 Coming out of a science museum - or reading a good book about the worlds history - I am deeper and
 deeper amazed by the way the bible tells the story of creation. It puts it into a framework of
-seven days - "creation days". Yet it summarizes the whole story in a way which is quite close to
+seven days - "creation days". Yet it summarizes the whole story in a way which is not that far away from

-In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

+The bible sees a creation in what we observe as evolution today. It sees God at work in building
+the pieces and history which we perceive as fact. The creation accounts are putting into place the basic
+components of our world: the earth, night and day, time and development, plants, animals and the human
+race. It describes that it came into the world, step by step, made by an eternal creator. We are part
+of something fantastic, something great, something made in an unbelievable way. Let us take it that
+way, with awe and admiration. It tells the greatness of the maker, what ever you think about him.
