Bible Note: Greetings Beja, The whole crux of the difference in thesis resides in the exact usage of the Hebrew word “tohu wabbohu” found in Genesis 1:2. We know that God is perfect and He doesn’t create things that are imperfect, as tohu wabbohu implies. There is a marked contrast in the Hebrew between verse one and verse two, which is not implied in the English language, the sum of which has been deeply looked into by students of the languages at Dallas Theological Seminary and brought to the forefront in the book that I suggested. It sheds light on the ”hoax” of theistic evolution and at the same time answers the question of the prehistoric forms of the past and it all ties together without contradiction. CDBJ |
