Ode to the Creator

Sunday: First this: God created the Heavens and Earth--all you see, all you don't see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss. There are many ways of describing something. Recently we have again opened the debate between Creationism and Evolution. Those pushing creationism misunderstand the Bible. Those pushing Evolution misunderstand God. The stories in Genesis were not meant to be a science, rather they were created as an ode to the creator. Think of a beautiful tapestry. The Bible looks at the design in the front and comments on its beauty, science looks at the intricacies of the weaving and the interplay of color and comments on its form. For either side to deny what is on the other side of the tapestry is a shame. They miss half of the beauty.
