Rachel Held Evans Quote

It is a fundamental misunderstanding of Genesis, wrote Peter Enns, to expect it to answer questions generated by a modern worldview, such as whether the days were literal or figurative, or whether the days of creation can be lined up with modern science, or whether the flood was local or universal. The question that Genesis is prepared to answer is whether Yahweh, the God of Israel, is worthy of worship.2
