A Concordist View of Genesis 1
Details
Presentation by Ray Williams
It’s well past time for the Christian Community to come together and settle on a consensus interpretation of the Biblical creation account. This presentation is a candidate to be such an interpretation. It’s an edited upgrade of a presentation that was given at the American Scientific Affiliation, which convened in July 2021.
This interpretation is a Concordist View of Genesis 1, which supports the harmony of Scripture and the scientific evidence of the world’s creation. The presentation includes a timeline of creation and reasons why the Calendar Day View and the Framework Hypothesis are not valid interpretations of the creation account.
