The creation story in Genesis 1 is among the most controversial text ever written. It is the foundation of the Bible - in the beginning. Secular skeptics frequently portray it as a myth, an ancient fable unworthy of serious consideration by the enlightened freethinker. Others that believe all or part of the story fuss about its meaning and how it should be interpreted -- literally, figuratively, mystically, or allegorically. I was in the skeptic camp a few years back, but now I say not.

When completed, this website will have posted about a half dozen or so essays ABOUT GENESIS. The main essay entitled Is Genesis 1 Believable? is cornerstone. My mission was to honestly reexamine each literal word in the creation story to determine if it is indeed feasible and believable. I challenge you to read it carefully and deliberately rethink what is really being said in the first chapter of the Bible.

To the reader, bear with me and walk through my thoughts. If you are a believer, you will gain new information and inspiration to defend your faith. If you are an atheist, agnostic, or skeptic, you will understand how Genesis 1 is believable, even though you do not believe.
