The Historical and Literal Truth in Genesis 1-11
Are the early chapters of Genesis historically and literally accurate? In the current issue of Acts and Facts, Dr. Andrew A. Snelling, with Answers in Genesis, answers this question affirmatively in “Genesis: Real, Reliable, Historical“: “The Bible never claims to be a textbook on history or science, but if God is who He claims to be, then He has all knowledge and power, and never makes mistakes. Therefore, if the Bible is the Word of God, then it must be truthful, even when it touches upon matters of history and science. Otherwise, this Creator God is a liar. The very character of God requires the first eleven chapters of Genesis to be a trustworthy record.”
Last year I had the privilege of spending a week white water rafting through the Grand Canyon with Dr. Snelling serving as our geological lecturer. Besides being a good scholar, Dr. Snelling is also a diligent Bible student and a godly Christian. I would highly recommend that you read “Genesis: Real, Reliable, Historical.”
