Is it true that those who believe in the theory of evolution can’t believe in God? Or that those who believe in the Big Bang theory can’t believe the world was created? Explore resources that discuss this topic below.
If you want resources for thinking about how to understand the opening chapters of Genesis, you might like to start with this article by John Dickson: “The Genesis of Everything: An Historical Account of the Bible’s Opening Chapter” or with Allan Day’s article, “Adam, Anthropology and the Genesis Record: Taking Genesis Seriously in the Light of Contemporary Science.”
For more depth, see John Thompson’s long article/booklet (also available in hard copy from the ISCAST bookstore): Genesis 1–3: Science? History? Theology.
