Question

answer in 2 to 3 sentences

1. Is it possible to believe in the bible and in the cosmos? Explain your answer

Answer 1

If the question means the literal understanding of the Bible and the modern scientific universe description – sure not, the difference is quite clear. But we can regard the Bible as a source which says of two worlds:
- physical one, which was created and therefore changeable in accordance with intrinsic (simple and not deep) laws and probably not eternal, and
- spiritual one, no beginning no end, full of sense and having no material expression, and therefore being eternal.
I can believe in two these worlds, i.e. in Bible and in cosmos - the human description of the physical world.
