The Bible is the looking-glass through which people can correctly view the
world. Though not a science book, Scripture does portray the history of
the universe. How the accounts of God’s creation, when death first
corrupted God’s perfect creation, and the global flood are taken by people
today – as either historical fact or mythical accounts – will greatly
influence whether they put their faith and trust in the Bible as the
authoritative word of God. The foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is
the Bible. If the Bible cannot be trusted, then the truth and hope the
Bible proclaims is in vain.
