Many people today have been taught and are convinced that the theory of evolution is a fact, and if they also happen to believe in God, they believe that he created the world by means of evolution. Therefore, they believe the creation story in Genesis is a “myth.” If you are one of those people, there is nothing I can say at this point to convince you otherwise, so I won’t try. I merely ask you to put that issue aside for the time being. Get to know who Jesus is through reading this book. That’s the first important step. Then, if you become convinced he is who the Bible says he is, and choose to enter into an experiential faith relationship with him as your Master and Savior, he will lead you to the understanding he wants you to have about creation and evolution. Try not to worry about it now. But having an understanding about the fall of mankind into sin as taught in Genesis is essential to understanding the message of the New Testament.
