Jesus once told the religious leaders that if they believed Moses they’d believe him, because Moses wrote about him. Now what does this have to do with interpreting Genesis?

Well, Jesus clearly believed Moses! And Moses wrote Genesis, along with the other four books of the Pentateuch. And he thought Moses’ writings were so clear that the religious leaders should’ve recognized Jesus from them, if only they’d believe!

But if those first chapters of Genesis don’t really mean what they say then Genesis isn’t clear—it’s confusing and we need modern “science” to understand it!

No, Moses was clear—God created in just six days.
