Genesis teaches us three things

Genesis teaches us that God created, right?

But this is just generally, the details don't really matter. The details aren't really real. Right?

Wrong.

Its the details that teach us three critically important things about God, ourselves and our world.

1. God is active in the time-space world of our experience in the terms of that experience. God thus makes the domain where he brings together our being and his for fellowship.

2. God’s word, his ‘logos’ is prior to the material world and shapes it in a regular rational causality.

3. Our experience of God’s created world of space, energy and time is a real experience of real distinct coherent categories in consistent interaction
