Genesis 1 (Part 3)

GenesisSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides an overview of various perspectives on the creation account in Genesis 1. He notes that the origin of the sun, moon, and stars is not universally agreed upon, and that the classification of animals in the Bible is based on ecological zones rather than scientific taxonomy. He discusses human dominion over other creatures and the image of God that humans bear. Gregg also points out that while God is often referred to with masculine pronouns, God's gender is not determined by biology or anatomy.
