Do You Believe That God Created The Bunnies And The Clouds And The Skeletons With A Touch Of His Finger?
Brooklyn resident and Yahoo columnist Virginia Heffernan made a… confession of sorts today? Basically, she believes in God-ey Claus:
“In New York City saying you’re a Creationist is like confessing you think Ahmedinejad has a couple of good points. Maybe I’m the only Creationist I know.This is how I came to it. Like many people, I heard no end of Bible stories as a kid, but in the 1970s in New England they always came with the caveat that they were metaphors. So I read the metaphors of Genesis and Exodus and was amused and bugged and uplifted and moved by them. And then I guess I wanted to know the truth of how the world began, so I was handed the Big Bang. That wasn’t a metaphor, but it wasn’t fact either. It was something called a hypothesis. And it was only a sentence. I was amused and moved, but considerably less amused and moved by the character-free Big Bang story (“something exploded”) than by the twisted and picturesque misadventures of Eve and Adam and Cain and Abel and Abraham…. I still read and read and listen and listen. And I have never found a more compelling story of our origins than the ones that involve God…. I guess I don’t ‘believe’ that the world was created in a few days, but what do I know?”
