God created the universe, life and everything. In His own manner and time that we are and have been trying to understand since He created us. The story in the Book of Genesis is, in my view, the story of that creation in the manner of how it could be comprehended thousands of years ago and is not “literally” true in the sense of 6 days, each 24 earth hours long. But He did create all of us.

I also believe that there was a massive flood at sometime in the past, perhaps around 5,500 BC, that has come to us as the story of Noah’s flood, with the moral lessons embedded into it. Such lessons which make timeless sense. There are probably better sites than this one, http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_noah.htm , to describe the event I’ve mentioned, but it has the basic accounting of the scientific theory behind the flooding of the area we know as the Black Sea as the actual event we know as Noah’s flood.

Science grew during the Rennassiance and was fostered by the Church. To me, today’s separating Christian faith and science is a false separation. God gave us the ability to reason, we did not create it ourselves. God gave us that ability and the gift of free will to enable us to understand Him and His love for us. And He sent His only Son Jesus to remind us of that love and that He wants us to return to Him after our time on this small planet.
