When we look at creation it's important to understand that what we read in Scripture, from beginning to end, is absolutely true. There are definitely areas of Scripture that our minds may not fully comprehend, and that is okay! That's where faith and trust come in. So when it becomes difficult to accept that God simply spoke and the most complex things came to be, or to imagine that all these things could have happened in just 6 days, or to comprehend that man started from the dust of the ground and women from the rib of the man, remember that God is God and we are not. He has revealed these things to us so that we can see His power, give Him glory, and humbly embrace His Truths with a child-like faith.
