YouTube description
In this video "Conversation" John Walton, professor of Old Testament History at Wheaton College, discusses the content of Genesis 1 and how it should be read. The account in Genesis is not intended to be an account of material origins, says Walton. Therefore, if that is so, the Bible has no narrative of material originsand if that is so, we don't need to defend the Bible's narrative of material origins against science's narrative of material origins.
