Can I ask if you can point me to the word 'ex nihilo' in what I wrote?
ED: You wrote, "I am waiting for someone to tell me why 'In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth' is not meant to be taken as real
history." Agreed, Dave and I shouldn't have analyzed Genesis 1:1 in
terms of its ancient Near Eastern meaning and historical/literary context,
but should have asked what you meant by the "history" in that verse. If
you meant merely that "God exists" and "separated chaos" in some
unspecified way that defies historical analysis, fine. That's really more
of a philosophical question than an historical one. And do you really
need to read Genesis 1:1 to "prove" such a thing or to believe it?
