Episode notes
Science's Overreach on Creation
- Science has become arrogant by excluding God and claiming to explain all origins by itself.
- Terms like the Big Bang singularity are often placeholders for the unknowable God without acknowledging Him.
Reason vs. Genesis and Life Origins
- The Genesis creation account reveals what happened even if reason finds it beyond explanation.
- Attempts to explain life origins naturally without God revert to old foolish beliefs invalidated even by modern science.
Creation Begins in Darkness
- God creates in primordial darkness before calling forth light, symbolizing His unseen nature becoming revealed.
- Man alone can receive and be enlightened by God's word, unique among creation to perceive divine light.
