@Mark10.45

Even so, I know from reading Genesis 1-3 that God created everything, God existed before existence, He also created the means by which all is sustained. Man’s disobedience (sin) is what keeps us from being in the presence of God, but He has also given us a way back to Him. I know none of that can be proven scientifically. It surprises me that people that claim to understand the scripture waste their time trying to prove what even God says is not possible to prove. To me, it feels like insisting that God’s plan can be proven scientifically is on its own being disobedient to God.

Hi Mark
This is a very thoughtful response. Thanks.

What seems to me to be the case is that God provided to the earth with what is in Genesis 1-3. That appears to be the starting point of science. By science I mean creating hypotheses that can be tested. The hypotheses may include creating predictive models such as Newton’s model of Gravity or Maxwells model of electro magnetism. These models help us understand what God has provided.

It is fascinating to me what was given by God to the Israelites in the Torah which was beyond current human knowledge such as the concept of “clean animals” in Leviticus.
