I saw a big billboard that said “EVOLUTION IS A LIE GENESIS 1:1” with the ape evolving to man with a big ❌ over it and a phone number like 1-800-THE-TRUTH or something.
god I absolutely love living in Florida 🙃

TBH I think Genesis 1:1 is much more about big bang denial than evolution.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

The flip side of that is you can do bath salts and burn that shit and it probably won’t even make the local news

Do you think this person read the book he is quoting? Do you think he read like 20-30 verses? He just read the first and was like, well, close enough

I don’t think the Bible denies the Big Bang. It doesn’t say how he created the universe except that it took 7 days which is a mistranslation anyway. The Hebrew word used in the Torah for day is ‘yom’ which means era.
In my opinion it’s very easy to reconcile the creation story with science.
