Jeff Ward and Randy Spear open the book of Genesis after wrapping up Ephesians. They walk through: Genesis is the foundation of the our entire worldview. Jesus in every chapter of Genesis Why the creation account is one of the main places science, culture, and Scripture collide: How did we get here? Why are we here? Are we accountable? Is there absolute truth? Arrogance on both sides — science treated as an unchallengeable religion, and religion that won’t let anyone ask hard questions Two guardrails: don’t twist the Bible to fit science, and don’t make the Bible say what it doesn’t say Why they reject “God used evolution” as a reconciliation: they argue it violates the text A playground-fence illustration: boundaries create freedom. Their four fences for exploring Genesis 1:John 1:1–3 — all things created by the Word Hebrews 1:2–3 — all things created through the Son, who holds all things together Colossians 1:16–17 — all things created in, through, and for Him Romans 1:20 — creation leaves everyone without excuse • • The “where do babies come from?” analogy: Genesis 1 is true and complete, but it leaves holes for us to explore.
