What exactly happened, “In the beginning …” and in the time that followed? Throughout most of history, Genesis was considered an accurate and reliable record, but over the past 250 years, it has become one of the most controversial books of all time. Events like Creation of the universe in six days, a real Adam and Eve, and a global Flood are now questioned by many… including some Christians.
