Genesis

Wasn't that the name of a rock band?
Or perhaps something from Star Trek? 
The world was not created in 7 days
  However, after Adam and Eve ate the deadly 
apple the world changed
The metaphor is excellent - The Bible is a poetry book 
The light from the past still has relevance
Even if we are now in the computer age
The old verities still have power
The world exists 
So do we
You can scoff at  existence 
Find it a kind of cosmic joke
But it has been said before 
Readers - This is not our fate

I, along with many others, believe our destiny lies in a belief in a sovereign God of all, who loves us and wishes nothing but the best for us. He, in his infinite wisdom, leaves it to us to reject or accept the offer of atonement of Calvary.... Nice writing.... Jake

It reminds me of something that could appear in that movie I saw a few months ago, a Christian movie called Believe. Or something like that. Where a young man challenges the atheists' views that the world really did not have origin from God. I don't know how anybody can believe we all came here out of nothing and will return to nothing. That just is SENSELESS in my opinion!
