The Creation Story: Father Edwin

Important to explain the Creation Story as a 'story'.
Recognise evolution, as well as story of the fall and salvation
beginnings of mankind - ancient documents about the origins of man, creation of man by God.
God created Adam development of the body of woman/man recognises science and evolution, but when it comes to soul of man.
no conflict between the 2 because each of us created with love and a soul we are all necessary. We didn't come by chance we were put here by God he had will to create us. Not by chance as some believe so explain that to kids, God made you for a reason, he wanted to it wasn't just by chance so kids get the message that they are important.

The church will always defend the scriptures it's about why we are here what we are called for. we are called into a greater blessing.
Book of Genesis they are not science books they are sacred books given to us by God to help understand him better and what he wants us to be.

Q What about the dinosaurs -
context of time in the story. What was the time.
Another thing to talk about is how God only told man and woman to multiply the world and look after the world, not the dinosaurs etc
