Respecting Creation as the First Bible
The first act of divine revelation is creation itself. The first Bible is the Bible of nature. It was written at least 13.8 billion years ago, at the moment that we call the Big Bang, long before the Bible of words.
Father Richard • The First Bible
Creation accounts do not provide scientific truths about material origins; they reveal deeper truths: truths about identity—who God is and who we are—and purpose, the ends for which we are made.
Abigail Favale • The Genesis of Gender
God, we may say, sings us into being. He breathes forth a poem, and the poem is us: galaxies, planets, molecules, continents, animals, people. It is a beautiful poem, a glorious song, and somehow we are alive and in the middle of it.
