occurred with Godās words. i.e., āLet their be lightā and so there was. Words have power. John saw Jesus as the Word, the power of God, who became man. As you see, in Johnās mind, the two are Oneā¦they cannot be separated. No Word, no creation; no speaking the Word, no creation.
