From the Book
Genesis 1 is ancient cosmology
Ancient cosmology is function oriented
"Create" (Hebrew baraʼ) concerns and functions
The beginning state in Genesis 1 is nonfunctional
Days one to three in Genesis 1 establish functions
Days four to six in Genesis 1 install functionaries
Divine rest is in a temple
The cosmos is a temple
The seven days of Genesis 1 relate to the cosmic temple inauguration
The seven days of Genesis 1 do not concern material origins
"Functional cosmic temple" offers face-value exegesis
Other theories of Genesis 1 either go too far or not far enough
The difference between origin accounts in science and scripture is metaphysical in nature
God's roles as creator and sustainer are less different than we have thought
Current debate about intelligent design ultimately concerns purpose
Scientific explanations of origins can be viewed in light of purpose, and if so, are unobjectionable
Resulting theology in this view of Genesis 1 is stronger, not weaker
Public science education should be neutral regarding purpose.
