"In the beginning, God created ..."

I saw a sad and disappointing news item recently about the anti-science wing of the GOP in Kansas suing the state over new science standards that focus on Darwinist evolution as the origins of life.  These taliban-gelicals feel that science which conflicts with their false interpretations of Genesis are imposing religion on them, in violation of the first amendment. (Note: The first amendment was numbered #3 in the original Bill of Rights, because the first 2 proposed amendments were not ratified in 1789. The original Second amendment was ratified in 1992 and is now the 27th Amendment.)

First, I weep (as does Jesus) for anyone whose faith is so weak that they can not accept new interpretation of Scripture in light of new knowledge.  God gave us minds to think and study His marvelous creation. These people are dissing God by refusing to think.

Genesis 1:1 tells us: "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." What more do we need to learn in Sunday School? The Big Bang and Evolution are just the methods God used to create our universe. He didn't do it 6 x 24 hours in 4004 BC.
