The Bible begins with the only beginning that man`s mind can handle - Creator.  And our Creator created everything that is.<p>If a person is unwilling to believe this verse, they will be unable to believe anything that follows.<p>Our Lord is Creator of all things and the upholder of all things by the Word of His Power. Heb 1:3<p>Genesis is revelation knowledge of the origin of all things.  All other explanations are foolishness based on man`s rational mind and its limitations.<hr>For those who might be tempted to doubt the creation account written down by Moses here is something to consider: -> Adam lived 930 years so he was alive while Methusaleh was born in 687 and could have shared the creation account with him. -> Methusaleh lived until 1656 while Shem was born in 1558 so Methusaleh could have shared the creation account with Shem. -> Shem lived until 2158 while Abraham was born in 2008 so he could have shared the creation account with Abraham.<p>Though life spans greatly reduced after TheFlood, we also have Abraham being the patriarch of what would be later called the ChildrenOfIsrael - Israel being his grandson.   The Children of Israel dwelt in Goshen for 400 years when Moses was born.<p>Moses penned the creation account which had been passed down from generation to generation by a people to whom heritage was important.  I am confident that the details of the creation were filled in when Moses spoke with our Creator.
