Do you believe in Genesis creation? ?

Yes, literal creation. Here is the truth: Death leads to immediate heaven or hell. The only way to have eternal life, the only way to be in heaven and avoid hell, is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life (John 6:47). It is that simple and that easy. It is too late to be saved after death. Jesus is God and Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Nothing else pays for our sins, not works from us or anything else, and Jesus already paid for our sins with His death and blood. You cannot add any works to getting into heaven (Romans 4:5).

Yes. Genesis account was not written to show the “how” of creation. Rather, it covers major events in a progressive way, describing what things were formed, the order in which they were formed and the time interval, or “day,” in which each first appeared.
When examining the Genesis account, it is helpful to keep in mind that it approaches matters from the standpoint of people on earth. So it describes events as they would have been seen by human observers had they been present. This can be noted from its treatment of events on the fourth Genesis “day.” There the sun and moon are described as great luminaries in comparison to the stars. Yet many stars are far greater than our sun, and the moon is insignificant in comparison to them. But not to an earthly observer. So, as seen from the earth, the sun appears to be a ‘greater light that rules the day’ and the moon a ‘lesser light that dominates the night.’—Genesis 1:14-18.

As a Scientist I see Genesis as an ALLEGORY that works for every level of humanity. and it is mostly about WHO rather than HOW. You can see "the big Bang" in it and also the latest DNA theory of how it may have originated in chemical interactions involving RED CLAY rather than the sea.(Adam means "from the red earth", BTW)----We are not meant to take Genesis Literally----

Yes.
Some interpretations of the Genesis creation, I disagree with, though.
I believe that Adam was formed about 6000 years ago.
I believe a "day" was not a modern day 24 hour day since there the two lights were not created until the fourth day (one being the sun).
God has proven that He is not a liar by His fulfilled prophecies.
I believe God's Word is the Truth.

When you read the Bible with a Spiritual perspective, you'll be able to understand that the Bible does not differ from the theory of evolution at all. God allowed the life to evolve through the ages, before he chose Adam and Eve from the existing human beings ( mud in Gen 2:7).
God's one day can be of a thousand earth years or more. As it is written in , , ,
2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day..

You have billions of years of creation mixed with evolution condensed into a few chapters. Plus, these stories were passed down orally for over 2500 years before being written. Many credible sources on the subject were banned by ruling officials down through the ages.

No, I don't believe in the story that 6th century BC Jews copied from Babylonian philosophers.

Its a very powerful story, written to explain what the writers and the people they were teaching had no possible knowledge about.
I believe lots of people believe it, even though science has proven it to be flawed.
