The Genesis Question

The Genesis Question refers to the debate about how to interpret the early chapters of the Book of Genesis in the Bible. It centers on whether these stories should be understood literally—as factual historical events—or metaphorically, as symbolic narratives conveying spiritual truths. This question influences perspectives on science, theology, and the origins of life and the universe. It invites discussions about faith, scientific evidence, and the nature of biblical texts, encouraging individuals to consider how these ancient stories relate to modern understanding of the world around us.
