Joseph McLelland states “Genesis 1–11 is religious mythology …”
If we can’t believe Genesis 1–11, how can we believe any of the Bible? I have been a part of a Bible study on Genesis, entitled Christ in Genesis, The God of Creation. This study started with the fact that creation did not come about by itself or by evolution. God made the whole universe out of nothing in an orderly fashion by His spoken word. Jesus was with God (Gen. 1:26 and John 1:1) as was the Spirit (Gen. 1:2). Male and female were created in His own image by God, not spoken into existence (Gen. 1: 27) and God blessed them (v. 28).
I believe God’s plan of salvation was present in Genesis and that Genesis 1–11 are history.
